Addressing economic inactivity is important for local government leaders as a way of enabling residents to achieve their potential for a healthy and productive life. LGA are keen to explore what is driving this sustained exit from the jobs market, how the picture differs nationally and locally, and what can be done by local government leaders and its partners alongside the national government, anchor institutions and employers to address this. In particular, we would like to focus on economically inactive people who might need local government services.

NHS England is commissioning an external health economic expertise to undertake a health economic evaluation of improvements to the pre-analytical phase of the blood culture pathway.

Killing more than breast, bowel and prostate cancer combined, the timely and accurate diagnosis of sepsis is key in tackling this and improving patient outcomes.   The AMR Diagnostics programme at NHS England is currently undertaking substantial work to improve the use of blood cultures in the diagnosis of sepsis. The patient impact and clinical benefits are clearly defined through peer-reviewed journals; however, the health economic benefits to the NHS are not clearly documented. Improvements to the pre-analytical phase of the blood culture pathway are...

OfS is looking to commission as supplier to collect reliable and validated prevalence data on the nature and extent of sexual misconduct affecting students. This will inform OfS’ understanding of the sector’s response to the new condition of registration we are developing. We will be consulting on this proposed provider-level regulation in early 2023.
