answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2017 answer text <p>The average Attainment 8[1] scores of pupils in state funded schools[2], at the end of key stage 4[3], split by whether they entered a GCSE or equivalent[4] qualification in music[5], are presented in the tables below.</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><p><strong>Academic year 2016/17<strong>[6]</strong></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Total pupils</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average Attainment 8 score</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Pupils not entering music<sup>4</sup></strong></p></td><td><p>486,983</p></td><td><p>45.5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Pupils entering music<sup>4</sup></strong></p></td><td><p>41,527</p></td><td><p>52.7</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><p><strong>Academic year 2015/16<sup>6</sup></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Total pupils</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average Attainment 8 score</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Pupils not entering music<sup>4</sup></strong></p></td><td><p>495,072</p></td><td><p>49.4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Pupils entering music<sup>4</sup></strong></p></td><td><p>45,203</p></td><td><p>55.8</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Differences in Attainment 8 scores occur for a number of reasons. These include the prior attainment of pupils (which is controlled for in the Progress 8 measure) and the number of GCSEs taken by pupils (pupils taking more qualifications are more likely to obtain a higher score and pupils taking more qualifications are more likely to take music). The response to PQ 115227 includes more detail about the Progress 8 measure for pupils who take a music GCSE.</p><p> </p><ol><li>Attainment 8 is a new measure which schools and pupils are still adjusting to and with the ongoing transition to reformed GCSEs, it is expected that Attainment 8 scores will be prone to fluctuations initially. Attainment 8 is comprised of a selection of a pupil’s grades and may not include any music qualifications they have sat, therefore it is not possible to unpick which, if any, factors have a definitive influence on these scores. With data for only two years, it is too soon to draw conclusions. More information on Attainment 8 is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/659860/Secondary_accountability_measures_guide.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/659860/Secondary_accountability_measures_guide.pdf</a>.</li><li>State-funded schools include academies, free schools, city technology colleges, further education colleges with provision for 14- to 16-year-olds and state-funded special schools. They exclude independent schools, independent special schools, non-maintained special schools, hospital schools, pupil referral units and alternative provision.</li><li>Pupils are identified as being at the end of key stage 4 if they were on roll at the school and in year 11 at the time of the January school census for that year. Age is calculated as at 31 August for that year, and the majority of pupils at the end of key stage 4 were age 15 at the start of the academic year. Some pupils may complete this key stage in an earlier or later year group.</li><li>Also includes entries in graded music qualifications.</li><li>Pupils are recorded as ‘entering music’ if they sat at least one exam in any music qualification which is counted in the secondary school performance tables as a GCSE, equivalent or graded music qualification.</li><li>2015/16 data is final; 2016/17 data is provisional.</li></ol><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 29/11/2017 16:21:13 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	114757
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2017 answer text <p>GP at Hand is a practice that holds a General Medical Service contract. Practices are paid per weighted registered patient and, as patients register or de-register with GP at Hand, this will alter the payment to the practice. Funding follows the registered patients, so if patients are leaving their current practice for GP at Hand the funding will move to that practice. The practice list sizes are counted and payments adjusted on the first of each quarter and so any payment adjustments will be made in January.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 29/11/2017 17:06:52 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2017 answer text <p>Placing a new, additional data collection requirement on National Health Service or local government organisations to track the duration of transfers of care for each individual patient would be disproportionate at this time. No one should stay in a hospital bed longer than necessary and the Government is committed to reducing delayed transfers of care (DToC). Information is collected monthly that allows progress against expectations for DToC reductions to be assessed.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 29/11/2017 17:34:21 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

Where an individual has a condition of bail to reside at a particular address and it transpires that he is not, or may not, be living at that address, the court may notify the police who will investigate whether or not there has been a breach of bail conditions. If there is evidence of an alleged breach the individual can be arrested and brought before the court. The court may then either remand the individual in custody or amend the bail conditions.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 15/12/2017 12:34:30 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
