Updated 'Health and Care Bill: integration measures' to reflect a government amendment tabled at Lords Report Stage of the Health and Care Bill to include consideration of inequalities in heath and wellbeing and the benefits services in the Triple Aim.

The 鈥楢dvertising of less healthy food and drink鈥� factsheet has been amended to provide a further explanation of products in scope of the policy. The date at which the policy is expected to come into force has been clarified as 1 January 2023. The exemption for 'adverts not intended for UK audiences (online only)' has been updated in line with a government amendment made at Commons Committee stage. In the 鈥楢rm's length body transfer of functions power鈥� factsheet, Public Health England has been removed from those listed as being automatically out of scope. The statement that there are no immediate plans to transfer functions of ALBs has been removed. In the 鈥業ntegration measures鈥� factsheet new information has been added on proposals in the Bill for Care Quality Commission (CQC) reviews of Integrated Care Systems (ICS). The Bill proposes a new duty on the CQC to review each local ICS. The 鈥楳edical examiners鈥� factsheet has been updated to reflect that the proposed power in the Bill extends to Welsh NHS bodies to appoint medical examiners rather than only local health boards in Wales. In the 鈥楴HS payment scheme鈥� factsheet, the reference to impact of current tariff rules on hospital activity has been removed. In the 鈥楶rovider selection and patient choice鈥� factsheet, the statistic for percentage of respondents agreeing or strongly agreeing with NHS England and NHS Improvement proposals in 2019 corrected from 79% to 76%. The 鈥楻eciprocal healthcare arrangements鈥� factsheet has been updated to provide information on new powers for the devolved governments when the implementation of reciprocal healthcare agreements are devolved. Two new factsheets, 'Vaccine reimbursement' and 'Virginity testing' have been added.
