To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the compatibility of one-to-one screen-based device use in primary schools in England with NHS guidance on daily screen time for young children.
Decisions about the use of digital devices in classrooms are for schools to make. However, the government’s guidance for younger children advises limiting screen time and prioritising sleep, play, physical activity and interaction with adults. The government is considering the evidence base, following a Call for Evidence, on screen use for children aged 5 to 18 and how to support schools and families to make informed, evidence-based decisions about technology use.

Notes:
- delegated specialised commissioning has been included within the specialised commissioning line as well as directly commissioned spec comm to remain consistent with previous years; and
- prescribing and delegated pharmacy/ophthalmology/primary and secondary dental all sit within the ‘other’ category.
Information for 2025/26 is unvalidated and not quality assured. In-year data is not routinely reported on with the breakdown of spend used for this answer and would be subject to material change between plan and outturn as a result.
75% of NHS England commissioned social services are within the community services line.

The following figures are from the NHS England Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) incident ticketing systems, namely aggregating data from security tooling that monitors cyber security incidents detected by, or reported to, the CSOC. The following table shows the number of security incidents detected by the CSOC where the impact to National Health Services has been prevented:
Period | Incident count |
2025H1 | 1,443 |
2025H2 | 1,364 |
2026H1 | 1,740 |
There are no recorded cyber security incidents that were initially detected by the CSOC which were subsequently not prevented.
The following table shows the number of security incidents initially detected by CSOC security tooling, but which were subsequently found to be a false alarm via either automated mechanisms or manual activity:
Period | Incident Count |
2025H1 | Unavailable |
2025H2 | 85,819 |
2026H1 | 73,628 |
As these are false positives, the data surrounding them is only retained for 12 months, making a response to 2025H1 not possible.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that the NHS Liver Transformation Programme is adequately staffed and prioritised during the ongoing reorganisation of NHS England.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that the NHS Liver Transformation Programme is adequately staffed and prioritised during the ongoing reorganisation of NHS England.
The resource for transforming liver services sits with integrated care boards, who will consider local need and the actions to progress alongside other clinical priorities.
The national team’s role has been to bring together relevant stakeholders to co-ordinate, influence and share learning to support local transformation.
NHS England has identified Clinical and Programme oversight resource to be active during reorganisation, with a lead programme management resource to support prioritised national workstreams.
The programme to date has prioritised reviews of the differential impact of liver disease in relation to health inequalities and deprivation. Examples include evidence of liver-related premature mortality being 4.8 times higher in the most deprived areas, 86% of liver disease deaths, which have increased by 400% since 1970, being related to alcohol harms, South Asian communities being at a higher risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and cirrhosis, and type 2 diabetes and MASLD disproportionately affecting the most deprived communities.
The transformation of the liver services programme includes a number of workstreams including awareness, early identification, and treatment of liver disease, and these will benefit people in these communities. Geographically specific data is available to local commissioners to assist them with focusing their work on deprivation and inequalities, to support their prioritisation.

As set out in the answer of 2 July 2026 to Question HL232, compliance with HM Treasury’s guidance on public sector exit payments and value for money protocols is secured through the relevant employer governance and assurance processes, with NHS England oversight where required. Departmental and HM Treasury approval is generally required where the payment relates to a special severance payment or other non-contractual payment.
Responsibility for ensuring that any redundancy decision is lawful, contractual, and represents value for money rests with the employing integrated care board, supported by NHS England’s assurance role where applicable.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent steps have been taken to ensure the safety of (a) NHS staff and (b) patients within NHS services in Slough constituency.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent steps have been taken to ensure the safety of (a) NHS staff and (b) patients within NHS services in Slough constituency.
Everyone working in the National Health Service has a fundamental right to be safe at work. Individual employers are responsible for the health and safety of their staff, and they put in place measures, including security, training, and emotional support, for staff affected by violence.
In April 2025, my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, announced that the Social Partnership Forum’s recommendations on tackling and reducing violence, part of the 2023 Agenda for Change pay deal, had been accepted in full. This includes measures to improve data and reporting, strengthen risk assessment, and improve training and support for victims. These have been bolstered by the introduction of a new set of staff standards, including one that focuses specifically on tackling violence, as set out in the 10-Year Health Plan.
The Government is prioritising patient safety and a learning culture in the NHS. The changes we are making as part of the 10-Year Health Plan and Dr Penny Dash’s report on the patient safety landscape will improve quality and safety by clarifying where responsibility and accountability sit at all levels of the system. We also plan to develop a new, updated NHS Patient Safety Strategy later in 2026 to continue our focus on improving patient safety.

NHS England routinely assesses options for the future technological development of the NHS App. This includes due regard to cost, appropriate use of artificial intelligence, and most importantly how changes will best enhance the service for patients.
