answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2016 answer text <p>The Government is committed to making the full £1.4 billion investment available over the course of this Parliament to improve mental health services for children and young people.</p><p> </p><p>In line with guidance published by NHS England, all clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) have produced Local Transformation Plans (LTPs) for children and young people’s mental health and these have all now been assured and funding allocated for implementation. These plans required all key partners to agree locally how best to meet the mental health needs of children and young people in their local populations and should cover the whole spectrum of need, which includes improving access to mental health services for vulnerable groups such children in care and care leavers so that they can receive high quality mental health care when they need it. It is for local partners to decide how much of the funding which will be allocated to CCGs to improve local services throughout the five years will be spent specifically on children in care and other vulnerable groups. However, this will be based on an assessment of local needs and set out in the LTPs.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s overall strategy to improve outcomes for care leavers is set out in the <em>Care Leaver Strategy: A cross-departmental strategy for young people leaving care</em> report (October 2013), and a one-year-on document, <em>Care Leaver Strategy: One year on progress update</em>, (October 2014) that reported on progress made and set out how the Government intends to further improve support for care leavers. The Government intends to publish its refreshed Care Leaver Strategy later this year.</p><p> </p><p>The Local Government Association has produced a spreadsheet giving details of every LTP which can be found using the following webpage address:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.local.gov.uk/camhs" target="_blank">www.local.gov.uk/camhs</a></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 10/02/2016 14:52:04 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2016 answer text <p>In November 2015, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the expert body that advises the Government on all immunisation matters, advised that a targeted human papillomavirus vaccination programme should be undertaken for men who have sex with men (MSM) up to 45 years of age who attend genitourinary medicine and HIV clinics. They noted that this should be subject to procurement of the vaccine and delivery of the programme at a cost-effective price. JCVI acknowledged that finding a way to implement its advice would be challenging and made clear that work was needed by the Department and others to consider commissioning and delivery routes for this programme. This work is already underway and we will announce our plans as soon as we can.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is not yet in a position to suggest estimates of the numbers or proportion of MSM who might be vaccinated from this potential vaccination programme.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 12/02/2016 10:28:14 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2016 answer text <p><em>Future in mind, </em>the report of the Children and Young People’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Taskforce, recognised that transition at 18 years of age is not always appropriate and that there should be flexibility around age boundaries, in which transition is based on individual circumstances, rather than absolute age, with joint working and shared practice between services to promote continuity of care.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has acknowledged that the transition for young people into adult mental health services can undoubtedly be challenging, particularly if a young person has been receiving support from children’s mental health services for some time. In January 2015, NHS England published new service specifications for commissioners, giving guidance and best practice on transition from children and adolescent mental health services to adult services (or elsewhere). These specifications intentionally do not stipulate an age threshold for transition (for example, 18) but state that transition should be built around the needs of the individual.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 10/02/2016 14:48:13 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2016 answer text <p>Community pharmacy is a vital part of the National Health Service and can play an even greater role. In the Spending Review the Government re-affirmed the need for the NHS to deliver £22 billion in efficiency savings by 2020/21 as set out in the NHS’s own plan, the Five Year Forward View. Community pharmacy is a core part of NHS primary care and has an important contribution to make as the NHS rises to these challenges. The Government believes efficiencies can be made without compromising the quality of services or public access to them. Our aim is to ensure that those community pharmacies upon which people depend continue to thrive and so we are consulting on the introduction of a Pharmacy Access Scheme, which will provide more NHS funds to certain pharmacies compared to others, considering factors such as location and the health needs of the local population.</p><p> </p><p>We are not able to assess which pharmacies may close because we do not know the financial viability of individual businesses or the extent to which they derive income from services commissioned locally by the NHS or local authorities or have non-NHS related income.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/02/2016 10:23:51 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
