There is no national standard for waiting to see a general practitioner (GP) and data on waiting times is not collected centrally. To implement the Government\u2019s commitment to transform GP access however, £175 million has been invested in the Prime Minister\u2019s GP Access Fund to test improved and innovative access to GP services. Across the two waves of the Access Fund, there are 57 schemes covering over 2,500 practices and 18 million patients \u2013 a third of the population \u2013 have benefited from improved access and transformational change at local level. This includes more appointments being made available, especially at times more convenient for patients, such as weekday evenings and weekends. It also includes different approaches like telephone consultations and better use of the wider primary care workforce (such as Advanced Nurse Practitioners, pharmacists, the voluntary sector, physiotherapists and paramedics) to deliver improved access to patients. These approaches have helped release local GP capacity and more appropriately matched the needs of patients with the most appropriate professional to care for them. In addition to Access Fund sites, other clinical commissioning groups may offer local initiatives for improving access to GPs.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1201", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Alistair Burt"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Alistair Burt"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-07-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-07-13T16:58:41.087Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-07-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "General Practitioners"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what progress has been made in reducing GP waiting times.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4381", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Danny Kinahan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Antrim"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Danny Kinahan"} ], "uin" : "42256"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/533872", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/533872/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Mazars LLP were appointed to carry out an independent review of the costs of nursing care by a registered nurse. Mazars\u2019 report[1] recommends that the National Health Service-funded nursing care rate should be £156.25 \u2013 40% higher than the 2015/16 rate. The Government has taken on board Mazars\u2019 recommendation, meaning the rates paid by clinical commissioning groups for eligible care home residents assessed to require the help of a registered nurse are now as follows:<\/p>
<\/p>
\u2015 standard rate - £156.25 per week; and<\/p>
\u2015 higher rate - £215.04 per week (this is only relevant for those people who were already on the higher rate in 2007 when the single band was introduced).<\/p>
