To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the cost to his Department has been of implementing the Friends and Family Test.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the cost to his Department has been of implementing the Friends and Family Test.
The introduction of the Friends and Family Test (FFT) was announced in May 2012. Implementation began in April 2013 and is due to be completed by end March 2015. NHS England is responsible for implementing the FFT.
NHS service providers are responsible for funding their own implementation of the FFT as a requirement of their National Health Service contract. Information about these costs is not available centrally. NHS England has a national programme that co-ordinates implementation of the FFT. During 2013/14 and, to date, during 2014/15 the programme has spent £5,499,915. This includes work directly with NHS service providers to support and advise on implementation.
The FFT has a number of strengths against which costs need to be considered.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what plans NHS England has to make use of the Commissioning for Quality and Innovation Scheme to improve coverage of (a) clinical audits and (b) patient experience surveys.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what plans NHS England has to make use of the Commissioning for Quality and Innovation Scheme to improve coverage of (a) clinical audits and (b) patient experience surveys.
The national Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) scheme for 2014-15 includes national indicators relating to the NHS Safety Thermometer, the Friends and Family Test (FFT), diagnosis and onward referral of patients with dementia or delirium, and assessment of physical health risk factors and provision of appropriate interventions for mental health inpatients. The FFT indicator incentivises providers to implement the FFT scheme and to achieve good response rates; the dementia indicator requires providers to undertake a carer survey; and the mental health indicator involves a specific process of national clinical audit, facilitated by the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
CQUIN applies to all providers who operate under the NHS Standard Contract. The Contract, which is used for all providers of National Health Service-funded care other than primary care, already includes as core standards for all providers requirements to:
- put in place an ongoing proportionate programme of clinical audit;
- participate in relevant national clinical audits under the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme; and
- undertake patient, carer and staff surveys, including FFT.
NHS England is reviewing both CQUIN and the NHS Standard Contract and will be publishing updated versions of both for 2015-16 shortly.

As ever, my hon. Friend makes an incredibly powerful point. An institution is only as strong as the staff within it, and when an institution is not taking seriously an issue that the staff confront as a daily reality, it puts them in an impossible position. He rightly says that...

My hon. Friend makes another important point about the role of leadership in the culture change that we are seeking to drive. I believe all hon.

I completely understand, Madam Deputy Speaker, and I do not intend to give you a commentary on every line of the Bill; that happens in Committee. However, given that the Government are supporting this private Member’s Bill, I thought it was important that, as part of our wider commitment, I...

It is important to recognise that clauses 2 and 3 relate only to how information is shared by organisations involved in an individual’s direct care. My hon. Friend made the point that this Bill is solely

My hon. Friend makes an excellent point. As he is aware, there are a number of initiatives on data across the health and care system, which is why the Secretary of State has appointed Dame Fiona Caldicott to advise the Government and to look at the pilots that NHS England...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I have concluded my prepared remarks. I just want to deal, if I may, with the questions that were asked of me in the House.
Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I have concluded my prepared remarks. I just want to deal, if I may, with the questions that were asked of me in the House.
Thank you for that clarification, Madam Deputy Speaker. In that case, perhaps it would be appropriate for me to list the questions now and then deal with them by writing to Members.
There were important questions about the Law Commission, some of which I have addressed, but I will write more...

After the shocking events at Mid Staffs under the last Government, I would like to congratulate the Secretary of State on his crusade for accountability and transparency as the best disinfectant, as shown by his support for whistleblowers and for 4,000 additional nurses. Does he agree that the collection, monitoring...

I had the great privilege of working in biomedical research in and around the NHS for 15 years before coming to the House. Is it not the case that the challenges of an ageing population, the explosion of new biomedical treatments, diagnostics and devices, and the aspirations of modern patients...
