Veterinary Services: Insecticides
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Tuesday 17th March 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 her Department is taking to protect freshwater invertebrates from pesticides used in veterinary tick and flea treatments. Answered by Emma Hardy - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) is taking a range of actions to address the levels of fipronil and imidacloprid being detected in UK waterways.
Through its leadership of the cross‑Government Pharmaceuticals in the Environment Group, the VMD has published a roadmap focusing on improving public awareness and promoting responsible use and disposal of topical flea and tick treatments.
To strengthen the evidence base, the VMD is funding research into environmental exposure pathways and pet owner behaviours and is working with environment agencies to improve monitoring data.
The VMD is also undertaking an evidence‑based review of distribution categories for veterinary medicines containing fipronil or imidacloprid. |

Palliative Care
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Thursday 19th March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure equal access to palliative care. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) We know there are inequalities in access to palliative care and end of life care, and the Government is looking at how best to reduce these. Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for the commissioning of palliative care and end of life care services, to meet the needs of their local populations. NHS England has published statutory guidance which outlines areas for consideration when commissioning services, which makes reference to improving equity of access and reducing inequity in outcomes and experience. This includes the completion of an Equalities and Health Inequalities Impact Assessment and action plan. NHS England has also developed a palliative care and end of life care dashboard, which brings together all relevant local data in one place. The dashboard helps commissioners understand the palliative care and end of life care needs of their local population, enabling ICBs to put plans in place to address and track the improvement of health inequalities. Additionally, the National Institute for Health and Care Research Policy Research Unit in Palliative and End of Life Care has been recently extended for a further two years to run to the end of 2028, delivering high-quality policy research to help improve palliative care and end-of-life care, and tackle inequalities. Through our Modern Service Framework on Palliative Care and End of Life Care, due for publication later this year, we will closely monitor the shift towards the strategic commissioning of palliative care and end-of-life care services to ensure that services reduce variation in access and quality. |

Palliative Care: Finance
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Thursday 19th March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with ICBs on determining funding required to meet palliative care needs. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for commissioning palliative care and end-of-life care services to meet the reasonable needs of their local populations, including hospice provision. To support ICBs in this duty, NHS England has published statutory guidance and service specifications. As set out in NHS England’s Strategic Commissioning Framework and Medium Term Planning Guidance, both published last year, ICBs are expected to understand current and projected total service utilisation and the associated costs for people at the end of life, create an overall plan to more effectively manage the needs of these high-priority cohorts, and significantly reduce avoidable unplanned admissions. Through the development of the Palliative Care and End of Life Care Modern Service Framework (MSF), the Department and NHS England are working with the sector to support ICBs to commission more strategically, including considering future contracting and commissioning arrangements. This shift aims to move away from grant-based and historic block contract models towards a more sustainable approach that ensures funding aligns with the needs identified by ICBs. |

Palliative Care
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Thursday 19th March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how he plans to deliver the MSF on Palliative Care. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government is developing a Palliative Care and End of Life Care Modern Service Framework (MSF) for England. We will publish an interim update in spring 2026, ahead of the full MSF in Autumn 2026. The MSF will drive improvements in the services that patients and their families receive at the end of life and enable integrated care boards to address challenges in access, quality and sustainability through the delivery of high-quality, personalised care. This will be aligned with the ambitions set out in the last year’s 10-Year Health Plan. Through our MSF, we will closely monitor the shift towards the strategic commissioning of palliative care and end-of-life care services to ensure that services reduce variation in access and quality. The MSF will put in place a clear and effective mechanism to deliver a fundamental improvement to the care provided. This will enable adoption of evidence-based interventions that are proven to make a difference to patients and their families. Examples include earlier identification of need, care delivered closer to home by integrated generalist and specialist teams, and strengthened out-of-hours community health support, including dedicated telephone advice. |

Integrated Care Boards: Correspondence
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether there is a mechanism in place for Integrated Care Boards to respond to correspondence from Members of Parliament. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Integrated care boards (ICBs) are statutory bodies as established under the NHS Act 2006 amended by the Health and Care Act 2022. As such they must follow their own internal governance, accountability, and decision-making requirements. How ICBs follow these requirements when replying to correspondence is managed by the ICB. |

Universities: Finance
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions she has had with Vice Chancellors on the impact of Government policy on university finances. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) Higher education (HE) providers are independent from government and as such are responsible for managing their finances and ensuring their business models provide long-term sustainability. However, this government is committed to helping put the HE sector on a secure financial footing so that it can face the challenges of the next decade. Our decision to raise tuition fees annually in line with inflation, alongside refocusing the Office for Students (OfS) on monitoring the sector’s financial health, demonstrates this commitment. Although the OfS is responsible for monitoring the sector’s financial sustainability, the government has a strong interest in understanding the sector’s level of risk. My department continues to engage closely with the OfS, other government departments and sector representative groups, as well as individual providers, to better understand the changing financial landscape.

