The Government\u2019s guidance on the procurement of steel was published in November 2015 and subsequently updated in December 2016. All major government projects are required to take cognisance of the Crown Commercial Service Procurement Policy Note 11/16: \u201cProcuring Steel in Major Projects - Revised Guidance\u201d (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-1116-procuring-steel-in-major-projects-revised-guidance<\/a> ).<\/p>

<\/p>

Whilst HS2 Ltd. does not directly buy steel, it does apply a strategic and transparent approach to the sourcing of steel for the HS2 Programme through its Tier 1 contractors and their supply chains. HS2 Ltd ensures a fair procurement process which complies with UK procurement law and the Government policy on the procurement of steel.<\/p>

Evening and weekend general practice appointments are routinely available across the country to enable patients to find appointments at a time convenient to them, with millions of patients having already benefitted from this.<\/p>

Care UK is the provider for both the Out of Hours (OOH) and the 111 service for Surrey. Since April 2019 NHS North West Surrey Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has been the lead commissioner for OOH general practitioner (GP) services for North West Surrey, Surrey Downs, Guildford and Waverley and East Surrey CCGs.<\/p>

There are eight Primary Care Centres in Surrey that are involved in the provision of OOH services.<\/p>

The Woking Out of Hours primary care centre provides OOH services on Monday-Friday 19:00-23:59 and 08:00-23:59 at weekends and bank/public holidays. This service has not changed since the new contract began at the end of March 2019. There are no plans to change the current contracted hours of opening or operation for Woking.<\/p>

North West Surrey CCG has advised that the following steps have been put in place to maintain the level of OOH GP cover in Surrey:<\/p>

- Direct booking being made available for extended access hubs through 111;<\/p>

- Ongoing recruitment/pro-active skill mix, including GPs, advanced nurse practitioners, urgent care practitioners, and dental and mental health nurses;<\/p>

- The NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service, allowing patients to be referred to pharmacists for minor ailments;<\/p>

- Pharmacists able to issue prescriptions and repeat prescriptions out of hours;<\/p>

- Collaborative working with the GP federation and primary care networks; and<\/p>

- Looking at activity versus productivity going into winter and whether extra resources will be needed.<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England is undertaking a national review of access to general practice services, to improve patient access and reduce unwarranted variation in experience. The NHS Long Term Plan made a clear commitment to the future of general practice, with primary and community care set to receive at least £4.5 billion more a year by 2023/24 in real terms. This was followed by the five-year GP contract framework, which will provide greater financial security and certainty for practices to plan ahead.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4380", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jo Churchill"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bury St Edmunds"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jo Churchill"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-10-23T11:54:56.363Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-10-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "General Practitioners: Surrey"} , "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 he is taking to maintain the level of out-of-hours GP cover in Surrey.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4090", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Jonathan Lord"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Woking"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Jonathan Lord"} ], "uin" : "559"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 2, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
