Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the provision of dental services in (a) Kingston Upon Hull North constituency and (b) the areas covered by (i) Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and (ii) Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care System.
Answered by Neil O'Brien - Shadow Minister (Policy Renewal and Development)
From 1 April 2023, the responsibility for commissioning primary care dentistry to meet the needs of the local population has been delegated to integrated care boards (ICBs) across England. NHS England has published an Assurance Framework which sets out its approach to providing assurance that commissioning functions are carried out safely and effectively by ICBs.
In September 2022, we announced ‘Our plan for patients’, which outlines how we will meet oral health needs and increase access to dental care across England. These will increase access to National Health Service dentistry whilst making the NHS dental contract more attractive to dental practices. The changes we have implemented include a contractual requirement for NHS dentists to keep their NHS.UK profiles up to date to make it easier for patients to seek treatment; and enabling practices to over-deliver on their NHS contract to deliver more NHS care.
We are working on further reforms which will be announced later this year.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to increase NHS staffing levels in hospitals in Hull.
Answered by Robert Jenrick
Local National Health Service trusts are responsible for managing staffing levels and recruiting the appropriate number of health professionals required to meet local service need. In the Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, the number of full time equivalent (FTE) staff has decreased by 49 or 0.6% through the transfer of approximately 280 staff from Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust to York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in November 2021. The number of FTE staff has increased by 731 or 10.5% since May 2010, which includes an increase in the number of doctors by 314 or 38.2% since May 2010. The number of FTE nurses and health visitors has increased in the last year by 80 or 3.9%.
Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has offered 146 posts to adult nurse students and 20 posts to paediatric nurse students predominantly from the University of Hull to commence in September and October 2022. In addition, the Trust has employed 340 international nurses since 2018 and are recruiting a further 60 in 2022/23. A schools engagement programme is promoting National Health Service careers to students in Hull and East Yorkshire and a partnership is in place with a local sixth form college to provide a health and social care academy.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to help reduce Accident & Emergency waiting times at Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
Answered by Robert Jenrick
In order to mitigate the impact of the number of admitted patients who no longer have medical Criteria to Reside and cannot be swiftly discharged on accident and emergency services, Humber and North Integrated Care Board held a winter planning summit in August to identify actions and risks on patient flow and system pressures.
Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is examining measures to improve average length of stay within acute wards to improve flow from the emergency department; identify actions with ambulance service and system partners to improve ambulance handover times; change clinical pathways to turn around more patients on the same day; and improve morning discharges. The Trust has also opened approximately 100 additional beds to support the management of No Criteria to Reside patients.
