NHS Bursaries — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Stephen Paul Barclay (Conservative, Centre-right): The hon. Lady speaks with great authority on health matters, but, again, she misses the distinction between the number of applicants and the number of nurses in training. It is about how many places are available, and we are increasing by 25% the number of nurses in training. That is what will address the supply and address some of the vacancies in the profession.
NHS Bursaries — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Stephen Paul Barclay (Conservative, Centre-right): The distinction the hon. Lady fails to make is that in England we are increasing the number of nurses in training by 25%; we are ensuring that nurses who have left the profession can return through the return-to-work programme; and we are introducing significant additional pay through "Agenda for Change". As my right hon. Friend the Member for Harlow (Robert Halfon) said, we are also creating new routes so that those who come into the NHS through other routes, such as by joining as a healthcare assistant, are not trapped in those roles but are able to progress, because the Conservative party backs people who want to progress in their careers. Healthcare assistants who want to progress into nursing should have that opportunity.
NHS Bursaries — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Stephen Paul Barclay (Conservative, Centre-right): If Members vote against the policy tomorrow, the reality is that they will be voting for a cap on the number of postgraduate nurses going into the system, and therefore they will be saying that more people should be rejected—more people should lose the opportunity to become nurses—because they want to have a cap that restricts the supply of teaching places.
Perinatal Mental Health — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): We are committed to improving mental health support for expectant and new mothers, and GPs are crucial to that. We recognise that specialist services are also required, and I am proud to announce today that NHS England will be spending £23 million on rolling out the second wave of community perinatal services to underserved parts of the country and is on course to achieve full geographic coverage by 2020-21.
Perinatal Mental Health — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): The second wave roll-out will cover the entire geographical spread of the country. This is a transformational programme, so, by definition, it will take time to roll out, but I agree with the hon. Lady that GPs do have a role to play in this. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommends postnatal checks for mothers, and NHS England expects commissioners to undertake that those guidelines are being met. As for any further support by GPs, she will be aware that there is a renegotiation of the GP contract and it will be covered there.
Perinatal Mental Health — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
John Simon Bercow (Conservative, Centre-right): Some young people are mothers and do have mental health problems, upon which important matter the hon. Member for Faversham and Mid Kent (Helen Whately) has Question 19, which, sadly, will not be reached. If she wishes to give the House the benefit of her thoughts now, she is most welcome to do so, but it is not obligatory. [Interruption.] We will get her in later.
Perinatal Mental Health — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): As I have said before, the proposals in the Green Paper on children and young people’s mental health were very much focused on what we were going to be delivering through schools. Alongside that, we have a very ambitious programme on perinatal mental health, where we are spending an extra £365 million on delivering both acute care and more support in the community. Today, I have just announced the second wave of that funding.
Perinatal Mental Health — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): I do not accept what the hon. Lady is saying. We are investing in new mother and baby units and making sure we have sufficiently good provision geographically so that mothers and babies can access them. We are also investing in more support in the community. I am pleased that the programme we are delivering, which is £365 million of additional support, will deliver early intervention for young mothers and babies.
Rural and Urban Communities: Health and Care Needs — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): The diverse health and social care needs of local communities are considered in this Government’s policy and implementation. We are actively supporting local areas, including through Public Health England’s joint work with the Local Government Association, providing evidence-based recommendations to tackle the different needs of rural communities.
Rural and Urban Communities: Health and Care Needs — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): The centre has already engaged with stakeholders to identify the issues and responses to the challenge of providing health and care in rural settings. The centre will focus on four areas—data; research; technology; and workforce and learning—and will work with partners to identify, scale up and promote the adoption of its activities across the public and private health sector to reduce health inequalities and improve the quality of life for all rural people.
Rural and Urban Communities: Health and Care Needs — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): I will address the point the hon. Gentleman makes about urban and rural health, as my constituency has the same situation. Obviously, there are specific challenges with regard to sparsity of population, which have to be tackled through the funding formula. The new national centre for rural health and care will address that.
