Personal Independence Payments: Supreme Court Ruling — House of Commons, 2019-07-23
Topic: Health
Justin Paul Tomlinson (Conservative, Centre-right): I have gone from being the Secretary of State to potentially not having a job in the next couple of days in the space of one question, but I will look at that letter carefully. I actually agree with the hon. Lady’s point that we want the right decision the first time. We want claimants to be able to access the crucial medical evidence that can assist with assessments. Assessments are right more often than not, and only a small percentage of claims ultimately need to be appealed, but we need to learn lessons wherever there are mistakes, and I will take that case seriously.
Personal Independence Payments: Supreme Court Ruling — House of Commons, 2019-07-23
Topic: Health
Justin Paul Tomlinson (Conservative, Centre-right): The hon. Lady refers to the mental health estimates, which were done before the final guidance was implemented. We have consulted with Mind and other key stakeholders on the revised guidance, and we will continue to ensure that those who are entitled to additional support get it as quickly as possible. We are on track to complete that work by next year, as initially set out.
Decriminalisation of Abortion — House of Commons, 2019-07-23
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): My hon. Friend reminds us that this is not always an easy process for women to go through. As with any medical procedure, full consent must be given, based on full information. As long as pills can be accessed via the internet rather than via medical professionals, it is clearly more likely that women will not be informed of the risks of taking the pills. Any medication can have risks and consequences, and women need to be fully advised so that they can manage what they are going through.
Decriminalisation of Abortion — House of Commons, 2019-07-23
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): I am very aware that this issue rouses passions on both sides of the argument, which is why I reassure the House that, from my perspective, I just want to make sure that I deliver Parliament’s instructions in a way that is safe. I should add that perhaps the way in which both sides of the argument have been debated in the House has not led to good law-making, because it has meant that the law has not been revisited in 50 years and has not kept pace with medical advancement.
Decriminalisation of Abortion — House of Commons, 2019-07-23
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): At the risk of being flippant, obviously I can only relay the policy given to me by the Home Office. I can give the hon. Lady my views on how we best keep patients safe, but clearly, when it comes down to it, how Parliament decides to manage such issues is a matter for Parliament; the Government and I as a Minister will do as instructed.
Body Image and Mental Health — House of Commons, 2019-07-23
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): I beg to move, That this House has considered body image and mental health I am delighted to open this debate on this very important matter about which a number of parliamentary colleagues are showing increasing concern. How we think and feel about our bodies can affect any one of us at any point in our lives. I am sure I am not alone in not liking my body shape and in wanting to lose more weight. Frankly, we know there is no magic route to that. We just need to eat less and drink more—[Laughter.] I should say: eat less, drink less and exercise more. Too often, however, people are seduced into seeking body shapes that are less than attainable. While for most of us that is an aspiration, for some people it becomes uncomfortable and an obsession that does them no good This is a particular issue today, because the pressure on people, especially young people, to achieve an idealised image is everywhere. Often, the images that people are being subjected to are unattainable because those images have been airbrushed and touched up. Those shapes are really not what any normal person could begin to achieve.
Body Image and Mental Health — House of Commons, 2019-07-23
Topic: Health
Jacqueline Doyle-Price (Conservative, Centre-right): I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for amplifying that point, because we must do that. We give very clear indications that we expect the NMC and the GMC to deal with this. However, we must also send a message to people out there that people will get these adverts about how to become a dispenser of dermal fillers and think that that is all they need to do, having no idea that they are committing a criminal offence. We need to educate them as well I will end there, because, as I say, I feel like I have been the Government at the Dispatch Box today. I look forward to continuing discussions with all Members present, who I know care very deeply about this. It is something that we really must tackle as a matter of urgency Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered body image and mental health.
Lower Limb Wound Care — House of Commons, 2019-07-23
Topic: Health
Caroline Julia Dinenage (Conservative, Centre-right): Yes. We do not discriminate. We are keen to talk to everyone to get the best possible learning so that patients up and down the country can benefit from all the expertise that is available In thanking the right hon. Member for Cynon Valley for making the supreme effort to be here today, I reassure her that both the Government and the NHS recognise the importance of ensuring that patients have access to high-quality lower limb wound care and will continue to support the work of the national wound care strategy programme for England on improving the quality of wound care, including lower limb wound care, in the country. I thank her once again for being here to make her case so incredibly powerfully. I wish her a speedy recovery and send her all our love from this House.
