answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2023 answer text <p>We are taking action to recover elective services nationally, including for people in the Mid Bedfordshire constituency, by working towards the targets set out in the Elective Recovery Plan and providing the National Health Service with record levels of staffing and funding. To support elective recovery, we plan to spend more than £8 billion from 2022-23 to 2024-25, supported by a £5.9 billion investment in capital – for new beds, equipment and technology.</p><p>£2.3 billion was awarded at the 2021 Spending Review to transform diagnostic services over the next three years. Most of this will help increase the number of Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs) up to 160 by March 2025, expanding and protecting elective planned diagnostic services. As at November 2023, there are 130 CDCs currently operational that have delivered over five million additional tests since July 2021, including large, standard and hub models.  This includes two CDCs in Bedfordshire – North Bedfordshire CDC in Bedford and Whitehouse Health Centre CDC in Milton Keynes.</p><p>We are also transforming the way the NHS provides elective care by increasing activity through dedicated and protected surgical hubs, focusing on providing high volume low complexity surgery, as recommended by the Royal College of Surgeons of England. There are currently 95 elective surgical hubs that are operational across England as of 16 November 2023. These surgical hubs will help separate elective care facilities from urgent and emergency care.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 20/11/2023 17:16:19 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2021 answer text <p>The UK has been consistent in calling for the protection of civilians in Ethiopia, unfettered humanitarian access, and respect for human rights. Currently 5.2 million are in need of food aid. We are deeply concerned about the impact of the conflict on food security and nutrition in Tigray, including reports of people dying from hunger. UK-funded aid agencies in Tigray are delivering support in challenging circumstances, including food, shelter, water and healthcare. Teams from the British Embassy in Addis Ababa visited Tigray from 4-5 March, 4-7 April and the week of 19 April and met with humanitarian agencies working in the region. To date the UK has provided £22 million of badly needed support to people in Tigray. We continue to call for unfettered humanitarian access.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 20/05/2021 14:29:25 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
