question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Justice on preventing escalating clinical negligence costs in the NHS.
tabling member constituency	Tooting
tabling member printed	Dr Rosena Allin-Khan
uin	2889
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2017 answer text <p>The costs of clinical negligence are rising due to a range of factors such as rising activity in the National Health Service, increasing life expectancy, costs of care and factors within the legal environment. We need to tackle this rising expenditure whilst ensuring that patients harmed by the NHS can access appropriate compensation and that the NHS is able to learn from mistakes and improve patient care.</p><p> </p><p>In February my Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health met with the former Secretary of State for Justice (Elizabeth Truss) at which the Secretary of State for Health was informed that that there would be a change in the personal injury discount rate. This change will have a significant impact on the cost of clinical negligence and the effect on general practice indemnity costs is of particular concern. This is why alongside the announcement of a change to the rate the government announced that the Department will work closely with general practitioners (GPs) and Medical Defence Organisations to ensure that appropriate funding is available to meet additional costs to GPs, recognising the crucial role they play in the delivery of the NHS. Since that time the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) have consulted on proposals to change how the discount rate is set in future.</p><p>The Department is working closely with MoJ on proposals to introduce fixed recoverable costs in clinical negligence cases which, if implemented, would reduce the disproportionality between damages and costs in lower value claims. The Department also recently completed a consultation on proposals to introduce a ‘Rapid Resolution and Redress’ scheme which, if implemented, would be an alternative compensation scheme for families who haveexperienced severe avoidable birth injury. This scheme is aimed at delivering a long-term reduction in these harmful events through investigation and learning and providing an improved experience for affected families. This would be a voluntary scheme which would not affect an individual's right to litigate.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne grouped question UIN 2890 question first answered 12/07/2017 13:29:39 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2017 answer text <p>The government announced on 1 March 2017 proposals for mandatory Relationships Education in primary schools, Relationships and Sex Education in secondary schools (RSE), and potentially also Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE), or elements thereof, in all schools but this will be subject to wider consultation.</p><p> </p><p>We want all pupils to be taught how to recognise and build healthy relationships of all kinds, including family relationships, friendships and, at the appropriate age, sexual relationships.</p><p> </p><p>We expect all schools to ensure that young people, whatever their developing sexuality or identity, feel that Relationships Education and RSE are relevant to them and sensitive to their needs. This is stated in the current Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) guidance. As part of our wider engagement, we envisage working with organisations who represent LGBT communities and who are already supporting schools in this area. There will be an opportunity to ensure that the revised guidance will draw on the good practice that already exists on how to provide good quality, inclusive subject content that is also consistent with the ethos of the school.</p><p> </p><p>We plan to undertake a comprehensive programme of engagement with stakeholders about future provision in these areas. A key element of the engagement process will be gathering views and evidence to enable us to get the balance of subject content right, including through statutory guidance, enabling schools to design appropriate lessons. This will include consultation with young people and we will share further details on our wider engagement shortly.</p><p>The government’s plan is for schools to teach mandatory Relationships Education, RSE, and subject to further consideration and consultation, PSHE, we expect from September 2019.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 21/04/2017 13:40:16 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2017 answer text <p>Following the Chancellor's announcement at Autumn Statement 2016, details of the new measure, draft legislation and a supporting technical note were placed on GOV.UK for an 8 week consultation period. At the beginning of January, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) contacted business representative bodies, to discuss the change and ask for their feedback. Changes were made to the legislation and guidance in response to this feedback.</p><p> </p><p>At the end of February, HMRC delivered an online calculator to help businesses work out whether they have limited costs. This provides a link to the updated VAT Notice 733, where the changes are explained in more detail. These products were developed using feedback from businesses using the scheme and their agents. They were made available once the changes to the legislation were agreed to help businesses get ready for the change.</p><p> </p><p>Once the flat rate change takes effect, businesses who have not already used these tools will be able to link to these products when registering for VAT or when completing a VAT return on line.</p><p> </p><p>During March, HMRC will contact all flat rate businesses by letter and also by email (where an email address is held), advising them of the change and telling them what they need to do next. HMRC began issuing these emails and letters on 10 March.</p><p> </p><p>Many flat rate businesses are represented by an agent. At the beginning of March, HMRC used one of their weekly Agent Talking Point meetings to highlight the changes to the VAT flat rate scheme and provide the opportunity for agents to talk with subject matter experts from HMRC. Agent Talking Points are weekly online digital meetings for tax agents and advisers, and over 1,900 agents attended the flat rate scheme session.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 21/03/2017 11:56:57 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
