The NHS Long Term Plan commits to achieving at least a 50% reduction in the number of people with a learning disability or autism who are inpatients in mental health hospitals by 2023/24. The NHS Planning Guidance requires a 35% reduction as soon as possible in 2019/20.
In May 2019, the Care Quality Commission published their thematic review interim report regarding the use of restrictive interventions in settings that provide inpatient and residential care for people with, or who might have, mental health problems, learning disabilities and/or autism. We accepted all the recommendations and will undertake independent reviews of the care of everyone with a learning disability or autism detained in long-term segregation.
The Mental Health Units (Use of Force) Act 2018 applies in relation to the use of force (restraint) in mental health units which provide National Health Service-funded treatment.
The aim of the Act is to bring more rigour and accountability around the recording, reporting and training of staff in the use of force in mental health units, with a view to reducing the use of restrictive practices.

Note:
The Assuring Transformation collection covers England, but includes patients whose care is commissioned in England and provided elsewhere in the UK. These figures represent the number of patients who are receiving inpatient care at the end of each month. Figures have not been revised with more recent information, but show the position at the end of each month as extracted from the system at that time.
Values have been rounded to the nearest five to minimise disclosure risks associated with small numbers.
Some patients have not been formally diagnosed with either a learning disability or autism but remain in the collection as they are understood to fall under one of these categories and as such were returned by data submitters.
The above table includes patients who are under 18 at the start of the reporting year but may have turned 18 during the year.
Inpatients may appear across more than one year.

That this House notes with concern the mass protests in Iraq in October 2019 in response to corruption, unemployment, weak governance and unequal access to public services and the disproportionate response by Iraqi security forces to those protests, which resulted in more than 150 people being killed, thousands of people being injured and hundreds of people being detained; expresses concern about the fate of civil activist Dr Maitham Al-Helo, who was taken from his private surgery in West Baghdad by unidentified armed men and who has not been seen since; further notes with concern reports that security forces, including militia groups, fired tear gas and live rounds at demonstrators in Baghdad and several southern provinces, that some activists were savagely beaten and that a minority of demonstrators used violence; reiterates the UN’s message to the Iraqi authorities that the protestors’ demands are legitimate and that the Iraqi authorities should allow people to express their grievances in a peaceful way; urges the Iraqi Government to hold those responsible for the excessive use of force against the demonstrators and other human rights abuses to account and to address the demonstrators’ grievances, including by prioritising effective action to stamp out corruption, which has permeated Iraqi politics and society, and by re-examining the power-sharing quota system; and calls on the UK Government to support the Iraqi authorities and people to comply with the international human rights framework to help prevent instability and violence in that country.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to improve response times to recommendations for endovascular thrombectomy treatment for severe strokes which can be administered only within 24 hours.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to improve response times to recommendations for endovascular thrombectomy treatment for severe strokes which can be administered only within 24 hours.
In March 2018, NHS England published their policy document ‘Clinical Commissioning Policy Proposition: Mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke’ which outlines key recommendations for diagnosis, referral, and patient pathways for intervention, and treatment.
The document can be accessed at the following link:
Stroke treatment outcomes are monitored by the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme against outcome measures for services which include:
- Time from onset to thrombectomy;
- Time from onset to arrival at thrombectomy centre;
- Time from arrival to arterial puncture; and
- Time from arterial puncture to thrombectomy.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has in place to increase the number of specialists trained in endovascular thrombectomy treatment.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has in place to increase the number of specialists trained in endovascular thrombectomy treatment.
In England, Health Education England (HEE) is supporting NHS England’s National Stroke Programme to support the education and training of the healthcare workforce in England to deliver stroke care, and this includes increasing the number of medical professionals able to carry out mechanical thrombectomy procedures. The interim NHS People Plan committed to the development of a credential for mechanical thrombectomy, to support the delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan. HEE will work with the Royal College of Radiologists who are developing a medical credential, and work is expected to be completed later in 2019. The Royal College of Radiologists’ remit is throughout the United Kingdom.
Staff numbers, education and training in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland is a matter for each of the devolved administrations in that country.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reason endovascular thrombectomy treatment is provided 24/7 only at Stoke-on-Trent hospital and St George's hospital in London; and what steps he plans to take to widen the provision of that service.

NHS England is responsible for commissioning endovascular thrombectomy treatment in designated specialised neuroscience centres.
Endovascular thrombectomy treatment requires specialist skills to maintain standards of safety and effectiveness. As the number of trained specialist doctors and staff who deliver the service is very small, not all health trusts provide these services.
Services are being developed nationally in 24 neuroscience centres, with 22 centres currently providing a thrombectomy service. These centres are extending their service hours in a phased and safe way while they recruit and train the required specialists.
Currently there are two centres providing a full 24/7 service, a further six centres will provide 24/7 services by the end of 2019/20. Other centres are developing their services and teams to extend their services over the coming years.

That this House celebrates the 70th anniversary of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the 20th anniversary of the United Nations Security Council Protection of Civilians mandate; appreciates the action taken, often at considerable personal risk, by neutral humanitarian actors to protect and support civilians in armed conflict situations; is very concerned about the high price civilians and humanitarian workers continue to pay in armed conflicts globally, with civilians comprising the vast majority of casualties facing forced displacement, intentional damage of civilian infrastructure, attacks on medical personnel and facilities, and sexual violence; welcomes the Government's championing of international humanitarian law and protection of civilians in armed conflict, as well as the current review of its strategy; calls on the Government to take note of the recommendations in the UN Secretary General's 2019 report on Protection of Civilians, and to ensure its revised strategy provides a clear cross-Departmental mandate formalising civilian protection as a topline priority in UK operations and UK assistance to partners, and committing to establish departmental roles and responsibilities with a clear implementation plan; and further calls on the Government to better understand the impact of UK military operations, by accurately recording civilian casualties and tracking civilians through the creation of a dedicated civilian casualty mitigation and investigation team that has access to internal and external sources of information and evidence.

I pay tribute to the right hon. Lady for the proactive approach she is taking to redeveloping this site, which has been an outstanding issue for decades. I was pleased that we were able to bring together the current owners of the site with her to come up with a positive plan for the future.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what information his Department holds on the alleged targeting by Syrian and Russia of 13 hospitals in Syria run by the Union of Medical Care and relief organisations.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what information his Department holds on the alleged targeting by Syrian and Russia of 13 hospitals in Syria run by the Union of Medical Care and relief organisations.
We are appalled by reports that hospitals in north west Syria have been hit by Russian and regime airstrikes. The UN estimate that 20 health facilities, at least 9 of which are hospitals, have been affected by recent hostilities. It is inexcusable that hospitals have been attacked despite their coordinates being provided to Russia and others by the UN deconfliction mechanism. We urgently call on the Syrian regime, Russia and all other actors to abide by international law and respect the ceasefire agreed last year and the deconfliction mechanism.