Rural and Urban Communities: Health and Care Needs — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Matthew Robert Warman (Conservative, Centre-right): For people in my rural constituency, the value of services at Boston’s paediatric unit could not be higher. Does the Minister agree with me—and with what the Prime Minister said last Wednesday—that we should leave no stone unturned when it comes to making sure that we can recruit the paediatricians we need and sustain the services at Pilgrim Hospital?
Rural and Urban Communities: Health and Care Needs — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): I am happy to associate myself with the comments of my hon. Friend and those of the Prime Minister. We should leave no stone unturned in making sure that we recruit enough paediatricians to support the service. I reiterate that every effort will be made to ensure that that happens.
Rural and Urban Communities: Health and Care Needs — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Questions: Scotland recruits many health professionals from overseas, and that is particularly important for the delivery of healthcare in rural areas. Does the Minister agree that Scotland needs overseas doctors and nurses? What representations has she made to the Minister for Immigration regarding the lifting of the tier 2 visa cap?; Lincoln’s walk-in centre closed a few weeks ago and Boston’s paediatric department is threatened with closure. Does the Minister agree that cuts and privatisation in our NHS are damaging staff recruitment, retention and morale? [Interruption.] Ministers can shake their heads, but it is true: there are not enough doctors at Boston, which affects A&E and wider care delivery.
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): I can add no more to what I have already said in answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Boston and Skegness (Matt Warman). We will do everything we can to make sure that we can recruit sufficient paediatricians for that hospital.

Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): The provision of community pharmacies is an important part of integrated primary care. We will continue to make sure that we direct sufficient resource to address the particular challenges caused by rural sparsity. I remind the hon. Lady of what we have already done: we spent £175 million from the Prime Minister’s challenge fund to transform GP access, and that is increasing access in areas such as North Yorkshire, Devon and Cornwall. We will continue to look into the particular challenges that rural communities face and make resources available.
NHS Dentistry: Funding Distribution — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Questions: What guidance his Department provides to NHS England on the redistribution to other healthcare areas of funding clawed back from dentists who have not met their contracted units of dental activity.
Stephen Charles Brine (Conservative, Centre-right): The Department does not issue guidance specifically to NHS England on the redistribution of funding that is recouped from dental contracts. Of course, any decisions on the provision of healthcare are rightly a matter for the local NHS, because local commissioners are best placed to assess the dental needs and priorities among their local population, including the one that the hon. Gentleman represents in Bradford.

Topic: Health
Questions: What guidance his Department provides to NHS England on the redistribution to other healthcare areas of funding clawed back from dentists who have not met their contracted units of dental activity.
Stephen Charles Brine (Conservative, Centre-right): I think that is what is known as a back-handed welcome. We have made great progress on improving access to dentistry in England, but we know that there are parts of the country, including the hon. Gentleman’s area, in which we can do more. That is why NHS England in Yorkshire and the Humber—with which I liaise on matters raised by a number of Opposition colleagues—is finalising plans to improve access to dentistry throughout the region, paying particular attention to 20 areas. Bradford East is one of those areas and, as the hon. Gentleman said, will shortly receive additional recouped funding to support his constituents.

Questions: What guidance his Department provides to NHS England on the redistribution to other healthcare areas of funding clawed back from dentists who have not met their contracted units of dental activity.
Stephen Charles Brine (Conservative, Centre-right): That goes to the heart of why we are reforming the dental contracts. Our 73 high street dental practices are continuing to test the preventive focused clinical approach to a new remuneration practice. [Interruption.] Someone on the Opposition Front Bench has just said "when" from a sedentary position. It will be when we have got it right.
GP Services: Capacity and Availability — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (Conservative, Centre-right): We want all NHS patients to be able to access appointments in the evenings and at weekends. Thanks to our programme, 40% of the population currently do so, and that will rise to 100% next October.
