Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with the (a) CEO, (b) Accountable Officers and (c) chief nurses of the CCGs rated as inadequate in NHS England’s assessment framework on the performance of those CCGs; what measures have been agreed to help ensure improvement of the performance of those CCGs; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Stephen Hammond
My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has meetings with many health leaders and other key stakeholders on a regular basis.
All clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) rated as inadequate in the annual performance assessment of CCGs are placed in NHS England’s special measures regime. This is a non-statutory, internal support regime, tailored to the CCG’s circumstances, requiring the delivery of an action plan for improvement.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to publish the social care green paper.
Answered by Caroline Dinenage
As an ageing society, we need to reach a longer-term sustainable settlement for social care. Given wider events, and because we recognise that parliamentary colleagues will wish to engage thoroughly in the debate following publication, it was not possible to publish the Adult Social Care Green Paper by the end of 2018. The Government is committed to publishing it at the earliest opportunity this year.
