To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether funding is available to enable children and young people to access bionic prosthetics as of 27 March 2023.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether funding is available to enable children and young people to access bionic prosthetics as of 27 March 2023.
In October 2022, NHS England published a clinical commissioning policy for multi-grip upper limbs, which can be found at the following link: https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/clinical-commissioning-policy-multi-grip-prosthetic-hand-all-ages/
This supports the provision of multi-grip upper limbs for both adults and children, where clinically appropriate. Microprocessor lower limbs are not routinely available for children and young people due to the length of the residual limb and their ability to tolerate the weight of a microprocessor-controlled knee.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent estimate he has made of the number of people who have bionic limbs, by age.

That this House is concerned with the current prosthetic service, especially for upper limb amputees; notes the incredible skills and efforts of those working within the NHS but believes that the Government should be doing more to actively fund and support research and development into the use and supply of bionic limbs, including for people with life-altering injuries and deficiencies to their upper limbs; and calls on the Government to support the NHS England Prosthetics Service Review and the estimated 55,000-60,0000 prosthetic patients a year to access the best, most appropriate technology and that funding Hero Arms, a relatively low-cost lightweight bionic arm with multiple grips on the NHS will allow people with otherwise limited or no use of limbs to live a more independent life which would mean less reliability on social services.

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the NHS Accelerated Access Collaborative has supported new types of socket for prosthetic limbs.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the NHS Accelerated Access Collaborative has supported new types of socket for prosthetic limbs.
Whilst the Accelerated Access Collaborative (AAC) has not directly provided support specifically for new types of socket for prosthetic limbs to date, partners of the AAC have provided support in this area, including through the Small Business Research Initiative.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the NHS England review of prosthetic services has been completed; and if so, when the findings of this review will be published.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the NHS England review of prosthetic services has been completed; and if so, when the findings of this review will be published.
The review of prosthetic services was paused in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The review has now been restarted with the first meeting held at the beginning of October 2020. We expect that the revised service specification will be available for public consultation in December this year with the aim of starting implementation of a revised service model from April 2021.

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) measure brain activity and can be used to control digital devices. The focus of BCI development has been on using the technology to allow patients to control assistive equipment such as wheelchairs or prostheses. Beyond medicine they are under development for applications in entertainment, marketing and defence. This POSTnote looks at the underpinning technology, its applications and the associated ethical and regulatory challenges.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment she has made of the accuracy of recent reports that veterans participating in the osseointegration surgical pilot are not able to access treatment at DMRC Stanford Hall for rehabilitation purposes; and if she will make a statement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment she has made of the accuracy of recent reports that veterans participating in the osseointegration surgical pilot are not able to access treatment at DMRC Stanford Hall for rehabilitation purposes; and if she will make a statement.
No veterans participating in the osseointegration surgical pilot, that was announced by the Government in November 2015, have been refused rehabilitation treatment at Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre Stanford Hall.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many veterans participating in the osseointegration surgical pilot have received treatment at DMRC Stanford Hall since that establishment opened; and if she will make a statement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many veterans participating in the osseointegration surgical pilot have received treatment at DMRC Stanford Hall since that establishment opened; and if she will make a statement.
Since Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre Stanford Hall opened in autumn 2018 fewer than five veterans have either received in-patient or out-patient rehabilitation following their osseointegration procedure.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have, if any, to introduce a national system of recording (1) the number of, (2) the treatment received by, and (3) the dates of treatments for, new amputees attending limb fitting centres in England.

My Lords, I pay tribute to my noble friend for his continuing interest in wanting to improve services in this important area. As an ex-surgeon he has significant expertise and insight. From 1 April this year, NHS England’s specialised commissioning has required all limb centres delivering amputee services to complete a data reporting template which will collect the information described. The data is not expected to be published as a national statistic but is collected to support the commissioning process.

My Lords, I thank the Minister for her usual helpful reply. She has done so well in stimulating the Department of Health, because in November last year the department told us that it did not collect this information centrally—so I am very glad that she has had success. Will the information be collated?

My Lords, the data collection is not expected to be published routinely but is submitted by the provider to the relevant commissioning hub as a contractual requirement under schedule 6 of the NHS contract information reporting requirements. But I hope that my noble friend will be pleased to hear that we will be considering making available a summary of this data in due course once we have established that it has been collected and reported appropriately.

My Lords, being fitted with a new knee can completely change a person’s life. Can the Minister tell the House what advice is given to clinical commissioning groups about commissioning knee replacements? Living in Cornwall, I would be treated sooner than if I lived on the Isle of Wight. When does the Minister expect the wait on the Isle of Wight to be the same as in Cornwall?

My Lords, I hope that any variation in any service is dealt with and reduced as much as possible. As the noble Baroness will be aware, NHS England commissions the prostheses centrally and has a service specification. It has a duty to reduce
inequalities in access to health services and in the health outcomes achieved, as enshrined in the Health and Social Care Act 2012. Certainly the principle is to reduce inequalities.

My Lords, is my noble friend aware that three weeks ago I was the recipient of a new knee—and what a wonderful job the National Health Service does in Stoke-on-Trent?

I thank my noble friend for his support for the NHS. I hope that his new knee continues to work effectively and properly for a very long time.

My Lords, I have two questions for the Minister. First, many people face an amputation as a result of diabetes. What progress is the national prevention programme making in reducing the number of amputations? Secondly, the Minister will know that NHS England organised a patient survey last year. It reported that one of the biggest issues for people was getting a comfortable and timely socket fit. People expressed frustration that it was not always a get it right first time situation. That is vital, so my second question is about quality control as well as collecting data.

I thank the noble Baroness. NHS England invested more than £9 million of transformation funding in 2017-18 to further reduce amputation rates in people with diabetes by putting in place new and expanded multidisciplinary footcare teams. Overall, the incidence of major amputations in England is now one of the lowest internationally because of this investment. As the noble Baroness correctly said, a review was undertaken. Clinicians will look at the outcomes of that review and take the appropriate action in due course to ensure that some of the complaints made have been addressed adequately.
