Asked by:

Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps his Department took to promote awareness of the NHS consultation paper on the Government's Mandate to NHS England to 2020 published in October 2015.
Answered by George Freeman
The consultation was announced in a Written Ministerial Statement to Parliament on 29 October 2015 (HCWS274), published online, tweeted by the Department, briefed to the Health Service Journal and circulated through a number of Departmental and NHS bulletins. They included the Health and Care Partnerships e-bulletin which is sent to over 300 health and care sector organisations, the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) bulletin which goes to all CCGs, and HealthWatch England’s bulletin which goes to all local HealthWatch organisations.
Written Question
Friday 23rd October 2015
Asked by:
Andrew Bingham (Conservative - High Peak)
Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the availability of NHS dentist places in (a) High Peak constituency, (b) Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group and (c) Tameside and Glossop Clinical Commissioning Group in each of the last five years.
Answered by Alistair Burt
NHS England is responsible for commissioning primary and secondary care dental services to meet local need. NHS England advises that oral health needs assessments for general dentistry are being conducted for areas that include Tameside and Glossop and Derbyshire.
Overall, access continues to increase with the latest access data showing 30 million patients were seen by a dentist in the 24 month period ending 30 June 2015. This is 1.7 million more patients than May 2010.
There is further to go, and this is why the Government is committed to increasing access still further through reform of the dental contract to incentivise dentists to focus on prevention as well as treatment and, by seeing patients at intervals appropriate to their clinical need, freeing up spaces for additional patients to be seen.

Written Question
Friday 11th September 2015
Asked by:
Andrew Bingham (Conservative - High Peak)
Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the current levels of funding within the NHS for wheelchair provision for outpatients.
Answered by Alistair Burt
Wheelchair services are the responsibility of local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). No information is currently held centrally about CCGs’ expenditure on wheelchair services or the level of service that they provide, including information about access and patient experience, that would enable the transparent assessment and benchmarking of provision for outpatients.
NHS England has recently established a new national wheelchair dataset, which went live from 1 July. This will enable the use of data in future to drive improvement in wheelchair services.
