This includes the proposed regulation for the 2021-27 Erasmus+ programme, which has reached a partial general approach in the Council of the European Union.</p><p>Improving social mobility is a priority for this government and we want everyone to have the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or where they grew up. For this reason, the government welcomes the aim of the Commission’s proposal to make the next programme more accessible to participants, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.</p><p>We will continue to participate in discussions on the draft regulation while we remain an EU Member State and are considering options for future participation in the next Erasmus+ programme. Of course, the text of the regulation has not been finalised, including important aspects such as the terms of third-country participation, and we will need to consider the regulation as a whole.</p><p>Ultimately, any decisions about our participation in the Erasmus+ programme will also be a matter for wider negotiations about our future relationship with the EU.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 13/05/2019 16:10:12 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>As part of the pathology networking programme, NHS Improvement has issued a number of toolkits and guidance documents to support the clinical and commercial relationships that trusts enter into, whether they are between public sector organisations or with commercial organisations. This guidance has been drawn from lessons learnt by the sector from successful and unsuccessful networking programmes across England. It will be expected that all hospital trusts ensure adequate performance and review policies and commercial contract terms to provide assurance that the provider will take action in the event of any difficulty.</p><p>In addition to this, NHS Improvement will be reissuing the Pathology Quality Assurance Dashboard (PQAD) (as recommended following the 2012 Barnes review into the King's Mill quality failure). This dashboard, aimed toward trust executives and boards, seeks to demonstrate the clinical, operational and commercial performance. The National Pathology Optimisation and Delivery Group is the oversight board for the pathology networking programme and includes members of the pathology community, arm’s length bodies and commissioners. It will be developing a governance role to ensure the network formation and PQAD are fit for purpose to enable individual trusts to identify issues early and in advance of them impacting upon patient care.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 08/05/2019 11:09:28 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

NHS Improvement has set out guidance that includes a range of acceptable operating models for networks, including enabling them to work with any qualified provider. It is for individual Trust boards to assess and select the model that best serves their patients and that organisation. Informing this decision, NHS organisations have policies to ensure consultation around change with the community that they serve. The decision about consultation in this instance will sit with the South East London hospitals involved. Neither the Department or NHS England have plans to consult on this specific network.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 08/05/2019 11:08:23 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>By 2021, all pathology services across England will be part of a pathology network. Pathology networks will mean quicker test turnaround times, improved access to more complex tests at a lower overall cost and better career opportunities for healthcare scientists and clinicians. This will improve the quality of the service offered to patients and benefit patient care. NHS Improvement estimates have suggested a single network is predicting to make savings of £26 million during the next five years, while others forecasting their average cost per test drop by a fifth, and overall the National Health Service hopes to save £200 million through the project by 2021.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 08/05/2019 11:07:21 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
