Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what discussions has he had with NHS England on the future funding of the Patient Experience of Diabetes Survey.
Answered by Jane Ellison
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.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of the introduction of a central contract for the Nursery Milk Scheme on the viability of the supply of school milk to over-fives.
Answered by Dan Poulter
The Nursery Milk Scheme supplies nursery milk to over 48,000 settings annually including local authority and private nurseries and independent child-minders. A small minority of these settings also receive deliveries of school milk.
Proposals for modernising the nursery Milk Scheme were consulted upon by the Department of Health in 2012 and the Government response, published in March this year, set out plans for procurement of a direct supply Nursery Milk Scheme.
Plans for implementing the modernised Nursery Milk Scheme have been put together, discussed, and assessed between Government officials via a cross Government Nursery Milk Scheme Task and Finish Group which includes representatives from Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, who are responsible for the School Milk Scheme .
The Department has also held six separate supplier days as part of putting together the invitation to tender documents for the modernised Nursery Milk Scheme. These presented an opportunity for officials to discuss proposals for the Scheme with companies from the dairy and milk delivery sectors. These discussions included open forum question and answer sessions between company representatives and officials from the Department of Health and, also, one to one sessions between individual companies and Departmental officials. Some of these discussions included references to milk deliveries for the over 5s School milk scheme.
The specific issue of School milk deliveries to the over 5s was also mentioned in discussions between Departmental officials and a group of key market representatives invited to a meeting organised by Dairy UK in April 2014.
