NHS England and NHS Improvement now have a comprehensive national programme supporting reductions in inappropriate placements. Every part of the country now has a clear, realistic plan for ending out of area placements safely by 2021, with many areas having already ended this practice altogether.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 19/06/2018 15:48:35 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>Initial analysis of records held by NHS Digital suggested that 195,568 women were registered with a general practitioner in England and had not been invited as expected for a breast screen between their 68th and 71st birthdays. These women were all sent a letter to alert them to the potential problem as soon as possible.</p><p> </p><p>Subsequent analysis showed that 72,839 (37%) of them had received a screen or an invitation for a screen between their 68th and 71st birthday. The main reason for the discrepancy was that, in line with usual practice, women who move house are sent invitations to both addresses, while some had been invited before their 68th birthday but screened after it.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 25/06/2018 14:27:28 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

uin	154139
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2018 answer text <p>The Department has undertaken an economic assessment of the effect of a new runway at Heathrow at a national level, taking account of all regions. Businesses from across the UK, including the West Midlands, will benefit as an expanded Heathrow delivers greater connectivity for both passengers and freight, with nearly six million additional trips from passengers outside of London and the South East being made via an expanded Heathrow in 2040.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is clear that while a Northwest Runway at Heathrow will help to secure the UK’s status as a global aviation hub, regional airports will continue to develop their point-to-point networks. The department’s aviation forecasts show that passenger numbers and international flights at airports outside of London are expected to increase by 80 per cent and 71 per cent respectively between 2016 and 2050 with a third runway at Heathrow. These forecasts show demand exists for airports such as Birmingham and East Midlands to continue to grow alongside any expansion in the South East, while individual airport commercial strategies could help them to grow even further.</p><p> </p><p>Lastly, as the Secretary of State set out in his oral statement on 05 June, any new operational runway at Heathrow is still a number of years away. This is why the Government supports airports beyond Heathrow, like Birmingham and East Midlands Airports, making best use of their existing runways. However, the Government recognises that the development of airports can have positive and negative effects, including on noise levels. We consider that any proposals should be judged on their individual merits by the relevant planning authority, taking careful account of all relevant considerations, particularly economic and environmental.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/06/2018 16:18:43 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

Friend, the Prime Minister on 19 February, the government is conducting a major review across post-18 education and funding. The review will ensure that the system is giving every individual a genuine choice between high quality technical, vocational and academic routes, students and taxpayers are getting value for money, and employers can access the skilled workforce they need.</p><p> </p><p>Ensuring value for money for students, graduates and taxpayers is at the heart of the review. It will consider how students and graduates contribute to the cost of their studies, how we can ensure funding arrangements across post-18 education are transparent and do not act as barriers to choice or provision, and how best to promote institutional efficiency.</p><p> </p><p>The review is being supported by an independent panel, led by Philip Augar, and comprising experts from across post-18 education and the business world. The panel will publish their report at an interim stage, before the government concludes the overall review in early 2019.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 25/06/2018 15:08:17 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
