answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2019 answer text <p>The Department is supporting the National Health Service to prepare as robustly as possible for the coming winter and has been working closely with NHS England and NHS Improvement to ensure all trusts have plans in place. Providers and commissioners across the East Midlands have been working closely together to prepare for the winter period, supported by regional teams in NHS Improvement and NHS England. The Department has invested an additional £420 million this winter aimed at increasing the resilience and capacity of healthcare providers, including in the East Midlands. Moreover, the region is also benefiting from extended general practitioner hours to give patients more choice and take pressure off emergency departments, as well as the extensive national campaigns undertaken to make people aware of NHS 111 services and pharmacy services and encouraging the public to use the most appropriate NHS service for their needs.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 11/01/2019 12:16:14 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>NHS England and Health Education England (HEE) are working together with the profession to increase the general practitioner (GP) workforce nationally. This includes measures to boost recruitment, address the reasons why GPs are leaving the profession, and encourage GPs to return to practice.</p><p> </p><p>The Targeted Enhanced Recruitment Scheme is available in Nottinghamshire and offers a £20,000 salary supplement to attract doctors to parts of the country where there have been consistent shortages of GP trainees. 12 places were available in 2018 and a further 12 have been made available in 2019 in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire.</p><p> </p><p>Mansfield and Ashfield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Newark and Sherwood CCG advise that the first wave of their international recruitment has taken place and the first few recruits are in post with further candidates in the pipeline.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>Nationally, the number of dentists remain high. The latest data published in NHS Digital’s annual report on 30 August 2018 shows that 24,308 dentists delivered National Health Service dental services in 2017/18, 30 more than in 2016-17. The data is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-dental-statistics/2017-18-annual-report" target="_blank">https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-dental-statistics/2017-18-annual-report</a></p><p> </p><p>We are aware that the same figures show there has been a small fall in the total numbers of dentists working on NHS contracts. NHS England commissions primary care dental services and is responsible for ensuring there are sufficient dental services to meet local need. NHS England is closely monitoring any local difficulties in recruitment and retention and over the summer held a workshop with various dental stakeholders to identify the causes and potential actions.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 21/12/2018 14:11:42 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
