Did you mean ccgs?
Lia Nici: ...In fact, it has the potential to slow the whole process down. If I understand it correctly, a private Member’s Bill cannot bring forward any money resolutions. What we need here is money, and for CCG and NHS processes to be working properly. We do not need primary legislation to do exactly what hon. Members across the House want. We just need to get on with it via the NHS and CCGs.
Wes Streeting: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent estimate his Department has made of the number of people registered with North East London CCG who have had to wait longer than two weeks for a hospital appointment following an urgent cancer diagnosis referral in each of the last five years.
Baroness Thornton: My Lords, first, I declare my interest as a non-executive member of a hospital trust in London; indeed, my chair is in the Chamber. I was also on a CCG for three years and it got absorbed into its local ICS, so I have lived this story, too. I thank noble Lords for a debate that has done as much justice to this Bill as time has allowed. I congratulate the noble Lord, Lord Stevens, who is much...
Baroness Brinton: ...centres. He wrote to her after the Question, confirming that GPs have a duty to offer vaccines to the housebound. He went on to say: “If there are no GP practices signed up to phase 3, the CCG will make these alternative arrangements instead.” Today’s Daily Telegraph talks about more than 300,000 people—more than two-thirds of the housebound—having yet to receive their booster...
Maggie Throup: ...olds and those in at-risk groups having received at least one dose, 92.6% a second dose and 60.2% a booster, as of 26 November 2021. Herefordshire and Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is ensuring it has the staff and volunteer capacity available to deliver additional vaccine appointments to meet demand. This includes a recruitment campaign for trained clinical staff to...
Mark Pritchard: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will (a) hold discussions with Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin CCG on extending the provision of GPs services in Shifnal and (b) agree a timetable for the completion of the proposed new GP surgery in Shifnal.
Gillian Keegan: Existing legislation already sets out the responsibilities of clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in relation to arranging NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) services for an individual. This includes which CCG is responsible for a patient and ensuring appropriate care arrangements are considered for those who may have moved to a different area. The National Framework for NHS Continuing...
Charles Walker: ...do apologise. We also had Dr Jane Halpin, joint CEO of Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Systems and clinical commissioning groups. I must also give a special mention to Sally Orr of the CCG and Andy Lawrence, Hertfordshire County Council’s lead for social care. Now, why are all those names important? Because the point of my right hon. Friend’s Bill is to bring services...
Maria Caulfield: ...available data shows that as at 30 September 2021, there were 847 full time equivalent doctors in general practice working in the Black Country and West Birmingham Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). This CCG was established on 1 April 2021 following the merger of Dudley CCG, Sandwell and West Birmingham CCG, Walsall CCG and Wolverhampton CCG. The data is not held for Walsall South as...
Baroness Bakewell: ...many millions of dollars in fines for 174 contract-related offences across the States, so will Her Majesty’s Government forbid the appointment of Centene-related staff and former staff to NHS CCG boards and their sub-committees?
Gillian Keegan: The majority of services for people with Tourette’s syndrome are commissioned locally by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), who are best placed to plan the provision of services subject to local prioritisation and funding. Decisions on how to improve referral pathways and diagnostic rates for Tourette’s syndrome will vary across individual CCGs located in the Yorkshire and Humber...
Lucy Frazer: ...to give a sense of scale. In the financial year 2020-21, HMRC delivered a total of £30.4 billion of compliance yield with an expenditure of £1,166.5 million on Customer Compliance Group (CCG). CCG brings in the majority, but not all, of compliance yield. The equivalent figures for the financial year 2019-20 were £36.9 billion of yield for a net expenditure of £1,192.2 million. As...
Gordon Henderson: I think the Minister has been misled by my local CCG. I can tell her that all the GPs in my area are oversubscribed and people are finding it very difficult to get an appointment with their GP, even including a virtual appointment. Indeed, some patients struggle even to speak to a receptionist, because the phones are engaged for hours on end. I understand that the NHS is planning to give GPs...
Maria Caulfield: Local commissioners are responsible for meeting the health needs of their local population and should continue to ensure appropriate access to ear wax services. However, should a CCG not routinely commission ear wax removal or the suction method that my hon. Friend refers to, a patient can request an individual funding request. I am happy to help my hon. Friend if that is not happening locally.
Anne Marie Morris: ...2016-17. Of that, £2.3 billion was the cost to the health service. We know that 23% of those who are at risk attend A&E, and yet nothing happens. I am fortunate that in Devon we have a pilot. My CCG is the only one in the country to have a dedicated individual on the board who specifically oversees and sets a dedicated strategy on this issue. The estimate from the pilot so far reckons...
Maria Caulfield: ...% of the total in Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP) and 50,000 or 29% of the total in Stockport Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). Nationally, 25% of appointments with GPs were face-to-face in September 2021. The number of appointments recorded in practices overall was 2,082,230 or 59.2% of the total in the North West...
Edward Argar: ...support to support patients earlier, at a time when they may be worried about receiving a potentially life-changing—or, tragically in some cases, life-ending—diagnosis. Herts Valleys CCG is developing services for patients with non-specific symptoms that could indicate cancer—for example, a 12-month pilot of a primary care-led vague symptoms pathway, with direct access to CT...
John Mason: Will the minister join me in congratulating West of Scotland Housing Association, CCG and hub West Scotland on the passivhaus development at Parkhead, which I believe is the largest in Glasgow so far and will mean high standards of insulation and ventilation and keep heating costs to a minimum?
Maria Caulfield: ...to general practice for patients and more support for staff to provide a wider range of care options for patients outside of hospital. Coventry and Warwickshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) continues to work closely with individual practices to support them in managing current and ongoing pressures. The CCG has also submitted bids to NHS England for £4.4 million from the...
Rachael Maskell: ...attempted suicide. The numbers are rising fast. This is an epidemic, and we need the Government to shift resources now to get a grip on what is happening. It is unforgivable that the Vale of York CCG budget for child mental health is so limited and that just 0.8% of its overall budget is spent on child mental health—just £55 per child. Children wait 39 weeks for their first contact with...
