Written Question
NHS: Drugs
Monday 31st July 2023

Asked by: Lord Shipley (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the number of patients who have (1) been hospitalised, and (2) sought alternative treatment, due to delays in homecare medicines delivery; and what assessment they have made of the cost of this to the NHS.

Answered by Lord Markham - Shadow Minister (Science, Innovation and Technology)

NHS England cannot provide relevant information to these questions without creation of new data and analysis derived from manual clinical review or other processes. Arrangements for future reporting are being worked on and NHS England is undertaking a piece of work to understand the issues in homecare, so as to inform future improvement actions. A project by the National Homecare Medicines Committee to review the national Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) set is already underway with consultation due later this summer and final documents expected for approval in December 2023. Publication of performance against the KPIs is part of this project.

Written Question
Health and Care Bill
Tuesday 22nd February 2022

Asked by: Lord Shipley (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of how the reforms in the Health and Care Bill will meet the needs of Inclusion Health populations.

Answered by Lord Kamall - Shadow Minister (Health and Social Care)

The Health and Care Bill proposes integrated care boards and requires the creation of integrated care partnerships (ICPs) in each local system area. ICPs will bring together the National Health Service, local authorities and wider representatives, as appropriate to address the health, public health and social care needs of people in their areas. We expect that this would include addressing the needs of inclusion health groups. This and other measures contained in the Bill will enable more integrated care for patients and service users, including inclusion health groups.
