To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Department of Health and Social Care or NHS England made or commissioned a clinical or patient safety impact assessment of the duty in paragraph 11C(2) of Schedule 3 to the National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts)...
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Department of Health and Social Care or NHS England made or commissioned a clinical or patient safety impact assessment of the duty in paragraph 11C(2) of Schedule 3 to the National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts)...
The Department and NHS England considered the potential impacts of expanding Advice and Guidance (A&G) as part of the policy development process, including through clinical input, established governance arrangements, and equalities considerations. A&G is intended to support timely clinical decision‑making and ensure patients are directed to the most appropriate care. National guidance is in place to support its safe and consistent use, and the use of A&G does not change existing clinical accountability or patient safety arrangements.
The contract does not change the clinical threshold for referral to specialist care. General practitioner (GPs) should continue to make a clinical decision to refer for specialist care where that is in the patient’s best interests, and to request specialist advice where it is needed. GPs retain responsibility for referral decisions, and this model supports, and does not replace, clinical judgement.
The 2026/27 GP Contract embeds the previous A&G enhanced service funding into core practice funding. Following near universal uptake of the A&G Enhanced Service in 2025/26, the focus for 2026/27 is on stability and simplicity. Embedding the specialist advice model within the core contract recognises its role in routine clinical practice, removes annual signups, and provides more predictable funding while supporting consistent patient pathways.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether it is his policy that the NHS should refuse in-patient treatment for people who cite reasonable grounds for refusing a PCR test and are opposed to receipt of a covid-19 vaccination; and if he will make a statement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether it is his policy that the NHS should refuse in-patient treatment for people who cite reasonable grounds for refusing a PCR test and are opposed to receipt of a covid-19 vaccination; and if he will make a statement.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the NHS policy of requiring the informed consent of patients, including information about benefits and risks, was applied to patients before they were administered with covid-19 vaccines; and if he will make a statement.
Consent to care and treatment is a regulated activity in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2009. Informed consent must be obtained from all patients prior to receiving their COVID-19 vaccine.
In addition to a discussion prior to the clinician administering the COVID-19 vaccine, individuals can access guides to vaccination which provide details of the vaccine, how it is administered, possible side effects and other warnings and precautions. This may be provided to the individual as part of the vaccination invitation process, is available online or at the vaccination site. For those not legally competent to consent themselves, alternative arrangements are in place to ensure valid and informed consent is obtained.

These services are provided to NHS patients free at the point of delivery with private hospitals being reimbursed on a cost recovery basis.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, on what date St Leonards Hospital, Ringwood, will close; what alternative patient accommodation will be available; and what the net change in the number of hospital beds in Dorset will be as a result of that closure.
NHS England has advised that the decision to close St Leonard’s Community Hospital has been made as part of Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group’s (CCG’s) Clinical Service Review (CSR). The CSR is intended to address sustainability issues in the county through reconfiguration of acute services and development of an integrated out-of-hospital model. More information on the CSR is available at:
http://www.dorsetsvision.nhs.uk
In September 2017, NHS Dorset CCG’s Governing Body agreed the proposed CSR changes to health and care services in Dorset.
Dorset CCG has advised that community beds will not be closed until the CCG is satisfied that suitable alternative provision has been made in the system. This will be sometime in 2018, although no firm date has been set.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 14 November 2016 to Question 52428, for what reason there is no information given in that Answer on the proportion of patients being referred to hospital emergency departments by South West Ambulance and ambulance services in London...
Information about the proportion of patients attended to by ambulances which are referred to emergency departments is not collected centrally.
However, NHS England does publish monthly information on the number of transported incidents. The number of transported incidents does not equal the number of patients involved as one incident with two or more patients transported is counted as one incident. From April 2013, only incidents with a patient journey to Type 1 or Type 2 accident and emergency (A&E) are included.
Data on the number of transported incidents can be found at:
https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/ambulance-quality-indicators/
The following table sets out data for the three ambulance trusts in question for 2015/16.

Notes:
1. âTransported incidentsâ were previously described as âEmergency Journeysâ. From April 2013, only incidents with a patient journey to Type 1 or Type 2 A&E are included, and one incident with two or more patients transported is counted as one incident.
2. Type 1 A&E refers to consultant-led 24-hour department with full resuscitation facilities and designated accommodation for the reception of A&E patients.
3. Type 2 A&E refers to consultant-led single specialty services (e.g. ophthalmology, dental) with designated accommodation for the reception of patients.

departments is recorded as the number of attendances. It should be
noted that an individual person may attend the same or different
A&E departments within any given year and therefore this does not
represent the number of patients. The data presented includes planned
follow-up attendances. 2 A&E service
providers A provider code is a unique code that identifies an
organisation acting as a health care provider (e.g. NHS trust or
primary care trust). Data from some independent sector providers, where
the onus for arrangement of dataflows is on the commissioner, may be
missing. Care must be taken when using this data as the counts may be
lower than true figures. 3 Provisional data
The data is provisional and may be incomplete or contain errors for
which no adjustments have yet been made. Counts produced from
provisional data are likely to be lower than those generated for the
same period in the final dataset. This shortfall will be most
pronounced in the final month of the latest period, i.e. November from
the (month nine) April to November extract. It is also probable that
clinical data are not complete, which may in particular affect the last
two months of any given period. There may also be errors due to coding
inconsistencies that have not yet been investigated and
corrected. Source: Hospital Episode
