Book Description
The Committee's previous report into this issue (HCP 697, session 2002-03, ISBN 9780215011978) published in July 2003, examined the Government's policy reforms for patient and public involvement in the NHS, and in particular the concerns raised by the transition from Community Health Councils (CHCs) to new systems and structures such as Patient and Public Involvement Forums (PPIfs). Now, just over three years after they were established, the Government has set out plans to replace PPIfs with Local Involvement Networks (LINks), through the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill (HCB 16, session 2006-07, ISBN 9780215708014) currently going through Parliament. This current report seeks to inform the Commons consideration of the report stage of this Bill as well as considering a number of broader issues, including: the recent history of patient and public involvement, the effectiveness of LINks, major consultations and the Secretary of State's interventions in such consultations, and the Government's proposals to amend section 11 of the Health and Social Care Act 2001.

Book Description
In England, implementing Electronic patient record (EPR) systems is one of the main aims of the 10-year National Programme for Information Technology (NPfIT). The main plank of the NPfIT programme is the NHS Care Records Service (NCRS) which will create two separate EPR systems: a national Summary Care Record (SCR), containing basic information, and local Detailed Care Records (DCRs), containing more comprehensive clinical information. NCRS will also include a Secondary Uses Service (SUS) which will provide access to aggregated data for management, research and other 'secondary' purposes. On the SCR, this report finds: a lack of clarity about what information will be contained; consent arrangements for creating and adding information have not been well communicated to patients or clinicians; important components have not yet been completed; maintaining security is a serious challenge. The DCR systems are to replace local IT systems across the NHS, but the report points to delays in trials and implementation, difficulty in establishing either the level of information sharing that will be possible, or how sophisticated local IT applications will be. There has also been a lack of local involvement in delivering the project, with hospitals often left out of negotiations between Connecting for Health (the body delivering NPfIT) and suppliers, leading to a lack of enthusiasm for deploying the systems. The Committee recommends Connecting for Health focuses on setting and ensuring compliance with technical and clinical standards for NHS IT systems, allowing local users the final say over which system is procured and how it is implemented. The report points to some notable successes too: agreement on a universal coding language for the NHS, and a single unique patient identifier, the NHS number; and the potential for the SUS and health research is significant.
Provision of Allergy Services,Sixth Report of Session
Author: Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Health CommitteePublisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780215020079
Category : Allergy
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
With allergies affecting about 30% of the adult population, and 40% of children, the need for a skilled primary care service is essential. The Committee, though, found serious problems in provision of such services. To combat this, the Committee recommends; setting up a network of primary care allergy providers; improved incentives for GPs to treat allergies; a system for better training in understanding and dealing with allergies; developing a framework that introduces allergies into the GPs Special Interest programme, so giving their treatment higher priority. Besides the deficiencies highlighted in the primary care services, the Committee also recommends improvements to secondary and tertiary care, and that at least one specialist allergy centre should be located in each of the former NHS regions, serving populations of between 5-7 million, and with a minimum of four allergy consultants. The Committee thinks that in the longer term, allergies should be the focus of a full specialist consultant workforce, with every major teaching hospital having a consultant-led service

Book Description
Healthcare systems have been confronted by multiple, often conflicting, guidelines on the use of medical technologies. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) was established in 1999 to address these problems in England. This work looks at what it does, how it works, changes made since its establishment, and the challenges it faces.
