Access to Work Programme
Asked by: Tom Gordon (Liberal Democrat - Harrogate and Knaresborough) Monday 27th April 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking to reduce the time taken to process Access to Work claims. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) We have increased the number of staff by 29% from 500 in March 2024 to 648 in March 2026 and streamlined processes to improve the service. In the Pathways to Work Green Paper, we consulted on the future of the scheme and how to improve it, so that it helps more disabled people in work.

Gastrointestinal System: Diseases
Asked by: Tom Gordon (Liberal Democrat - Harrogate and Knaresborough) Wednesday 29th April 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what consideration his Department has given to the integration of recommendations from the Getting It Right First Time programme for gastroenterology into the national quality strategy. Answered by Zubir Ahmed We recognise the value of clinically‑led improvement programmes such as Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) in identifying and addressing unwarranted variation in care, including in gastroenterology. Rather than being incorporated into the National Quality Strategy, which will set out overarching principles and priorities for improving quality, GIRFT recommendations are developed through detailed clinical engagement, analysis of national data, and close working with professional bodies, providers, and systems. Specialty‑specific recommendations from programmes such as GIRFT are used to inform delivery at national, regional, and local levels, rather than being incorporated as prescriptive elements of the strategy itself. |

Chronic Illnesses: Health Services
Asked by: Tom Gordon (Liberal Democrat - Harrogate and Knaresborough) Wednesday 29th April 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of considering improvements in quality of care for people with long term chronic conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease as part of the national quality strategy. Answered by Sharon Hodgson - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Improving the quality of care for people living with long-term chronic conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, is a key priority for the National Health Service. Rather than being incorporated into the National Quality Strategy, which will set out overarching principles and priorities for improving quality, the NHS is working to improve outcomes and experience for people with long-term conditions through clinically-led improvement activity, data-driven benchmarking, and partnership with professional and patient groups. This work complements the National Quality Strategy’s goal of supporting sustainable quality improvement across the health and care system and reducing health inequalities. |