Hearing Aids — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Caroline Julia Dinenage (Conservative, Centre-right): In 2018, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence issued new guidance called "Hearing loss in adults: assessment and management", which aims to improve hearing loss services, including the provision of hearing aids. The guidance brings together evidence, standards, guidance and case studies to encourage best practice across England.
Hearing Aids — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
David Thomas Charles Davies (Conservative, Centre-right): Does my hon. Friend agree that we in England have been cutting waiting times for hearing aids by using private companies such as Specsavers, and that that demonstrates a huge difference between privatising the NHS, which this Conservative party would never, ever support, and using private companies to provide a first-rate health service free at the point of use?
Hearing Aids — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Caroline Julia Dinenage (Conservative, Centre-right): My hon. Friend hits the nail on the head. We are absolutely committed to the principle of an NHS that is free at the point of use, but the NHS has, under successive Governments, commissioned care from the private sector to ensure that patients receive the treatment that they need as quickly, safely and near to home as possible. All NHS healthcare, irrespective of how it is provided, must be of the highest possible quality and improve outcomes.
Hearing Aids — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Caroline Julia Dinenage (Conservative, Centre-right): The hon. Lady is absolutely to raise that. CCGs are responsible for the commissioning of NHS audiology services, including the provision of hearing aids. We expect all CCGs to have regard to the NICE clinical guidance when commissioning services for their local population.
Hearing Aids — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Caroline Julia Dinenage (Conservative, Centre-right): The hon. Gentleman is right to raise this. As I said in my first answer, it is important that we can work collaboratively with organisations in the private sector and across the NHS to make sure that patients, wherever they are in the country, in urban or rural areas, can access the right care and support when they need it.
Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Questions: How much capital funding he plans to allocate to Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust in each of the next three years.
Edward John Comport Argar (Conservative, Centre-right): In addition to business-as-usual capital budgets, I am delighted that, as the right hon. Gentleman will be aware, his hospital trust will benefit from a significant part of the £2.7 billion capital funding under the health infrastructure plan—HIP 1—our deeply ambitious hospital building programme.
Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Questions: How much capital funding he plans to allocate to Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust in each of the next three years.
Paul Stuart Scully (Conservative, Centre-right): I would like to correct the record, in that my predecessor, Paul Burstow, mentioned before the 2015 election that he regretted the withdrawal of that money Does the Minister agree that, in giving us the money that we need for the Epsom and St Helier Trust, it is right to reward a plan that finally will save St Helier without using it as a political football and will improve health outcomes in a brand-new building that we can be proud to have in Sutton?
Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Questions: How much capital funding he plans to allocate to Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust in each of the next three years.
Edward John Comport Argar (Conservative, Centre-right): The hon. Lady will know that the plans that will be brought forward will be clinically led and delivered and constructed by the trust itself, so I would encourage her to engage with the trust and with neighbouring trusts, but surely she would welcome this significant investment by the Government in her health infrastructure.
Cystic Fibrosis Drugs — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Matthew John David Hancock (Conservative, Centre-right): I am delighted that a deal has been agreed to provide Orkambi and other cystic fibrosis drugs on the NHS. This deal is great value for the NHS and backed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, but crucially it will improve thousands of lives. My heartfelt thanks go out to many campaigners from right across the House who have pushed this agenda but especially to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the patients who, along with their families, have bravely campaigned against this devastating disease. I am thrilled that we can make this progress.
Cystic Fibrosis Drugs — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Matthew John David Hancock (Conservative, Centre-right): Of course I would have liked the deal to happen sooner, but I am glad that the company has now committed itself to engage properly in the normal processes which mean that we obtain drugs nearly as fast as any country in the world. This result—this deal—shows that the system is working to get cutting-edge drugs into the NHS at good value for the NHS pound I join the hon. Gentleman in paying tribute to the hon. Member for Dudley North (Ian Austin). I also pay tribute to the hon. Member for Bristol East (Kerry McCarthy), and to other Members in all parts of the House who have campaigned on this issue. It is great to have made some progress.
Cystic Fibrosis Drugs — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Matthew John David Hancock (Conservative, Centre-right): The agreement that the hon. Lady’s Government—the UK Government—reached with Vertex means that this drug will be available in Wales and Northern Ireland as well. It is true that Scotland chose to go it alone and as a result has not received such good value for money, but what really matters is that the drug is now available throughout the United Kingdom.
