To ask Her Majesty’s Government what statistical data is kept centrally by the Department of Health on the numbers and specialisations of agency staff employed and engaged by the NHS Trusts in England and Wales.
The Department does not collect data on the numbers or specialisations of agency staff employed and engaged by National Health Service Trusts in England. Health is a devolved matter and therefore we do not hold or collect data for Wales.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Howe on 31 March (WA 157), what are the recognised exceptional circumstances in which NHS hospitals are able to breach requirements for the separation of NHS and privately-funded care beds on NHS wards. [HL6555]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Howe on 31 March (WA 157), what are the recognised exceptional circumstances in which NHS hospitals are able to breach requirements for the separation of NHS and privately-funded care beds on NHS wards. [HL6555]
It is a matter for National Health Service clinicians to decide the circumstances in which NHS hospitals are able to breach requirements for the separation of NHS and privately-funded care beds. Exceptional circumstances are ones in which concerns for patient safety override the requirement for separation. For example, if moving a patient would endanger their life.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Howe on 31 March (WA 157), what information they hold nationally or at local level on breaches of the requirement for the separation of NHS and privately-funded care beds in NHS wards in NHS hospitals.[HL6556]

Information on the breaches of the requirement to separate National Health Service and privately-funded care in NHS hospitals is not held nationally. At a local level NHS England expects providers to keep records of NHS patients who have also received parallel private treatment to ensure there is no NHS subsidy of the private care.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government in what circumstances private patients awaiting or receiving treatment are accommodated in the same wards as National Health Service patients, in National Health Service wards in National Health Service hospitals. [HL6321]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government in what circumstances private patients awaiting or receiving treatment are accommodated in the same wards as National Health Service patients, in National Health Service wards in National Health Service hospitals. [HL6321]
National Health Service hospitals must ensure that private and NHS care are kept as clearly separate as possible. Any privately funded care must be provided by an NHS trust at a different time and place from NHS commissioned care except in exceptional circumstances such as when doing so would endanger patient safety.
If the appeal is to NHS England or the commissioning groups, does that mean that they have the right to overrule the decision that has been taken by NICE?
If the appeal is to NHS England or the commissioning groups, does that mean that they have the right to overrule the decision that has been taken by NICE?
My Lords, patients have a right under the NHS constitution to access clinically appropriate drugs and treatments recommended by NICE technology appraisals. That is a legal right. If a prescriber has failed to adhere to that, a clinical commissioning
group is bound to find in the patient’s favour. However, there are clearly individual circumstances for each case that need to be looked at. The key is that the patient is entitled to expect a transparent and fair process where the reasons for a decision are published.
In light of what the Minister said before, are we being assured therefore that age and gender will not be given priority over gross health inequalities and needs in areas of social deprivation, such as in the north of England? If that is not the case, surely the principles on which the National Health Service was created are being undermined.

If that is not the case, surely the principles on which the National Health Service was created are being undermined.
My Lords, age is and has always been, in the formula, the primary driver of an individual’s need for health services. The very young and elderly, whose populations are not evenly distributed throughout the country, tend to make more use of health services than the rest of the population. Having said that, the formula contains elements relating to unavoidable differences in the costs of providing services due to location alone—that is, the market forces factor—and a number of other measures of adjustment. As I say, we are assured by NHS England that deprivation will feature in the formula that is published for next year.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what were the total legal costs incurred by the National Health Service in connection with the Mental Health Tribunal for Ian Brady.[HL2123]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what were the total legal costs incurred by the National Health Service in connection with the Mental Health Tribunal for Ian Brady.[HL2123]
The Mental Health Tribunal is part of the legal system and patients detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 are entitled to one at least every three years. Patients are entitled to legal representation. The trust is also legally represented.
The total legal costs incurred by Mersey Care NHS Trust in connection with the Mental Health Tribunal for Ian Brady amounted to £181,699.75.
All decisions around the procurement of legal advice are made by Mersey Care NHS Trust.
What about the living wage?
What about the living wage?
I am not sure what the noble Lord’s question about the living wage implies. I answered a question about the minimum wage, which is what the law entails. It is of course up to employers to ensure that they pay their employees in a way that is not derisory and that reflects the value of the work that they do.
