Financial year | Remuneration budget (£ billion) |
2005/06 | 1.8 |
2006/07 | 1.9 |
2007/08 | 1.9 |

The budget figures in the table only cover essential and advanced services, as commissioned centrally under the community pharmacy contractual framework. Community pharmacies are also commissioned locally to provide services, originally by primary care trusts and more recently by NHS England, clinical commissioning groups and local authorities. Information on the level of funding received by community pharmacies for those locally commissioned services is not held centrally.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what criteria his Department is using to assess whether NHS sustainability and transformation plans have been the result of local community consultation.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what criteria his Department is using to assess whether NHS sustainability and transformation plans have been the result of local community consultation.
As set out in the NHS Shared Planning Guidance, published in December 2015, the success of Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) will depend on having an open, engaging, and iterative process that involves patients, carers, citizens, clinicians, local community partners including the independent and voluntary sectors, and local government through health and wellbeing boards.
NHS England expects local engagement as part of the STP process, building where appropriate on existing engagement through health and wellbeing boards and other local arrangements. In September 2016 it issued guidance “engaging local people” to support STPs to do this, which can be found here:
https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/engag-local-people-stps.pdf
Where plans propose service changes, formal consultation will commence shortly in line with good practice and legislative requirements.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many hospital bed days were lost in (a) Barnsley, (b) South Yorkshire and (c) the UK as a result of delays in discharging patients each year from 2010 to 2016.
Data are collected on the total delayed days during each month for all patients delayed throughout the month. The total number of delayed days in each year between 2011/12 (the first full year for which data are available) and 2015/16, for Barnsley, South Yorkshire and England are shown in the table below.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what meetings he has had with officials of his Department regarding the effect of sustainability and transformation plans in areas with a shortage of doctors in the last 12 months.
Sustainability and Transformation Plans are locally developed plans, and it is expected that individual areas will take account of local circumstances including any workforce shortages.

While speech and language are important components of the English National Curriculum and assessments, the Department only collects data of an overall expected standard in reading and writing. Information on the proportion of pupils achieving the expected standard in reading and writing is published at national, regional and local authority level as part of the “Phonics screening check and Key Stage 1 assessment” statistical first release.[1]
Parliamentary constituency level information is not available.
The Department for Education produces statistics on England only. The responsibility for education statistics in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales lies with each devolved administration.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what progress has been made on the development of sustainability and transformation plans.
All 44 Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) have now been published, and areas are working to engage local people as they turn their proposals into plans.
National Health Service organisations have also submitted their operational plans for 2017-19.
The additional £325 million announced in the budget will help STPs with the strongest projects make progress in improving care for local communities.
The British Medical Association said recently that the funds for sustainability and transformation plans that were announced in the Budget would be completely inadequate for the task. Health trusts throughout the country are being forced to consider rationing treatment and ending or downgrading local services such as A&E, which will result in even longer waits and journey times to access care. Why do the Government not call STPs what they really are—secret Tory plans to decimate the national health service further?

This is a year in which funding for the NHS has risen by £3.8 billion in real terms. I do not know how the hon. Gentleman can say what he has said, given that in 2015 he stood on a platform to give the NHS £1.3 billion less this year than it is receiving under the Conservatives.

That this House is greatly concerned about the proposed pension reforms to civil nuclear workers on Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) estates; notes that during the course of the Enterprise Act 2016, these workers were also marked for a cap to be imposed on their exit payments, and were assured at the time that their pensions would not be affected; further notes that the terms and conditions that NDA workers were employed on played a crucial role in retaining their vital skills as part of the workforce, and to renege on these promises would not be repaying their commitment with the gratitude it deserves; is alarmed that these pension reforms could see some employees lose up to 75 per cent of their pension; recognises the dedication and professionalism of employees working to make NDA estates around the UK safe; and call on the Government to honour the commitments previously made to these employees and urge the NDA to reconsider the proposed pension changes.

That this House recognises the enormous and vital contribution nurses, midwives and associated healthcare professionals make to the NHS across the UK; commends their strong sense of vocation and high levels of dedication; notes that nursing staff salaries have been subject to a one per cent pay freeze since 2010 and that nursing pay has fallen by more than 14 per cent in real terms since 2011; is concerned that this pay restraint has had a detrimental effect on nurses' standard of living and their morale; and calls on the Government to take action to remove the one per cent pay cap, to return to UK-wide pay scales, to implement a pay award for nursing staff in line with retail price index and to restructure the lowest Agenda for Change pay bands to pay the living wage and to maintain pay differentials.

That this House recognises that African elephants are facing an unprecedented crisis with an average of one killed every 15 minutes for their ivory; welcomes the action taken internationally by the Government to combat the ivory trade and protect elephants in their natural habitat; further recognises that both the illegal ivory trade and the existence of legal domestic markets are helping fuel this trade; notes that ivory, both legal and illegal, is being traded on a daily basis within the UK; further notes that illegal ivory items seized by police and the Border Force in the UK have been falsely antiqued, using artificial stains or ageing techniques, clearly destined for the legal antique market; notes that domestic ivory markets are known to provide cover for the illegal trade in ivory and also reinforce the high value of ivory across the world; notes that China has announced a domestic ivory trade ban by the end of 2017; and therefore calls on the Government to implement its commitment to press for a total ban on ivory sales and close down the UK ivory market, including that of antique ivory, with immediate effect.
