  • Devolution: What It Means for Health and Social Care in England
    Devolution: what it means for health and social care in England Devolution of powers and funds from central down to local government has emerged as one of this government’s flagship policies. The notion of devolving health care was not core to the original devolution agenda, which focused on driving local economic growth. The inclusion of health and social care in the so-called ‘Devo Manc’ agreement announced in November last year therefore came as a surprise to many. Along with powers over housing, skills and transport, the landmark deal between the Treasury and Greater Manchester paves the way for the councils and NHS in Greater Manchester to take control of the region’s £6 billion health and social care budget. Ahead of further devolution deals expected to be announced as part of the Spending Review 2015, this briefing describes the origins of the devolution agenda and charts its progress in relation to health and social care. Before drawing some broad conclusions, the penultimate section explores some of the key policy and implementation questions that remain unresolved. Alongside secondary research, this paper is built on insights captured at events held at The King’s Fund as well as a series of conversations with representatives from various national bodies, think tanks and local areas involved in devolution, for which we are immensely grateful. What’s happening and how did we get here? A potted history of devolution and centralisation in England Over the past 150 years, there has been a tendency for UK governments to centralise power. The result is a UK system that is one of the most centralised of all countries belonging to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD); 75 per cent of tax revenues were raised centrally in 2012 (OECD 2014), and in 2014 just under 25 per cent of public expenditure was by local government (OECD 2015).

  • Response from NHS Digital
    1 Trevelyan Square Boar Lane Leeds LS1 6AE FAO: Joanne Andrews North East Kent Coroners Cantium House Country Hall Sandling Road Maidstone Kent ME14 1XD By Email Only: [email protected] Your ref: Our ref: 4 February 2021 Dear Ms Andrews Inquest into the death of Mr Ronald Richard Tilley I am writing in response to the Regulation 28 report received from HM Coroner dated 4 December 2020. This follows the death of Ronald Richard Tilley, who sadly died on 23 October 2019. This was followed by an investigation and inquest which concluded on 29 October 2020. I would like to express my sincerest condolences to Mr Tilley’s family. NHS Digital provided written statements in advance of the inquest, but did not attend the inquest. NHS Digital is a non-departmental public body created by the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and is the national information and technology partner for the health and care system. We use technology to support the NHS and social care. NHS Digital operates and maintains the Personal Demographics Service (‘PDS’) under the Spine Services No.2 Directions issued by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to maintain a register of NHS patients in England. PDS is the national electronic database of NHS patient details such as name, address, date of birth and NHS Number (known as demographic data). It also records the primary care registration (i.e. the GP practice with which the patient is registered for general medical services1) held by each registered patient and as notified through other NHS systems.

  • Memorandum of Understanding Between Public Health England and the Care Quality Commission
    Memorandum of Understanding between Public Health England and the Care Quality Commission INTRODUCTION 1. This Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) sets out the framework for the working relationship between Public Health England (PHE) and the Care Quality Commission (CQC). 2. PHE and the CQC recognise that there is a distinct and unique relationship between the two organisations. Accordingly the framework set out in this MoU takes account of that relationship and details ways in which PHE and the CQC will work together and alongside one another in delivering their respective statutory functions. The MoU is intended to communicate clearly and unambiguously that PHE and the CQC will work together where relevant and appropriate to do so. 3. PHE and the CQC recognise their respective statutory responsibilities and organisational status, but will always seek to collaborate and cooperate when relevant and appropriate to do so in delivering their core functions. 4. This MoU cannot override the statutory duties and powers of either PHE or the CQC and is not enforceable in law. However, PHE and the CQC agree to adhere to the principles set out in this MoU and will show proper regard for each other’s activities. 5. The MoU sets out principles that PHE and the CQC will follow in the course of day-to-day working relationships. The MoU may need to be supported by protocols and other documents not included here which set out in more detail operational considerations of how PHE and the CQC will work together. Statutory Responsibilities of PHE and the CQC 6. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) was established under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (HSCA) and is responsible for the regulation of the quality of health and social care services.

  • The Health Care Workforce in England
    The health care workforce in England Make or break? November 2018 Summary In advance of the publication of the NHS long-term plan, this briefing highlights the scale of workforce challenges now facing the health service and the threat this poses to the delivery and quality of care over the next 10 years. It sets out the reasons why the long-term plan and supporting workforce strategy must address the urgent and mounting challenges facing the health care workforce. This briefing will be followed in the coming weeks by a more in-depth report that explores five key levers available nationally and locally that could help ameliorate the workforce crisis affecting both health and social care. Key messages • The workforce challenges in the NHS in England now present a greater threat to health services than the funding challenges. • Across NHS trusts there is a shortage of more than 100,000 staff. Based on current trends, we project that the gap between staff needed and the number available could reach almost 250,000 by 2030. If the emerging trend of staff leaving the workforce early continues and the pipeline of newly trained staff and international recruits does not rise sufficiently, this number could be more than 350,000 by 2030. • The current shortages are due to a number of factors, including the fragmentation of responsibility for workforce issues at a national level; poor workforce planning; cuts in funding for training places; restrictive immigration policies exacerbated by Brexit; and worryingly high numbers of doctors and nurses leaving their jobs early. • Central investment in education and training has dropped from 5% of health spending in 2006/7 to 3% in 2018/19.
