Written Answers
Pharmacy: Software
Asked by: Lord Kamall (Conservative - Life peer)
Monday 14th July 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Merron (HL7383), whether they plan to develop NHS App functionality to allow patients to nominate a distance selling pharmacy directly within the app.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

There are no current plans to allow patients to directly nominate a distance selling pharmacy (DSP) from within the NHS App. Patients can continue to nominate a DSP through existing routes, which currently provide a more seamless patient experience.

Mental Health Services: Registration
Asked by: Lord Kamall (Conservative - Life peer)
Friday 18th July 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to increase public awareness of the Professional Standards Authority's Accredited Registers programme for counselling and psychotherapy services.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA) operates an accredited voluntary register scheme for professions not subject to statutory regulation.

The Government values the scheme and the PSA quality mark demonstrates a register’s commitment to high standards of care and provides assurance around professional standards and ethical behaviours.

The scheme covers voluntary registers across a range of professions, including a number relating to counselling and psychotherapy.

The NHS.UK website sets out that professionals must be on one of the PSA’s accredited registers in order to work as a counsellor in the National Health Service.

Dementia: Health Services
Asked by: Lord Kamall (Conservative - Life peer)
Monday 21st July 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to improve preventative care pathways for dementia, including enhancing existing NHS health checks to incorporate dementia risk factor assessments and early cognitive screening for individuals over 40.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

We recognise the importance of a timely diagnosis and remain committed to increasing diagnosis rates and ensuring that people can access any licensed and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence-recommended treatment and/or support they need. The Government is investing in dementia research across all areas, from causes, diagnosis and prevention, to treatment, care, and support, including for carers.

The NHS Health Check, a core component of England’s cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention programme, aims to prevent some cases of dementia in eligible people by making them aware that many of the risk factors for CVD are the same as those for dementia, and what is good for the heart is good for the brain. While there are no plans to incorporate early cognitive screening in the NHS Health Check, for those aged 65 to 74 years old, the programme signposts individuals to memory services if appropriate.

Our health system has struggled to support those with complex needs, including those with dementia. Under the 10-Year Plan, those living with dementia will benefit from improved care planning and better services. We will deliver the first ever Modern Service Framework for Frailty and Dementia to deliver rapid and significant improvements in quality of care and productivity. This will be informed by phase one of the independent commission into adult social care, expected in 2026.

Dementia: Diagnosis
Asked by: Lord Kamall (Conservative - Life peer)
Monday 21st July 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what role will early detection of dementia play within their 10 Year Health Plan to close the diagnostic gap, in light of the statistic from the Alzheimer's Society that more than a third of people living with dementia in the United Kingdom remain undiagnosed.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

We recognise the importance of a timely diagnosis and remain committed to increasing diagnosis rates and ensuring that people can access any licensed and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommended treatment and/or support they need.

Allergies: Health Services
Asked by: Lord Kamall (Conservative - Life peer)
Monday 21st July 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that integrated care boards collect and use data on (1) allergy prevalence, and (2) allergy services, to inform local commissioning decisions.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Expert Advisory Group on Allergy (EAGA), which is co-chaired by the Department, currently advises the Department, NHS England and other Government departments on the priority areas for policy change and development related to allergy care and outcomes. The EAGA will continue to support the Department and its partners to ensure that the specific needs of people with allergies are addressed through broader National Health Service reforms.

The 10-Year Health Plan will ensure a better health service for everyone, regardless of condition or geography. Its three big shifts, namely from hospital to community, from analogue to digital, and from sickness to prevention will all help deliver improvements to allergy care. With more tests delivered in the community and better joint working with multidisciplinary teams, including allergy specialists, working in local communities as part of the neighbourhood health service. The greater use of apps and wearable technology will also support people to manage their allergies closer to home.

We are committed ensuring we have the staff we need in the NHS, and we want to hear from partners to make sure we have the right people, in the right places, with the right skills. We will provide more details about what will be included in the 10-Year Workforce Plan in due course.

The Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme aims to enhance the overall capacity of and capabilities of primary care teams to address a wide range of patient needs and broader healthcare challenges in their localities. Networks may recruit dieticians and nurses with advanced skills and knowledge in a specific area of healthcare or disease management depending upon the needs of their populations.

NHS England does not collect national data on allergy prevalence or services, nor does it issue specific guidance. In conducting health needs assessments to inform their commissioning decisions, integrated care boards will have access to a wide range of data sources, including public health data, hospital statistics, primary care data, and social care metrics.