Cystic Fibrosis Drugs — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Abimbola Afolami (Conservative, Centre-right): Will the Secretary of State pay tribute to campaigners in my constituency such as Matthew Dixon-Dyer, who campaigned very strongly and lobbied me very effectively? Will he also illuminate the House on how, in future, we can have smoother access to drugs such as Orkambi on the NHS?
Cystic Fibrosis Drugs — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Matthew John David Hancock (Conservative, Centre-right): My hon. Friend has campaigned long and hard and has talked to me an awful lot about how important it has been to obtain Orkambi and the other cystic fibrosis drugs that will save lives, and I pay tribute to his campaigning. As I have said, we now have a system that allows access to drugs for the NHS at some of the best value in the world, and that system is working. It is clearly getting the drugs that are needed into the NHS, and I think that we should all get behind it.
Cystic Fibrosis Drugs — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Victoria Grace Ford (Conservative, Centre-right): Children and their families throughout the UK will be saying a huge thank you for Orkambi. Will my right hon. Friend now turn his attention to phenylketonuria, or PKU, and the drug Kuvan, so that children like my constituent Cait, who is now 11, do not need to wait any longer?
Cystic Fibrosis Drugs — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Matthew John David Hancock (Conservative, Centre-right): The NHS is off the table in trade talks and pharmaceutical pricing is off the table, and transparency over pharmaceutical pricing would not benefit this country at all because we get the best deals in the world because we can keep them confidential, so it is a slight surprise to hear a Labour Member argue for what would effectively lead to higher prices for drugs in the NHS. Instead, we will protect the NHS.
Genomics — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Johanna Peta Churchill (Conservative, Centre-right): We are world leading in genomics and should celebrate that. A recent trial at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge provided whole genome sequencing, identifying underlying genetic conditions for babies and children in intensive care. As a result, three quarters of those young patients received changes to their care. The NHS genomic service is working to embed genomics in routine healthcare. Later this year, the national genomic healthcare strategy will set out the ambitious programme for the next 10 years.
Genomics — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Johanna Peta Churchill (Conservative, Centre-right): Patients who need a genomic test from the national genomic test directory will be referred to the NHS genomic medicine service. However, I recognise that some patients may contact their GP for advice after taking a commercial test. NHS England is working with partners to ensure that GPs receive training to help them respond correctly. Public Health England and the National Screening Committee have also published guidance on private screening.
Genomics — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Johanna Peta Churchill (Conservative, Centre-right): Clinicians should be in charge of the process, and I have been assured that the change, using genomic testing, is better for patients and better for outcomes, but I would of course be happy to meet the hon. Gentleman and discuss it further.
Genomics — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
David Michael Davis (Conservative, Centre-right): I commend the Minister for the progressive approach the Government have taken to genomics, but for a large number of genetic diseases the symptoms do not manifest themselves until after developmental damage has been done. Will the Government consider whether we should extend genomic testing to all neonates—all newborns—at some point in the future?
Genomics — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Johanna Peta Churchill (Conservative, Centre-right): As the hon. Lady knows, because we have worked together on this agenda, it is never about selling the product; it is about better patient care and ensuring that we get technology to the patient as speedily as we can for better and appropriate diagnosis.
Bedrolite — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Matthew John David Hancock (Conservative, Centre-right): We have changed the law so that specialist doctors on the GMC’s specialist register can now prescribe cannabis-based products. I have asked the NHS to undertake a rapid review of how this is working, and my Department is now working with delivery partners to implement the report’s recommendations.
Bedrolite — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Matthew John David Hancock (Conservative, Centre-right): I am very happy to meet my hon. Friend and colleagues from the MS Society. She is right to say that we need to ensure we get the evidence that the clinicians understandably want, and in fact we have committed public funds, through the National Institute for Health Research, to establish clinical trials to develop that evidence base.
End-of-life Care — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Caroline Julia Dinenage (Conservative, Centre-right): We are absolutely committed to supporting end-of-life care, not only through £4.5 billion-worth of investment in primary and community services but through providing an additional £25 million to palliative care and hospices in 2019-20. Today, I am in a position to announce how the geographical spending of that money will be allocated, and I will be putting the regional breakdown in the Libraries of both Houses this afternoon.
