Since 2018, approximately £68 million has been invested into research on pregnancy across NIHR’s research programmes. No assessment of the adequacy has been made and it is not usual practice for the NIHR to ringfence funds for particular topics or conditions. The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including pregnancy.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 20/09/2023 09:42:22 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2021 answer text <p>The department wants every autistic young person to reach their potential and feel heard at every stage of their life, no matter where they live. That is why, in its first year alone, the department is investing £74 million into our cross-government National Autism Strategy to promote a straightforward route to diagnosis, the correct support, increasing understanding and improving access to a quality education and social care.</p><p>In total, £600,000 of this funding has gone towards the department’s contract with the Autism Education Trust (AET) for the 2021/22 academic year. The department has funded the AET since 2011 to deliver autism awareness training to education staff in early years, schools, and further education settings. As the funding is to provide national coverage across the country, rather than specific allocations to regions or local authorities, the department does not have the exact figure for Enfield. However, it has so far reached more than 305,000 people across the country. As well as teachers and teaching assistants, this includes support staff such as receptionists, dining hall staff and caretakers, encouraging a 'whole school' approach to supporting autistic pupils.</p><p>In addition to our existing commitments, the department is determined to ensure that the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system works more effectively for those children who need extra support, including autistic children. That is why the department is completing the SEND Review, to improve outcomes and build a sustainable SEND system, where there is clear accountability.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 08/12/2021 17:11:52 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2023 answer text <p>The Department has not issued guidance on the use of out-of-date cancer treatment machinery as it is the responsibility of National Health Service systems to follow guidance from NHS England.</p><p>Recent Capital Planning Guidance from NHS England sets out the expectation that most radiotherapy equipment, particularly LINAC machines, will need to be replaced at ten years of age, to make progress on Long Term Plan priorities. The guidance states that integrated care systems need to develop replacement plans as part of their multi-year capital plans, in partnership with specialised commissioners, Cancer Alliances and Radiotherapy Operational Delivery Networks, based on an assessment of equipment age, capacity and demand, opportunities to improve access, and service risk.</p><p>At the 2021 Spending Review, £12.6 billion was awarded for NHS Operational Capital for 2022/23 to 2024/25. This accounts for the need to replace diagnostic and other equipment, and the need for NHS trusts to provide for replacements is recognised in the NHS Planning Guidance.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 16/10/2023 14:59:19 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2021 answer text <p>The department has spent over £3.5 billion in each of the past three years on early education entitlements, and the government will continue to support families with their childcare costs.</p><p>At the Spending Review on 27 October 2021, we announced that we are investing additional funding for the early years entitlements worth £160 million in the 2022-23 financial year, £180 million in 2023-24 and £170 million in 2024-25, compared to the current year. This is for local authorities to increase hourly rates paid to childcare providers for the government’s free childcare entitlement offers and reflects cost pressures as well as anticipated changes in the number of eligible children.</p><p>As a result of this additional funding, for 2022-23 we will increase the hourly funding rates for all local authorities by 21p an hour for the two-year-old entitlement and, for the vast majority of areas, by 17p an hour for the three and four-year-old entitlement. We are also increasing the minimum funding floor, meaning no council can receive less than £4.61 per hour for the three and four-year-old entitlements.</p><p>We continue to work with the early years sector and officials from the department are in regular telephone and email contact with Early Years Leads in all local authorities in England, including Enfield and the other 32 boroughs in the London region, to understand how they can best be supported to ensure that sufficient safe, appropriate and affordable childcare is available for those who need it now, and for all families who need it in the longer term.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 15/12/2021 16:10:53 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
