uin	32628
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2022 answer text <p>No specific estimate has been made as a phone-only booking system has not been implemented nationally. Patients can contact their general practitioner (GP) practice, including by telephone, in person and using a secure online form. NHS England and NHS Improvement advise that these methods are available to patients in GP practices on the Isle of Wight.</p><p>The GP Contract states that a practice must not enter into, renew or extend a contract or other arrangement for telephone services unless it is satisfied that patients will not be charged more for phoning the practice than phoning a geographical landline number. Where it is not possible for a practice to take reasonable steps to do so, the practice must consider introducing a system where if a caller asks for their call to be returned, this will be done at the practice’s own expense.</p> answering member constituency Halesowen and Rowley Regis answering member printed James Morris question first answered 18/07/2022 10:04:15 answering member 3992 label Biography information for James Morris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2022 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) provides invaluable independent scrutiny and found that despite some improvements in core functioning, officer shortages were an ongoing issue predominantly due to high volumes of COVID related absences and that 40% of staff at that time could not be deployed to operational duties. This directly impacted upon the regime offer for prisoners.</p><p>Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) are currently supporting the prison through the Operational Stability Panel by offering incentivised payments to staff to cover existing shortfalls. Recruitment of prison officers remains a focus and campaigns continue to be advertised to attract new staff.</p><p>Prisoner welfare is monitored by residential officers, with systems in place to ensure the most vulnerable prisoners are offered support through keywork and assessment, care in custody and teamwork (ACCT) processes. Prisoner safety and welfare is a top priority of the Governor and Prison Group Director. HMIP found that outcomes in terms of prisoner safety had improved since the last inspection in 2018.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 12/07/2022 11:45:31 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
