Diseases: Impact Assessment
Asked by: Lord Bethell (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary) Tuesday 22nd April 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what are the process and criteria for triggering an economic impact assessment of a new disease in the Department of Health and Social Care; and whether they are undertaking an assessment of the suitability of that process and criteria against long Covid, as a condition that did not exist five years ago. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government understands the scale of the challenge presented by long COVID, which is also felt on employment and the economy. NHS England established over 100 long COVID services for adults, and for children and young people. These assess people with long COVID and direct them into appropriate care pathways which provide appropriate support and treatment. The Government has also invested over £57 million into long COVID research. The projects aim to improve our understanding of the diagnosis and underlying mechanisms of the disease and the effectiveness of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies and interventions, and to evaluate clinical care. The Department regularly reviews evidence on the health and economic impact of diseases and conditions. Where appropriate, this evidence is used to produce impact assessments which inform the development of new policies to address the needs of the population. |
Diseases: Impact Assessments
Asked by: Lord Bethell (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary) Tuesday 29th April 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask His Majesty's Government what are the process and criteria for triggering an economic impact assessment of a new disease in the Treasury; and whether they are undertaking an assessment of the suitability of that process and criteria against long Covid, as a condition that did not exist five years ago. Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury) HM Treasury has a comprehensive framework for assessing and managing potential risks to the economic and fiscal outlook, including those posed by new diseases. This framework involves systematic monitoring through internal risk monitors, risk governance forums, and collaboration with other government departments such as the Cabinet Office and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). In escalatory scenarios, such as where a new disease with high transmission rates emerges, HM Treasury is prepared to conduct economic impact assessments to inform policy and response plans.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, HM Treasury officials engaged with other Government departments to consider the implications of long COVID, including assisting with preparations for the DHSC long COVID Oversight Board. HM Treasury will provide more information on its efforts to understand the economic implications of long COVID-19 to the ongoing COVID-19 inquiry. |