GP Services: Capacity and Availability — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Thomas Georg John Tugendhat (Conservative, Centre-right): Forgive me for rushing in; I was tied up with Committee matters My right hon. Friend has set out a great vision for the national health service over recent years, and I very much welcome it, but does he agree that, in local areas, some of the GP provision could do with a little more work? I am particularly thinking of West Malling in my own constituency where a large element of the community is finding it harder to get access, and there is a danger that the GP surgery may leave the high street.
GP Services: Capacity and Availability — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (Conservative, Centre-right): My hon. Friend is right to draw attention to that issue. He does have, I think, 28 more GPs in the west Kent clinical commissioning group area than in 2010, but there is a particular issue over premises. The need to invest in premises is deterring younger GPs from becoming partners, and sometimes making GP surgeries unviable. We are looking at that problem now.
GP Services: Capacity and Availability — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (Conservative, Centre-right): I do very much agree with the hon. Lady, which is why we are working hard to recruit 5,000 extra GPs into general practice in England. I gently point out to her that the Royal College of General Practitioners says that, while we spend 9.2% of the NHS budget in England on general practice, it is only 7.3% in Wales.
GP Services: Capacity and Availability — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
David Arthur Stephen Tredinnick (Conservative, Centre-right): Has my right hon. Friend had time to consider the recent Professional Standards Authority report, "Untapped Resources", of which the principal recommendation is that practitioners on PSA-accredited registers should have powers to make direct NHS referrals, which would reduce the burden on GP surgeries?
GP Services: Capacity and Availability — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (Conservative, Centre-right): I always look forward to the multiple interesting ways in which my hon. Friend returns to the same subject. We are always open to ideas that reduce pressures on GP surgeries, and I will look carefully at his latest idea.
GP Services: Capacity and Availability — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (Conservative, Centre-right): Most parts of the country would say that they need more GPs, which is why we are trying to improve the capacity across the country. So, what have we done? Well, very recently we announced six new medical schools, which will have a specific focus on attracting new students into general practice. That is one of a number of measures.
Alcohol: Minimum Unit Pricing — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Stephen Charles Brine (Conservative, Centre-right): The Government remain committed to tackling all alcohol-related harms, which is why we are developing a new alcohol strategy. As part of that, I am commissioning Public Health England to undertake a review of the evidence for minimum unit pricing in England.
Alcohol: Minimum Unit Pricing — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Stephen Charles Brine (Conservative, Centre-right): We want to get on and tackle all avoidable harms, including alcohol. The vast majority of our constituents enjoy a drink and have a healthy relationship with alcohol, but that is not the case for everybody. Some people can harm themselves, society and, as we have heard, their children. What is happening north of the border in Scotland is very welcome. I think that there will be an early evaluation there at the one-year point, and we will be watching that like a hawk.
Obesity — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Victoria Mary Boswell Prentis (Conservative, Centre-right): I recently met my constituent, Professor John Wass, at an Obesity Health Alliance tea, where—the Secretary of State will be pleased to know—no cake was served. Professor Wass shares my concerns about the availability of hospital services for those with established obesity. Will my right hon. Friend set out what plans his Department has to treat those who are already obese?
Obesity — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (Conservative, Centre-right): We recognise the value of bariatric surgery, which is of course subject to the normal waiting time standards for those for whom it is appropriate. However, prevention is better than cure. That is why we are hoping to bring forward shortly further measures to tackle childhood obesity, which is one of our biggest concerns.
Obesity — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (Conservative, Centre-right): I am happy to give the project my wholehearted support. If we are going to tackle obesity, we need an approach that goes across all Departments of Government, including local government, and this initiative sounds excellent. The Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, my hon. Friend the Member for Winchester (Steve Brine), will be looking into the funding.
Obesity — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Kevin Paul Hollinrake (Conservative, Centre-right): Lambert Hospital in Thirsk was bequeathed to the town by Sara Lambert in 1890, and was closed via the back door by South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust last year. NHS Property Services is planning a sell-off to the highest bidder, despite the fair offer that is on the table from the local authority which could include provision for community use such as public health advice. Does my right hon. Friend agree that there are times when value to the public might outweigh the requirement to maximise a price?
