Earlier this year, I met the Cockermouth and Maryport primary care network, which told me about the increasing challenge of supporting my constituents with their mental health. Has the Secretary of State considered relaxing the additional roles reimbursement scheme funding rules to allow mental health nurses to be employed wholly by a PCN, and not need to be under the employment of a local mental health trust? That flexibility could help GP practices to intervene earlier and reduce referrals to secondary care quickly.

We have, in fact, relaxed the rules on ARRS so that a mental health worker can be employed by the PCN. My hon. Friend is absolutely right that that is an important part of stepping from hospital to community, but there is more we can do on that. We continue to do whatever we can to ensure that mental health and GP surgeries are actively integrating.

The Department and NHS England are committed to addressing the issue of increasing medical indemnity costs for general practitioners (GPs), including those working out of hours.
Increasing costs of indemnity cover associated with out of hours work may discourage GPs from undertaking out-of-hours shifts in primary care.
The Department was represented at a roundtable event held by NHS England on 17 November 2015 to develop a shared understanding of how to address rising medical indemnity costs. A range of stakeholders, including the British Medical Association and Medical Defence Organisations (MDOs), also attended.
On 9 December 2015, NHS England announced a winter indemnity scheme to offset the additional indemnity premium for GPs who wish to work additional sessions for their out-of-hours providers. In addition they have negotiated changes to the products offered by MDOs to bring down costs of indemnity for extended access.
Discussions are ongoing between the Department and NHS England on a long-term solution.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps his Department is taking to improve infection control in primary health trusts.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps his Department is taking to improve infection control in primary health trusts.
There is no simple solution to reducing infections in hospitals or the wider health economy. Thus as part of implementation of the UK 5 Year Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy 2013 – 2018, a wide ranging programme of work is already underway to reduce the incidence of infections. The Strategy is available at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-5-year-antimicrobial-resistance-strategy-2013-to-2018
Plans are in hand to strengthen local leadership and reporting to support the drive to reduce healthcare associated infections. There are national evidence based guidelines for preventing healthcare associated infections and local and national surveillance to help us identify areas where more focused attention and effort is needed are part of this programme. Our expert scientific advisory committee is currently evaluating relevant data to identify interventions that can be used to reduce infections such as Escherichia coli blood stream infections.
In addition a new indicator will bring together data into one website to help the National Health Service understand that cleanliness, infection prevention and control and antibiotic usage are linked issues which require urgent coherent action. This will support our aim of ensuring local delivery and more information will be in the second Strategy progress report due to be published in the spring.
