answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2024 answer text <p>The second opinion appointed doctor (SOAD) service safeguards the rights of patients subject to the Mental Health Act in specific circumstances. A SOAD is an independent doctor appointed by the Care Quality Commission, who gives a second opinion on whether certain types of medical treatment for a mental disorder should be given without the patient’s consent. SOADs are consulted in certain circumstances when a patient refuses treatment, or is too ill or otherwise incapable of giving consent. Outside of these specific circumstances, if an individual disagrees with their doctor about a mental health diagnosis or treatment, they can ask for a second opinion, although there is no legal right to one.</p><p>Good Medical Practice, from the General Medical Council (GMC), sets out the standards of care and behaviour expected of all medical doctors practising in the United Kingdom. It states that doctors must recognise a patient’s right to choose whether to accept their advice, and respect a patient’s right to seek a second opinion. The GMC is an independent regulator, and is responsible for operational maters including any assessment of its policies and guidance. Managing second opinion requests is the responsibility of local National Health Service organisations.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 29/04/2024 16:28:27 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2023 answer text <p>The Right Care, Right Person (RCRP) model was developed by Humberside police force. Where forces choose to adopt this approach, in partnership with health and social care partners, police will only respond to mental health incidents where there is a clear risk to life or serious harm. RCRP is not in itself a model for referring people to other agencies, but is principally a model for police in control rooms to triage calls. As such, we do not have information about how the model has impacted on the number of cases referred to the National Health Service in the areas where it is being operated.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is developing a National Partnership Agreement (NPA) with the National Police Chiefs' Council, NHS England, and the Home Office to set out the principles of Right Care Right Person and encourage a national roll-out. The NPA will provide a framework for local areas to adopt the principles of the RCRP approach, but implementation will be planned locally through partnerships with police forces, health bodies and local authorities, to ensure that patient safety is maintained and people in mental health crisis are not left without support.</p><p> </p><p>It will be up to local areas to identify exactly how they adopt the model. Police Chiefs are operationally independent, and moreover developing plans for implementation in partnership with local health and social care agencies will be crucial to the success of the rollout. NHS England are in the process of co-producing guidance with multi-agency professionals and people with lived experience of mental health problems to ensure that RCRP meets the needs of local vulnerable people. This local autonomy means that it is not possible to provide estimates for the information requested on costs and staffing requirements in the NHS, which will be determined differently in each area according to localised agreements and structures.</p><p> </p><p>For the same reason, it is not possible to provide an assessment of the impact of the model on social services and other local authority-run services. The Department has engaged with social care stakeholders in the development of the NPA, which will encourage police forces to work in partnership with social services to ensure the model is rolled out safely.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield grouped question UIN 189713 189714 189715 189718 question first answered 23/06/2023 13:42:31 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2023 answer text <p>The department is responsible for policy related children’s social care, which is the focus of this answer.</p><p>The department is working with our health partners across government, including the Department for Health and Social Care, NHS England, and key stakeholders, such as the Association of Directors of Children’s Services and the Local Government Association, to consider how we can better work together to deliver children’s social care and health services for children with the most complex needs, including those with significant mental health challenges.</p><p>A Task and Finish Group will examine the barriers to commissioning and providing joint care and health provision, and how to support the sector to better this deliver in future. This will be achieved through implementing the recommendations in ‘Stable Homes Built on Love’, the government’s strategy for transforming children’s social care, and building on other ongoing programmes, such as the NHS Long Term Plan.</p><p>The department works closely with health partners across government to deliver integrated care and health services for children with complex mental health needs placed in secure children’s homes. These homes provide specialist care in a secure environment for vulnerable children and young people who have either been remanded or sentenced by the courts, or detained for their own welfare or to ensure the safety of others. We are supporting the delivery of NHS England’s programme of the Framework for Integrated Care (SECURE STAIRS), which is a care framework that addresses the needs of children and young people in secure children’s homes. This programme has been developed to ensure that staff have the right skills to care for children and young people appropriately and to provide training to support young people’s complex mental health needs.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Claire Coutinho question first answered 15/05/2023 14:05:04 answering member 4806 label Biography information for Claire Coutinho
