answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2021 answer text <p>NHS England is responsible for commissioning primary care dental services, including domiciliary services. Domiciliary dental services may be delivered by any dentist holding a contract to deliver general dental services or may be specifically commissioned by NHS England locally as an additional service.</p><p>In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, remote triage is being used to assess patients requiring domiciliary treatment, prioritising those requiring urgent dental treatment that cannot be managed remotely. Due to the Infection Prevention and Control measures required, face to face interventions require significant planning, particularly for patients in shared care settings. Therefore, risk assessments and remote triage are vital to ensure that patient outcomes are not compromised considering the high community prevalence of COVID-19. The regional NHS England and NHS Improvement commissioning team will continue to monitor and review domiciliary provision as part of the wider recovery and restoration of services planning.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 27/01/2021 13:50:44 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 63521 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>NHS England and NHS Improvement commissioned the general practice COVID-19 vaccination service in line with agreed national terms and conditions, as an enhanced service (ES). Individual general practices, rather than Primary Care Networks (PCNs), have applied to deliver COVID-19 vaccinations, coming together in groupings to administer the vaccine. Some of these groupings mirror existing PCN configurations but others do not.</p><p>The number of practices that have opted into the ES is not held centrally. Hundreds of PCN sites have already been mobilised; further PCN sites are due to mobilise over the coming weeks so coverage will continue to increase. These groupings can vaccinate both unregistered patients and patients registered with practices that have not signed up to deliver the vaccine.</p><p>Where there are gaps in provision, NHS England will commission additional providers, such as community pharmacy, to provide COVID-19 vaccinations, with 200 community pharmacies due to be online next week. and that process has commenced. As more vaccines become available, there will be increased flexibility in local delivery.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 116542 question first answered 11/01/2021 16:07:23 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 63523 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
