To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment his Department has made of the results of the pilot Patient Experience of Diabetes Services survey published in June 2014; and if he will make a statement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment his Department has made of the results of the pilot Patient Experience of Diabetes Services survey published in June 2014; and if he will make a statement.
The Patient Experience of Diabetes Services survey is commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership, on behalf of NHS England, and delivered by the Health and Social Care Information Centre, working in collaboration with Diabetes UK and Public Health England (PHE). It will therefore be a matter for PHE and NHS England to decide on future plans for this survey.
There has been no decision made about the future of the Patient Experience of Diabetes Survey. NHS England is currently reviewing the whole National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme collectively, including the pilots that have reported. The first of these meetings was on 11 November.
My Rt. hon. Friend, The Secretary of State meets with NHS England on a weekly basis and discusses a wide range of healthcare issues.
However, there have been no specific discussions between the Secretary of State for Health and NHS England on the future funding of the Patient Experience of Diabetes Survey or between Ministers and officials of the Department and NHS England on plans to roll out the diabetes patient experience survey across all NHS services in England.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many patients were seen by (a) general practitioners and (b) accident and emergency staff in each of the last 15 years for which figures are available.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many patients were seen by (a) general practitioners and (b) accident and emergency staff in each of the last 15 years for which figures are available.
Information about numbers of patients seen by general practitioners (GPs) is available in Trends in Consultation Rates in General Practice-1995-2009. This report estimates the number of consultations by GPs, nurses and other primary care clinicians in England using statistical techniques based on a sample. Consultations include visits to surgery, telephone consultations, home visits and consultations at other locations. Information is not available for years after 2008.
Information about numbers of patients seen by accident and emergency (A&E) staff is available from weekly situation reports about A&E activity and waiting times.
Such information as is available for the last 15 years is shown in the following table:

Information on GP consultations is for calendar years.
Information on A&E attendances is for financial years. It is not
possible to show both datasets on a consistent calendar or financial
year
basis. 2 KH09 data is used from 1987-88 to 2001-02. Quarterly Monitoring of Accident and Emergency data is used from 2002-03 to 2010-11. Weekly situation reports are used from 2011-12 onwards. 3 Attendance data are for all A&E department types, including major A&Es departments, single speciality departments, and minor injury units. In 2002-03, attendance data was first collected split by type, but not from walk-in centres (WiCs). Data from WiCs was first collected in 2003-04. Hence, data prior to 2003-04 is not comparable.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the potential effects of regulatory changes allowing registered medical practitioners to form an opinion about the mental or physical health of a female patient without meeting or examining her; and if he will make a statement.

The approach to abortion in the United Kingdom is set out in the Abortion Act 1967 and this remains unchanged. The Act sets out that two doctors must certify that in their opinion, which must be formed in good faith, a request for an abortion meets at least one (and the same) of the grounds set out in the Act.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate his Department has made of the number of (a) patients and (b) parents of patients who cannot afford travel costs to access medical treatment.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate his Department has made of the number of (a) patients and (b) parents of patients who cannot afford travel costs to access medical treatment.
The Department does not collect these data, and so can make no estimate of these numbers.
However, patients who are on low incomes or in receipt of qualifying benefits can have their travel costs reimbursed through the Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme when attending secondary care appointments in the United Kingdom on referral by a doctor or dentist.
People receiving a benefit providing entitlement to the Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme can also claim for travel costs where the health care appointment has been made for a child or other dependent.
The Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme is part of the NHS Low Income Scheme, and was set up to provide financial assistance to those patients and in certain cases their carers who do not have a medical need for ambulance transport, but who require assistance with their travel costs.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 8 July 2013, Official Report, column 86W, on cancer, what the (a) timescales and (b) terms of reference are of the review on the National Cancer Patient Experience Survey.
The questionnaire for the latest Cancer Patient Experience Survey (CPES) is currently out with patients and NHS England will publish the results later in the year.
NHS England is planning to undertake a comprehensive review of its programme of insight and feedback to ensure that it meets the insight needs of the national health service as effectively as possible and ensure that it captures the best information on patient experience.
The scope of the review is not confined to surveys, and extends to how it can most effectively exploit the full range of insight methodologies and techniques, including:
surveys;
the Friends and Family Test;
patient stories;
focus groups and in-depth interviews;
engagement and consultations;
social media;
observational work; and
peer research.
NHS England is in the process of establishing the terms of reference and steering group for the review.
The development of the CPES is overseen by the Cancer Patient Experience Advisory Group, which is run by NHS England, and has members from across a range of cancer services, charities and experts.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he has had with NHS England on ensuring that future iterations of the Cancer Patient Experience Survey include questions targeted at those with secondary breast cancer.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he has had with NHS England on ensuring that future iterations of the Cancer Patient Experience Survey include questions targeted at those with secondary breast cancer.
There have been no ministerial discussions with NHS England on ensuring that future iterations of the Cancer Patient Experience Survey include questions targeted at those with secondary breast cancer.
The questions in the Cancer Patient Experience Survey are designed to capture the experience of patients with all types of cancer at different stages of their care and are therefore deliberately not ‘cancer type specific’.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many taxis have been used by ambulance trusts to collect urgent or emergency patients in each region in each of the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many taxis have been used by ambulance trusts to collect urgent or emergency patients in each region in each of the last five years.
These data are not collected centrally.
Taxis are never used for patients in emergency or life threatening situations.
The first priority for all emergency services is the welfare and safety of patients. It is up to individual ambulance trusts to decide how resources are used to meet local demand.
All 999 calls to the ambulance service are assessed on priority and paramedics are dispatched to the most serious cases first, known as Red calls, which require a response within eight minutes in 75% of cases.
In very limited circumstances where an ambulance is clearly not required, and the trust is under pressure, patients may be transported by taxis. This is only after the patient has been assessed, usually on a face to face basis, as having a minor ailment and confirmed as having a transport only need.
