York Hospital: Waiting Lists
Asked by: Keir Mather (Labour - Selby and Ainsty) Tuesday 23rd April 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she is taking to reduce A&E waiting times at York Hospital for residents of Selby and Ainsty constituency. Answered by Helen Whately - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Our two-year urgent and emergency care recovery plan, backed by £1 billion of dedicated funding, was published in January 2023, to drive sustained improvements in urgent and emergency care waiting times.
At York Hospital, an expanded and redesigned emergency department was opened in July 2023. This has improved the provision of services, including same day emergency care (SDEC). SDEC supports patients’ access to timely diagnosis and treatment, without the need for admission to hospital.
The latest published data shows that at York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the proportion of patients waiting 12-hours from decision-to-admit to admission has reduced by 6.9% in March 2024 compared to the previous year. |
Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Prescriptions
Asked by: Keir Mather (Labour - Selby and Ainsty) Thursday 25th April 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment she has made of the potential merits of adding medications related to (a) asthma and (b) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to the NHS prescription charge exemption list. Answered by Andrea Leadsom - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) While the Government’s policy remains, that there are no plans to review the list of medical conditions that entitle someone to apply for a medical exemption certificate, there are extensive arrangements currently in place in England to ensure that prescriptions are affordable for everyone, including for those with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Approximately 89% of prescription items are dispensed free of charge in the community in England, and there is a wide range of exemptions from prescription charges already in place for which those with heart disease may be eligible. Eligibility depends on the patient’s age, whether they are in qualifying full-time education, whether they are pregnant or have recently given birth, or whether they are in receipt of certain benefits or a war pension. People on a low income can apply for help with their health costs through the NHS Low Income Scheme. The scheme provides income related help to people who are not automatically exempt from charges, but who may be entitled to full or partial help if they have a low income and savings below a defined limit. To support those with greatest need who do not qualify for an exemption or the NHS Low Income Scheme, Prescription Prepayment Certificates (PPCs) are available. PPCs allow people to claim as many prescriptions as they need for a set cost, with three month and 12 month certificates available, which can be paid for in instalments. |
Visas: Married People
Asked by: Keir Mather (Labour - Selby and Ainsty) Tuesday 30th April 2024 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when he plans to raise the minimum income threshold for the spouse/partner visa to (a) £34,500 and (b) £38,700. Answered by Tom Pursglove - Minister of State (Minister for Legal Migration and Delivery) The first increase to the MIR took effect from 11 April 2024 when it was raised to £29,000. The dates for further increases to £34,500 and £38,700 will be announced in due course. |
Postal Services: Rural Areas
Asked by: Keir Mather (Labour - Selby and Ainsty) Tuesday 30th April 2024 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what recent discussions she has had with Ofcom on the adequacy of the provision of postal services in rural areas. Answered by Kevin Hollinrake - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade) Ofcom, as the independent regulator, is responsible for the provision of a universal postal service. Its regulatory framework requires Royal Mail to ensure that, for the UK as a whole, the premises of not less than 98% of users of postal services are within half a mile of a post box and, in all postcode areas, the premises of 95% of users of postal services are within 3 miles of an access point (such as a post box, a Post Office or a Customer Service Point within a Delivery Office). As part of its 2022 review of postal regulation, Ofcom considered accessibility of the service, including for rural users, and decided to maintain the existing regulations. |
Students: Neurodiversity
Asked by: Keir Mather (Labour - Selby and Ainsty) Tuesday 21st May 2024 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to help tackle discriminatory language towards neurodiverse students in mainstream education. Answered by David Johnston - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The government has sent a clear message to schools that all forms of bullying, for whatever reason, are unacceptable. Bullying can have a devastating effect on individuals, harm their education and have serious and lasting consequences for their mental health.
All schools are legally required to have a behaviour policy with measures to prevent all forms of bullying. Schools have the freedom to develop anti-bullying strategies that are appropriate to their environment and are held to account by Ofsted. More information on the department’s ‘Behaviour in schools’ guidance is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/behaviour-in-schools--2.
The department has provided over £3 million of funding, between 10 August 2021 and 31 March 2024, to five anti-bullying organisations to support schools to tackle bullying. One of the grant holders, the Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA), delivered a range of targeted programmes based on tackling the bullying of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The ABA provides a free continuing professional development training course to help schools reduce disablist bullying, which can be found here: https://learning.anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk/course/9155/course-12-%E2%80%93-reducing-disablist-bullying-disabilities-equality-act-and-schools-duties.
The department is currently considering what future support schools might need to tackle bullying.
More widely, a school’s culture should consistently promote high standards of behaviour and provide the necessary support to ensure all pupils can achieve and thrive, both in and out of the classroom. Schools should consider how a whole-school approach meets the needs of all pupils in the school, including those with SEND or neurodiverse needs, so that everyone can feel they belong in the school community and high expectations are maintained for all pupils. |
