answer text <p>The impact assessment published on 11 December 2021 estimated the proportion and number of workers who may remain unvaccinated against COVID-19 by the end of 12-week grace period and are not medically exempt. For National Health Service staff this was 4.9% or 73,000 and in all social care settings, this was 7.6% or 38,000. Decisions on the dismissal of unvaccinated workers, rather than redeployment, or unpaid leave, was not quantified as this would be a decision for individual employers.</p><p>On 31 January 2022, we announced the Government’s intention to revoke the regulations making vaccination as condition of deployment in health and social care, subject to consultation.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The technical assurance process is ongoing, therefore the quantity of personal protective equipment currently deemed not fit for use is not yet available. The Department continues to work through resolution processes with the relevant companies.</p><p>1,177 million items were identified as having potential use in other settings, at a corresponding cost of £1,826 million, of which £931 million was paid to suppliers processed through the high priority lane. The Department estimates there are 3.8 billion items of excess stock. However, as excess stock is not ring-fenced as a separate category, the information on the costs for items secured through high priority lane contracts is not available.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department funds research on health and social care through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The NIHR spent £40.3 million on neurological research in 2020/21, which includes research on migraines. While it is not usual practice to ring-fence funding for particular topics or conditions, the NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including migraines.</p><p>Guidance is available to patients, health care professionals and commissioners on the diagnosis, prevention and management of migraines. This includes guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the RightCare Headache and Migraines Toolkit. The RightCare toolkit should be used by local clinical commissioning groups to ensure that patients are supported effectively. In addition, the National Neurosciences Advisory Group is currently revising its headache and facial pain optimal clinical pathway.</p> more like this

This should be their hospital hepatologist doctor or viral hepatitis nurse. If the medical practitioner cannot, or does not, provide evidence for any elements of their answers, they may provide an endorsement based on professional judgement or balance of probability.</p><p>Applicants must arrange for their medical practitioner to complete parts 1 to 8 of the stage 2 application form and provide supporting evidence from the applicant’s medical records.

answer text <p>The Department regularly engages with NHS England and NHS Improvement to monitor the levels of face to face appointments in general practice. NHS England and NHS Improvement’s guidance states that patients’ input into choices about appointment mode should be sought. Practices should respect preferences for face-to-face care unless there are good clinical reasons to the contrary. Online tools must always be provided in addition to, rather than as a replacement for, other channels for accessing general practice.</p> more like this