Higher Education: Redundancy
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what was the number of redundancies announced in higher education over the past year. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) I refer my hon. Friend, the Member for York Central to the answer of 11 March 2026 to Question 117322. |

Higher Education: Finance
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department has undertaken a review of the tuition fee-based funding model for higher education. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The government set out its plans for tuition fees as part of the Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper, published on 20 October 2025. To provide long-term certainty over future funding for the sector so that it can focus on reform, we will increase tuition fee caps for all higher education (HE) providers in line with forecast inflation in 2026/27 and 2027/28 and then legislate when parliamentary time allows to increase tuition fee caps automatically for future academic years. Maximum fee limits for undergraduate courses in the 2026/27 and 2027/28 academic years will increase by forecast inflation of 2.71% (to £9,790) and 2.68% (to £10,050) respectively, based on the retail price index (exclusive of mortgage interest payments). In future years, we will link inflationary fee uplifts to judgements on HE providers’ quality and restrict fee income where high quality cannot be demonstrated. |

Training: Trade Unions
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what public funding has been allocated to union-led workplace learning in each of the past five years. Answered by Andrew Western - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) I refer the Hon. Member to the answer I gave on 13 March 2026 to Question UIN 117323. |

Higher Education: Finance
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will review the financial situation of Higher Education institutions. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) Higher education (HE) providers are independent from government and as such are responsible for managing their finances and ensuring their business models provide long-term sustainability. However, this government is committed to helping put the HE sector on a secure financial footing so that it can face the challenges of the next decade. Our decision to raise tuition fees annually in line with inflation, alongside refocusing the Office for Students (OfS) on monitoring the sector’s financial health, demonstrates this commitment.

Palliative Care
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the NHS Workforce Plan will include clinicians required for Palliative Medicine in (a) acute, (b) community and (c) hospice settings. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The 10 Year Workforce Plan will set out action to create a workforce ready to deliver the transformed service set out in the 10-Year Health Plan. This includes shifting care from hospitals to community settings. We are working through how the plan will articulate the changes for different professional groups. The scope of the 10 Year Workforce Plan is the National Health Service workforce. However, we know that for this shift to be meaningful, multi-disciplinary working and effective integration will be vital for many services, including palliative care. |

Public Health
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how is he assessing the performance of ICBs and their delivery on population health. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The NHS Oversight Framework provides a consistent and transparent approach to assessing National Health Service organisations. The framework will be reviewed in 2026/27 to incorporate work to implement the NHS operating model and to take account of the ambitions and priorities in the 10-Year Health Plan. Further information is available at the following link: https://www.england.nhs.uk/nhs-oversight-framework/ NHS England has a legal duty under the National Health Service Act 2006, as amended by the Health Service and Care Act, to undertake an annual performance assessment of each integrated board.

Palliative Care
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that patients are referred early for assessments for palliative care. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) In 2025/26, the Quality and Outcomes Framework incentive payment for maintaining a palliative care register was retired, meaning general practices (GPs) no longer receive a payment for this activity. However, the use of palliative care registers did not cease, with GPs still able to actively maintain and use their register as part of good clinical practice, including proactive identification, personalised care, and support planning and ongoing reviews. Early identification of someone who has palliative and end-of-life care needs is vital. There are tools to aid clinicians in identifying those approaching the end of life, for example the Supportive and Palliative Care Indicators Tool and the EARLY toolkit, which are available, respectively, at the following two links:
https://www.spict.org.uk/the-spict/
The number of people identified as having palliative care and end-of-life care needs has risen, from 290,433 in 2022/23 to 356,543 in 2024/25.
Timely and equitable identification of palliative care and end-of-life care needs will be a key element of our Palliative Care and End-of-Life Care Modern Service Framework (MSF). NHS England and the Department are working closely with a wide range of stakeholders on the development of the MSF, looking at how we can enable more proactive assessment of palliative care need and subsequent access to services and personalised care and support, including advance care planning.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) In 2025/26, the Quality and Outcomes Framework incentive payment for maintaining a palliative care register was retired, meaning general practices (GPs) no longer receive a payment for this activity.

NHS: Finance
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what criteria is being used to determine the replacement for the Carr-Hill funding formula. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The first phase of the Carr-Hill review is expected to conclude in March 2026. Subject to ministerial decision, further work would be undertaken to technically develop and model any proposed changes to the formula. Findings from the review will be published in due course by the National Institute for Health and Care Research. Members of Parliament will be updated once the review findings are available. Implementation of any new funding approach would be subject to ministerial decision and consultation with the General Practice Committee for England of the British Medical Association, in the context of the available funding and our commitment to substantively reform the General Medical Services Contract within this Parliament. |

Bootham Park Hospital: Repairs and Maintenance
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Wednesday 25th March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an estimate of the costs involved in maintaining the building and grounds of Bootham Park Hospital. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Bootham Park Hospital site is a Grade I listed heritage asset and therefore requires significant ongoing management. The costs associated with maintaining the buildings and grounds have been £5.5 million since 2018, which covers maintenance, security, and insurance across the site, as well as the upkeep of areas that remain operational, including the chapel used by the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and the work required to maintain safe public access through parts of the site. NHS Property Services continues to progress plans to sell the site, which would bring these ongoing holding costs to an end. |
