The neighbourhoods have been selected using a robust methodology which identified those affected by a combination of material deprivation and low social capital.

Palliative Care
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Thursday 21st May 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress he has made on the Palliative Care MSF; and what plans he has to consult on his proposals on this. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government is developing a Modern Service Framework (MSF) for Palliative Care and End of Life Care in England. The MSF is a clinically led, evidence-based framework to support sustained improvements in outcomes for patients and carers, including by reducing unwarranted variation and addressing inequalities in access, experience and outcomes. This will be aligned with the ambitions set out in the last year’s published 10-Year Health Plan. We intend to publish the full MSF report in autumn 2026, with an interim update planned for publication shortly. We are committed to continuing to work closely with stakeholders and have already engaged with a range of stakeholders, from around 70 different organisations, to inform the MSF’s development. The call for evidence for the MSF resulted in over 150 responses from stakeholders. There will be further opportunities for stakeholders to feed in as we work through the next stages of the MSF development, details of which will be communicated via our regional NHS England teams, the NHS Alliance and the Ambitions Partnership. |

Winter Fuel Payment
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Thursday 21st May 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, for what reason a single pensioner's household income could be less than that of a couple and the couple could be entitled to the Winter Fuel Allowance where the single pensioner was not. Answered by Torsten Bell - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury) Winter Fuel Payments are assessed and, where applicable, recovered on an individual basis rather than by reference to total household income. This reflects the structure of the personal tax system.
Winter Fuel Payments remain a simple scheme to provide a lump sum payment to the majority of pensioners quickly and automatically, without the need to claim. The system for withdrawing the Winter Fuel Payment for those with higher incomes is simple and cost-effective to deliver.
The £35,000 threshold means that more than three quarters of pensioners will benefit from the Winter Fuel Payment. The threshold is in line with average earnings and means those on lower and middle incomes are receiving the help they need whilst ensuring payments are better targeted than the previous near-universal payment; and ensuring fairness for both pensioners and taxpayers. |

Water Companies: Pay
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Thursday 21st May 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to ensure that Water Company Executive Members do not have salaries and bonuses subsidised by parent companies. Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Government is strengthening transparency and accountability in the water sector. Ofwat recently consulted on tightening executive remuneration reporting requirements. Companies are now required to publicly report the total remuneration received by each director and breakdown the different elements of that remuneration, including explanations of what each element of pay relates to, across regulated, group and parent companies. Ofwat will continue to scrutinise executive remuneration arrangements to ensure they are reported transparently. Government expects companies to abide by both the letter and spirit of the bonus rule. |

Independent Commission into Adult Social Care
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Tuesday 26th May 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress has been made on the Casey Review of Social Care, and when does he expect the publication of the stage 1 report on this. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Independent Commission into Adult Social Care (“the Commission”) is making good progress. In March, Baroness Casey highlighted several issues she had identified within the adult social care system and called for immediate action in three key areas: safeguarding; dementia; and motor neurone disease. The Government is now working at pace to take her recommendations forward. Baroness Casey's recommendations followed the Commission’s extensive engagement across the country. The Commission has actively engaged with over 400 people, including people who draw on care and their families. It held the second round of cross-party discussions this month. The Commission will shortly launch its national conversation with the public. Baroness Casey will publish her phase 1 report, making recommendations on immediate priorities for adult social care, later this year. The Commission is now sharing monthly updates on its progress via its newsletter, which is available at the following link: |

NHS: Palantir
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Thursday 4th June 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if providers do not wish to engage with Palantir's FDP, what steps is he taking to ensure that they can procure alternative services. Answered by Preet Kaur Gill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The NHS Federated Data Platform (NHS FDP) safely connects information across the National Health Service from different systems, into a single secure environment. This integration improves care coordination, expands treatment options, and leads to enhanced clinical outcomes. The capabilities it provides to local organisations will help deliver the National Health Service of the future as part of the Government's 10-Year Health Plan for England. To date, 24 integrated care board clusters and 168 NHS trusts have signed up to the NHS FDP, including York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. NHS England publishes quarterly information on the benefits realised from the NHS FDP at the following link: The NHS FDP is delivering for the NHS, helping people get the care they need quicker and more efficiently. Since March 2024, more than a 100,000 additional patients have been supported to undergo procedures in theatres partly by increasing theatre utilisation, nearly 94,000 people have been supported on their cancer journey, with 7% seeing a reduction in the time it took to diagnose their cancer, and there has been a 14% decrease in delays discharging patients staying in hospital for more than seven days, freeing up beds for those who need them. However, where NHS organisations would like to use alternative solutions, they retain the ability to procure locally, provided solutions meet applicable standards and support the delivery of national priorities. NHS England continues to support providers in ensuring that their digital estate aligns with national standards and delivers value for money for taxpayers. |

Answered by Preet Kaur Gill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The NHS Federated Data Platform (NHS FDP) safely connects information from different systems across the National Health Service into a single, secure environment. This allows staff to co-ordinate care to improve outcomes for patients. To date, 24 integrated care board clusters and 168 NHS trusts have signed up to the NHS FDP, including York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. NHS England publishes quarterly information on the benefits realised from the NHS FDP at the following link: The NHS FDP has allowed trusts to make better use of their operating theatres, reduce waiting times for diagnoses, including for cancer, and supported trusts to discharge people more quickly from hospital.