Obesity — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (Conservative, Centre-right): That is one of a number of measures that we are looking at. We are absolutely determined to do something about this. One in 10 children starts school obese, and by the time they leave primary school the figure is one in five. We cannot wait any longer.
Stroke Patients: Health Outcomes — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Stephen Charles Brine (Conservative, Centre-right): Evidence from cities such as Manchester and London is very clear that centralising stroke treatment in hyper-acute stroke units considerably improves outcomes, with patients having access to a specialist at all times and immediate access to imaging and investigative facilities, giving them the best chances in terms of outcome.
Stroke Patients: Health Outcomes — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Stephen Charles Brine (Conservative, Centre-right): I cannot comment on the individual case, but I can say that NHS England and we at the Department are working closely with the Stroke Association to develop a new national plan for stroke in England which we expect to publish this summer. The hon. Lady’s constituents and mine will benefit from the national policy narrative, but they will also benefit from some brilliant charities that work on the ground with constituents. Yesterday, I saw Chandlers Ford Stroke Support Group at the amazing Funtasia in my constituency. That group does a lot to support people in stroke as well.
Stroke Patients: Health Outcomes — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Rachel Helen Maclean (Conservative, Centre-right): In Worcestershire, we are fortunate to have some excellent stroke services serving my constituents across the whole county. Does the Secretary of State agree that the most important aspect of any service is leadership? With that in mind, will he update the House on his progress in appointing a new chair for our trust to deliver stroke services and other services to Redditch?
Stroke Patients: Health Outcomes — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Stephen Charles Brine (Conservative, Centre-right): The new ambulance standards are designed to do exactly that. I note the hon. Lady’s welcome for that in her area. That is critical, but of course it is critical that people get to the right place and get the right treatment. That is why I said at the start of these exchanges that centralising stroke treatment is not always popular but is often the best thing for clinical outcomes.
NHS Dentistry — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Stephen Charles Brine (Conservative, Centre-right): Access to NHS dentistry remains consistently high. The most recent figures show that 22 million adults were seen by an NHS dentist in the 24 months from January ’16 to Christmas last year and 6.9 million children visited a dentist last year.
NHS Dentistry — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Stephen Charles Brine (Conservative, Centre-right): We have been in correspondence about the Queensway practice, as the hon. Gentleman knows. When a dental contract ends and patients need to find another dentist, NHS England has a legal duty, as he knows, to commission alternative services to meet local need. I understand that that is happening in his area and that he is being kept regularly updated on the situation. In answer to a previous question, I mentioned the dental contract, which is a key part of our reforms to keep people in, and attract people into, the dental profession.
NHS Dentistry — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Stephen Charles Brine (Conservative, Centre-right): As I said, NHS England has a legal duty to commission dental services and primary care dental services for the hon. Lady’s constituents. If she wants to bring a specific example from her constituency to me, I will be happy to look at it.
Social Media: Children’s Mental Health — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (Conservative, Centre-right): We are worried about the effects of social media on children and young people, which is why we have asked the chief medical officer to undertake a systematic review of all the international literature, to help us understand what further steps to take.
Social Media: Children’s Mental Health — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
James Morris (Conservative, Centre-right): I recently met a group of headteachers in Halesowen, who expressed real concern about the effects of social media on the health of their pupils. Does the Secretary of State agree that peer-to-peer support among young people in the classroom and in our communities is a vital way of benefiting young people through the positive aspects of social media and combating the negative effects on their mental health?
Social Media: Children’s Mental Health — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (Conservative, Centre-right): My hon. Friend is very knowledgeable about mental health, and I totally agree with him. That is why we have given £700,000 to the Anna Freud Centre to train teachers in how to make possible peer support for children having mental health issues.
Social Media: Children’s Mental Health — House of Commons, 2018-05-08
Topic: Health
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (Conservative, Centre-right): What we actually now have is a record number of children in good or outstanding schools—nearly 2 million more children. That is something we all want for our children, but when it comes to mental health, the NHS has very specific responsibilities, and we of course look into every possible cause.
