The reconfiguration of local health services is a matter for the local National Health Service. All service changes should be led by clinicians and be in the best interests of patients, not driven from the top down.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

It is for NHS commissioners and providers to work together, with local authorities, patients and the public, in bringing forward proposals that will improve the quality, safety and sustainability of healthcare services.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Any changes must be supported by the Government\u2019s four tests for service change, namely:<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

- support from general practitioner commissioners;<\/p>

<\/p>

- clarity on the clinical evidence base;<\/p>

<\/p>

- robust patient and public engagement; and<\/p>

<\/p>

- support for patient choice.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Once a decision on a local case for change has been made, it is up to the NHS to ensure its local services meet the needs of its population.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

More generally, we would expect any local plans for changes to acute services to take full account of the impact on neighbouring hospitals.<\/p>

This Government recognises that through physical education, competitive school sport and encouraging healthy eating, schools can help address the problem of childhood obesity. The PE and sports premium is part of a package of measures to tackle obesity in primary schools. Our research found 96% of schools said that their pupils are now living healthier lives as a result of the funding. In addition, the introduction of universal infant free school meals will ensure that all infants receive a nutritious school lunch.<\/p>
