Community Diagnostic Centres
Asked by: Clive Betts (Labour - Sheffield South East) Thursday 30th March 2023 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what eligibility criteria his Department plan to use to determine (a) where new Community Diagnostic Centres are located and (b) the order in which they are rolled out. Answered by Will Quince To identify appropriate locations, integrated care systems (ICSs) are required to ensure that proposed sites meet the specifications of being separate from acute diagnostics and are able to accommodate minimum community diagnostic centre (CDC) services. All proposed CDCs go through an approvals process led by systems and NHS England, prior to approval by Ministers. NHS England’s ambition is that each ICS will have at least one standard or large model CDC. The first CDCs to open were early adopter sites that could be stood up quickly with no capital investment requirements, to add much-needed additional diagnostic capacity to address the diagnostic backlog. Where required, these temporary sites are being replaced. There are no other eligibility criteria on the order in which CDCs are being rolled out. |
Breast Cancer: Screening
Asked by: Clive Betts (Labour - Sheffield South East) Friday 31st March 2023 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will outline the (a) decision-making process and (b) eligibility criteria used to determine which NHS Trusts received funding for Breast Cancer Screening Units in the financial year 2022-23. Answered by Helen Whately - Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions All National Health Service Breast Screening services were eligible for the fund, if there was commitment in agreement with NHS England, to increase breast screening activity and improve efficiencies and programme resilience. |
Music Venues: Planning
Asked by: Clive Betts (Labour - Sheffield South East) Thursday 23rd March 2023 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he plans to bring forward legislative proposals to help protect grassroots music venues through the planning system. Answered by Baroness Maclean of Redditch The Government is supportive of ensuring that existing facilities, including music venues, do not have unreasonable restrictions put on them because of changes in their area due to new developments. That is why the National Planning Policy Framework includes the 'agent of change' principle. This sets out that planning policies and decisions should ensure that new development can be integrated effectively with existing business and community facilities. This policy includes a specific mention of music venues. The Government continues to engage with the sector on how local music and cultural venues can be protected through our wider reforms to planning policy. |
