To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to help ensure that patients do not have travel journeys of more than 45 minutes when attending radiotherapy appointments.
The travel a patient needs to undertake is dependent on the types of treatment needed on an individual case basis. Specialised services are not available in every local hospital because they have to be delivered by specialist teams of health professionals who have the necessary skills, experience and access to equipment and medicines. Patient-specific requirements are also based on what each individual could manage and cope with and would be discussed between the patient and clinician.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made a recent assessment of the potential merits of using digital technology to help patients stay safe in their homes; and if he provide funding for the provision of that digital technology.
People at the Heart of Care, the Government’s white paper on social care reform, committed to launch a scheme to use promising care technologies to help people live independently in their own homes for longer.
The Department is working with all 42 integrated care systems (ICSs) across the country, to support the adoption of technology for social care. To date, 13 ICSs are trialling technologies to support people to remain independent in their own homes, and this support will be scaled further across the country next financial year.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the impact of delayed discharge on patients deconditioning; and what steps he is taking to ensure that patients functional skills continue to advance while waiting for discharge.
No assessment has been made. However, we know that deconditioning is a risk of continued immobility for hospital patients, especially older people, and this can happen as a result of delayed discharge.
NHS England are testing a new community recovery service at Intermediate Care Pilot sites which will support reduced de-conditioning and improve people’s independence.

There is no limit on the distance that would be required for someone to receive cancer treatment. The travel a patient needs to undertake is dependent on the types of treatment needed on an individual case basis. Specialised services are not available in every local hospital because they have to be delivered by specialist teams of health professionals who have the necessary skills, experience and access to equipment and medicines.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether she plans to require the Care Quality Commission to take further steps to prevent the (a) physical and (b) psychological abuse of people in the health and care system.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is improving how services are regulated to identify where the culture of a service is likely to lead to such abuse.
The CQC is reviewing its work on ‘Out of Sight, Who Cares?’ which looked at the use of restraint, seclusion and segregation in care services for people with a mental health condition and learning disabilities and implementing this learning across other service types.
