answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/02/2016 answer text <p><br> The Government welcomes and accepts the recommendations from the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health. The Taskforce estimates that the priority recommendations for the National Health Service set out in their report will cost an additional £1 billion annually by the year 2020/21: by the end of this Parliament we will make the Taskforce’s recommendations a reality.</p><p><br> Investment in mental health rose to its highest ever level, an estimated £11.7 billion, in 2014/15. The £1 billion of additional investment announced by the Prime Minister last month will be in place by 2020/21 and builds on the £280 million per year of new funding for children and young people’s mental health announced last year. This funding will make an important contribution to plugging the gap and fulfilling the Taskforce’s recommendations, helping one million additional children, young people and adults to access high quality care by 2020/21.</p><p> </p><p>How new investment for NHS priority recommendations is identified and implemented will be for NHS England to determine as part of the planning and allocations process. We anticipate that the majority of commitments outlined in this report will be delivered through clinical commissioning groups.</p><p><br> Further guidance will be issued shortly as part of the new Sustainability and Transformation Planning process: this will set expectations for how funding will be invested to deliver on the Taskforce recommendations for the NHS and how areas will be supported to deliver them over the following four years.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 29/02/2016 17:42:36 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2016 answer text <p>Health and wellbeing boards are responsible for preparing joint strategic needs assessments (JSNAs) which should assess the health and care needs of the entire local population. As such, the JSNA offers a valuable opportunity for localities to review how current local services address loneliness.</p><p><br> The Government has not highlighted or prioritised any specific groups or area of need over another as this would risk undermining the purpose of JSNAs as being objective, comprehensive and most importantly locally-owned assessments.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 24/02/2016 14:32:23 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/02/2016 answer text <p>There is no specific allocation for public health services related to diabetes. Local authorities receive a grant which must be spent on public health, but are best placed to assess local needs, prioritise and deploy available resources accordingly. The NHS Health Check is a national programme that seeks to offer preventative checks for all those in the population aged between 40-74 to assess their risk of vascular disease, including diabetes. NHS England commissions the NHS Diabetic Eye Screening Programme but does not receive a specific allocation for this service.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 29/02/2016 15:40:41 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
