Following a rigorous and independent evaluation of the clinically-led Ambulance Response Programme, in July 2017 the Department agreed NHS England’s recommendations to implement an improved ambulance performance framework. These changes improve responses to patients and the efficiency and resiliency of the ambulance service in the face of rising demand. All mainland National Health Service ambulance trusts are now operating against this new framework and the ambulance service on the Isle of Wight will do so from April 2018.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise that not all trusts are meeting the required standards, however NHS England and NHS Improvement are working closely with the service to assist them to effectively perform against these new requirements, and NHS England will undertake a review of the framework in spring 2018.</p><p> </p><p>Regional ambulance response time performance is available and is published monthly by NHS England.

It has provided training to hundreds of teachers and tuition to 4,500 students. The FCO has contributed around £220,000 in funding each year for the past four financial years. In May 2016, a British Council review found the programme was successfully achieving its aims of critical engagement and building cultural relations as well as improving English language levels. The programme was suspended in August 2017 when the FCO changed its Travel Advice for North Korea to advise against all but essential travel.</p><p>Our bilateral projects in North Korea focused on helping some of the most vulnerable members of society with a particular focus on children and disabled persons. This financial year the FCO funded a small-scale bilateral aid project that included a focus on improving children's nutrition in nurseries and childcare centres outside Pyongyang. This bilateral project totalled £20,000 and along with our two other small projects this financial year, closed down at the end of 2017. We will receive evaluation reports from our implementing partners in due course.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 02/02/2018 14:17:16 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
