answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2015 answer text <p>The information requested is not currently collected.</p><br /><p>The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) is working on the implementation of a new Mental Health Services Dataset which will seek to increase the amount of data available about mental health. The exact reporting which will result from this is still being determined, but perinatal mental health has been identified as a key policy area where more data is required in order to understand the current issues with the services being provided to women in the perinatal period.</p><br /><p>In terms of reporting that will come out of the dataset, this is likely to include reports on:</p><p>- how many referrals to mental health services identify perinatal mental health issues as the primary reason for referral;</p><p>- how many women are identified as being on a perinatal pathway when they come into contact with mental health services;</p><p>- whether women who are admitted with mental health problems are admitted to an appropriate unit; and</p><p>- the kind of care which is provided to women in the perinatal period by community mental health services.</p><br /> <br /><p>We expect that some initial data on perinatal mental health will be available between June and September next year. This will be basic information, such as the number of referrals to mental health services that identify perinatal mental health issues as the primary reason for referral, and we expect data volumes to be low in the first instance. We will use this initial information to refine how data on perinatal mental health is collected going forward.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/11/2015 10:10:28 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2015 answer text <p>The ministerial working group on homelessness report ‘Addressing complex needs – improving services for vulnerable people’ (2015) highlighted significant levels of substance misuse among the homeless population. Homeless people often have multiple health needs, and the report showed how vulnerable people can become trapped in a cycle of homelessness because of their overlapping and complex problems.</p><p><strong></strong></p><p>Improving access to specialist substance misuse services for homeless people can also help to facilitate access to the help they need to find accommodation. This includes both in-house services and onward referral routes to external organisations, such as local authority housing services or other housing support services.</p><br /><p>Public Health England (PHE) supports local authorities to help them understand better the needs of homeless people with addictions, in addition to working with key stakeholders such as the Faculty for Homeless and Inclusion Health and membership organisation Homeless Link. PHE commissioned Homeless Link to carry out a rapid evidence assessment of homelessness prevention. PHE has also supported Homeless Link to update the Homeless Health Needs Audit toolkit, an important tool that can help areas understand the scale and nature of homelessness, the health inequalities experienced by single homeless people, and to monitor any changes in the health of this population. It is designed to be used by anyone with responsibility for carrying out needs assessments, designing and commissioning services, or delivering services within a health or homelessness setting.</p><p><strong></strong></p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 04/11/2015 17:31:45 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2015 answer text <p>The Department of Health does not collect data on the number of children who have received a diagnostic assessment of Autistic Spectrum Disorder.</p><br /><p>The Department for Education collects data on children’s primary special educational need (SEN).</p><br /><p>The table below shows those children in schools in the last five years who had a statement or who were on school action plus, whose primary need was autistic spectrum disorder. These figures do not include pre-school children with autism, young people in further education, or children with autism who had a different primary need.</p><br /> <br /><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>56,250</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>61,575</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>66,195</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>70,785</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>76,015</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>In 2015, the primary need was collected also for those children on SEN support. Including this additional group, 90,775 children were recorded as having a primary need of autistic spectrum disorder in 2015, but given the change in collection methodology, this cannot be compared with the earlier years.</p><br /> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 04/11/2015 17:50:33 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