End-of-life Care — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Caroline Julia Dinenage (Conservative, Centre-right): We care passionately about the way in which children’s palliative care is delivered. That is why we have increased the children’s hospice grant from £12 million this year to £25 million in 2023-24. We have also seen a nearly 50% increase in doctors working in palliative care medicine since 2010, but the interim NHS people plan will set out actions to meet the challenges of workforce supply and demand.
End-of-life Care — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Caroline Julia Dinenage (Conservative, Centre-right): The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right to raise this matter, and I know that he is meeting the Minister for Health, my hon. Friend the Member for Charnwood (Edward Argar), shortly to discuss the details of that individual case. More broadly, the long-term planned commitment to spend that additional £4.5 billion- worth of investment in primary and community health services will definitely help those services to be delivered much closer to people’s homes.
End-of-life Care — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Huw William Merriman (Conservative, Centre-right): Hospice in the Weald is building the UK’s first cottage hospice, and I viewed it on Friday. It allows family members to care for and stay with their loved ones until the end of their life, and it is absolutely fantastic. The cottage hospice is looking for a Minister to come and open it. I know that there is an election coming, but will a Minister from the winning Front Bench come and do that honour for us in East Sussex?
Mental Health Services — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Nadine Vanessa Dorries (Conservative, Centre-right): By 2023, an additional £2.3 billion a year will flow into mental health services across England. Our long-term plan for that increased investment will ensure that more adults, children and young people than ever before are able to get mental health support when they need it. Increased funding will also support further improvements in quality of care and patient experience.
Mental Health Services — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
James Roger Cartlidge (Conservative, Centre-right): I welcome my hon. Friend to her position. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State will be more than familiar with the long-running problems at the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, which is our county’s main mental health trust. There is a huge effort to try to improve it, but I know from constituency cases that significant problems still exist. Will Ministers update us on what progress they think has been made at NSFT?
Mental Health Services — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Nadine Vanessa Dorries (Conservative, Centre-right): My hon. Friend works tirelessly on his constituents’ behalf. In fact, I think I am meeting some of his constituents tomorrow. I will look into the issues he raises, but the trust has been working since May 2018 on delivering the immediate improvements suggested by the Care Quality Commission, and leadership support has been provided by East London NHS Foundation Trust. I promise to look into the situation to see where the trust is at this point and what improvements have been made, and I may have that information to feed back to him tomorrow.
Mental Health Services — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Nadine Vanessa Dorries (Conservative, Centre-right): We are looking into that. Perinatal support is provided to women across the UK. We have been pushing this from the Department. The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right that this is a time in a woman’s life when she may suffer from poor mental health or a mental health condition that is directly related to her pregnancy, and that is when women need support most. We are looking into this, we are pushing this and we are looking into providing that, hopefully as part of the GP contract.
Mental Health Services — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Nadine Vanessa Dorries (Conservative, Centre-right): That is a big question because it covers two areas. This Government have invested £2.3 billion in mental health services, a huge amount of which is to go into salaries, to deliver community health services where they are needed: close to patients and to their relatives and families. It is also to provide community health teams and support teams in schools for young people. Clinical commissioning groups are under an obligation to provide those mental health services with the set funding. If the hon. Lady would like to meet to hear more about that, I will be happy to discuss it with her.
Mental Health Services — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt (Conservative, Centre-right): As this is your last Health questions, Mr Speaker, may I thank you for your many years of campaigning for speech and language therapy for children? It has given great hope to many families in a situation similar to your own On the issue of early intervention, given that half of all mental health conditions are established before the age of 14, does the Minister, who is passionate about this, agree that mental health provision in schools is essential? Will she update the House on progress towards the 2023 objective of a quarter of schools having a mental health lead?
Mental Health Services — House of Commons, 2019-10-29
Topic: Health
Nadine Vanessa Dorries (Conservative, Centre-right): I thank my right hon. Friend for his question and for his work as Secretary of State. He was the longest-serving Secretary of State for Health ever, and he is passionately interested in this subject, too. Yes, we are on track—in fact, we are more than on track—to meet our objective of 25% of schools being covered by a school mental health support team by 2023-24 The school mental health support teams have been launched in trailblazer areas, and I visited one a few weeks ago at Springwest Academy in Hounslow to see the amazing work the teams are doing with young children. The teams are teaching coping strategies and identifying mental health problems as they arise very early in life, which helps children to deal with those mental health problems now and into adulthood. We are on track and we hope to meet that objective.
