Cutting National Health Service waiting lists is one of this Government\u2019s top priorities. We are making good progress on tackling the longest waits, to ensure patients get the care they need when they need it.<\/p>

To tackle waiting lists and reduce waiting times in England, the Government plans to spend more than £8 billion from 2022/23 to 2024/25 to help drive up and protect elective activity. This is supported further by £5.9 billion investment in capital for new beds, equipment and technology.<\/p>

The NHS is also rolling out new and expanded surgical hubs to increase capacity and activity, focusing on providing high volume low complexity surgery. This is backed by £1.5 billion capital funding. There are currently 93 elective surgical hubs that are operational across England.<\/p>

We have now moved our focus to cutting waits of 65 weeks or more to as near zero as possible, by March 2024. Capacity is being sought across the NHS and the independent sector locally, regionally and across the country to support efforts in hitting this target.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4423", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Will Quince"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Colchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Will Quince"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-06-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-06-29T11:07:40.103Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-06-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Health Services: Waiting Lists"} , "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 and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to reduce NHS waiting times.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "191306"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1648069", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1648069/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We are taking a number of steps to help reduce excess deaths, including those which involve COVID-19. Vaccines remain the first line of defence. Antivirals and other treatments provide a necessary additional defence by protecting patients who become infected with COVID-19, particularly those for whom the vaccine may be less effective such as the immunosuppressed. We are preparing for variants of COVID-19 and seasonal flu infections with an integrated COVID-19 booster and flu vaccination programme, minimising hospital admissions from both viruses.<\/p>

The NHS has published a delivery plan setting out a clear vision for how the NHS will recover and expand elective services over the next three years. The plan commits the NHS to deliver 9 million additional treatments and diagnostic procedures over the next three years and around 30 per cent more elective activity than it was doing before the pandemic by 2024-25.<\/p>

We are making progress in restoring NHS Health Check delivery, a core part of our cardiovascular disease prevention pathway. Delivery is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by June 2023 and we are creating a national digital NHS Health Check so we can go even further.<\/p>

On 24 January 2023, the Government announced that it will publish a Major Conditions Strategy. The strategy will tackle conditions that contribute most to morbidity and mortality across the population in England including, cancers, cardiovascular disease, including stroke and diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, dementia, mental ill health and musculoskeletal conditions.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4679", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Neil O'Brien"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Harborough"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Neil O'Brien"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-06-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-06-30T10:56:55.503Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-06-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Death"} , "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 and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to reduce excess deaths.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4471", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rachael Maskell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "York Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rachael Maskell"} ], "uin" : "191309"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1648073", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1648073/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The latest available identifiable expenditure on health per head in the United Kingdom was £3,271 per person in 2020/21. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) publish a comprehensive set of indicators on health system performance across OECD countries which includes health expenditure. In their latest Health at a Glance publication covering the OECD area, the UK\u2019s expenditure on health per capita was above the OECD average. The UK was also above the OECD average in the publications based on 2018 and on 2016 data.<\/p>

Young people are supported by\u202fteam leaders and support workers who are on site 24 hours a day. Further care is provided in hotels by teams of social workers and nurses. All contingency sites have security staff on site 24/7 and providers liaise closely with local police to ensure the welfare and safety of vulnerable residents.<\/p>

There were 154 Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC) missing as of 8 June 2023. The further data requested cannot be provided as it is from live operational databases, not published data.<\/p>

If any child goes missing, including an accompanied asylum seeking child, the MARS (Missing After Reasonable Steps) protocol is followed. A multi-agency, missing persons meeting is chaired by the local authority to establish the young person's whereabouts and to ensure that they are safe. Similar protocols within police forces have safely reduced the number of missing episodes from placements by 36%.<\/p>

The Home Office continue to work with the police and local authorities to ensure the children in our care are safe.

From July 2023, the Ofgem price cap will be set at £2,074, below the EPG discount level of £3,000 for a typical household. This means that customers will pay the full unit rate for their energy, including contributions to environmental and social schemes.<\/p>

<\/p>

The cost of these schemes has always been included in the Ofgem price cap and is not additional. The government does not routinely conduct an equality impact assessment of a new retail price cap level.<\/p>
