Additionally, the last spending review made £16 billion available to local authorities, payable over the current spending review period.

More people are attending sexual health services. The most recent data estimated that there were 3.3 million attendances in 2017 – an increase of 3% from 2016.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2019 answer text <p>There have been recent discussions with Ministerial colleagues in the Department for Transport and Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on increasing physical activity, including cycling and walking. Increasing the number of people cycling and walking has public health benefits as well as being good for the transport system as a whole, local economies and social inclusion. To this end, the Government is making significant investments through the cycling and walking investment strategy. The strategy acknowledges that there is good anecdotal evidence that people would be most encouraged to cycle by being able to ride completely away from motor traffic using routes such as greenways. We have also set an aim to double cycling activity, and increase the percentage of children aged five to 10 that usually walk to school to 55% by 2025.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 25/02/2019 17:27:49 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2019 answer text <p>Local authorities will receive over £3 billion in 2019/20, ring-fenced exclusively for use on public health.</p><p>Over the five years of the current spending review period we are making over £16 billion of grant funding available to local authorities in England exclusively for use on improving health. The grant is only a proportion of the total spending on public health: for example, NHS England commissions national screening and immunisation programmes with a budget of £1,205 million for 2018/19, and many other interventions occur in National Health Service primary care settings.</p><p>Public Health England monitors progress against the wide-ranging set of indicators published in the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) which shows that, as a whole, for the majority of PHOF indicators the trends in England are either broadly constant or have improved in comparison with 2014. In 2017 there was a total of 3.3 million attendances at specialist sexual health services. This represents a 13% increase in overall attendances since 2013. Attendances at community sexual and reproductive health services have reduced but there has been an increase in use of long-acting reversible contraception methods which require far fewer follow up appointments and which may account for some of the reduction in these attendances.</p> answering member printed Baroness Manzoor question first answered 29/01/2019 17:25:35 answering member 4289 label Biography information for Baroness Manzoor
