The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jon Trickett on 2016-06-24.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many NHS trusts have reported difficulty recruiting specialist nurses for patients with neurological conditions in the last three years.

Ben Gummer

Information on how many trusts have reported difficulty recruiting specialist nurses for patients with neurological conditions is not collected centrally.

It is for local National Health Service organisations with their knowledge of the healthcare needs of their local population to invest in training for specialist skills and to deploy specialist nurses.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the time period is within which NHS England has to respond to patients’ complaints.

Mr Philip Dunne

The Local Authority Social Services and National Health Service Complaints (England) Regulations 2009 provide the legislative framework within which NHS complaints must be handled.

There is no set timescale, though the body receiving the complaint must have arrangements in place to ensure it is dealt with efficiently, and the complainant receives a timely response.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many Syrian nationals have resettled in each region under the Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme since March 2014.

Richard Harrington

My rt. hon. Friend, the Prime Minister confirmed on 7 September 2015 that the UK would resettle an additional 20,000 Syrian refugees using the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees process for identifying and resettling refugees. On 16 December he announced that the Government had met its target of resettling 1,000 Syrian refugees by Christmas.

The Home Office is committed to publishing data on the number of people resettled under the programme as part of the regular quarterly Immigration Statistics, in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics. The next set of figures will be in the quarterly release on 25 May 2016 and will cover the period January – March 2016. These numbers will be updated each quarter.

Participation in the Resettlement Scheme is voluntary by local authorities, and some do not wish to have their participation published. As such, the statistics do not include the local authority or region to which people are resettled.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will make an assessment of the adequacy of the numbers of staff at Pinderfields Hospital; and if he will make a statement.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what proportion of Syrian nationals resettled under the Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme since March 2014 were housed under the COMPASS accommodation contract agreements.

Richard Harrington

Syrian nationals resettled in the UK under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme are not housed under the COMPASS accommodation contract agreements. These agreements are only for asylum seekers.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the Care Quality Commission report of December 2015, on Pinderfields Hospital; and if he will make a statement.

Mr Philip Dunne

These are matters for the local National Health Service. It is the responsibility of the Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust Board, its commissioners and regulators, and of the clinicians who work at the Trust, to ensure that the expected standards of care quality are being met.

Patients at Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust deserve the highest quality care and there is no excuse for services to fall short of the standards. The Trust must take the necessary steps to improve its safety and leadership with the support of NHS Improvement.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which providers are expected to provide accommodation for the estimated 20,000 Syrian nationals to be resettled under the Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme by 2020.

Richard Harrington

The UK has been operating resettlement schemes for many years and we already have established and effective networks to accommodate and support resettled people.

This is a voluntary scheme whereby local authorities sign up to accept refugees on a voluntary basis. It is up to each individual local authority to decide how best to manage the resettlement of refugees in their area, and they are therefore free to choose their own delivery partners.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jon Trickett on 2016-09-14.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many complaints NHS England has responded to outside of the 12 month statutory limit for the period in which complaints can be made in each year from 2010 to 2016.

Mr Philip Dunne

The Local Authority Social Services and National Health Service Complaints (England) Regulations 2009 do not place a duty on individual organisations to collect these data; and therefore they are not collected centrally.

There would be a disproportionate cost to provide data in this format, which could in any case only be provided from 1 April 2013 when NHS England was established.
