Down Syndrome Bill

"I thank my hon. Friend. It is absolutely right that the integrated care boards and the Health and Care Bill need to accommodate what is suggested in this private Member’s Bill. The integrated care boards, as I have said, will have a huge breadth of responsibility. Unless we are quite …..."

Down Syndrome Bill

"My hon. Friend makes a good point and we touched on it earlier. An understanding of what support is needed specifically is probably not good enough in the world of employment, education and local authorities as statutory providers. What this Bill will do, I believe, is put a duty of …..."

Written Question
Batteries: Death and Injuries
Monday 8th November 2021

Asked by: Jo Gideon (Conservative - Stoke-on-Trent Central)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what measures are in place for the NHS to collect clinical data and record injuries and deaths of children resulting from the ingestion of button batteries in the UK.

Answered by Maggie Throup

The NHS England commissioned National Child Mortality Database Programme collects information on all live-born children resident in England who die before their 18th birthday, which includes information on deaths resulting from the ingestion of button batteries.

For injuries caused by ingestion of button batteries, the Emergency Care Data Set (ECDS) includes relevant codes that enable us to identify where children have attended accident and emergency having ingested button batteries. However, the ECDS is a new data set therefore NHS Digital would require an assessment and validation of these codes.

"I have listened with great interest to the points made by the hon. Lady and by the shadow Minister, the hon. Member for Ellesmere Port and Neston, but I do not recognise my NHS as being a sort of binary choice between public and private sectors.

During the pandemic, we …..."

Health and Care Bill (Fourth sitting)

"Q We have had a pretty large consensus across a large number of organisations that the Bill is welcome as an enabler. Also, earlier this morning, we had a comment that no Bill has ever changed people’s behaviour. To what extent do you think the Bill will enable people’s …..."

Health and Care Bill (Fourth sitting)

"Q How might we implement the changes that you suggest?

Richard Murray: I would really ensure that local government is part of this. It is an independent voice, and has already been a useful counterweight to some of those centralising forces, as local government comes closer to the NHS. …..."
