	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2014 answer text <p>In March 2014, my Rt. hon Friend the Secretary of State for Health issued a call to action to make the National Health Service the safest healthcare system in the world and achieve a three-year goal to halve avoidable harm and save 6,000 lives. The Sign up to Safety campaign embodies the ambition of the NHS to build a culture of safety, bringing together individuals and organisations with a contribution to make towards the patient safety goal. Elements of this campaign will focus on a reduction in avoidable harm that can lead to compensation claims. Organisations that sign up are setting out what they will do to strengthen patient safety, including a safety improvement plan which shows how their organisation intends to save lives and reduce harm for patients over the next three years. The NHS Litigation Authority (NHS LA) will support those organisations which have patient safety improvement plans that demonstrate a reduction in their higher volume, higher value claims.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The NHS LA also provides a safety and learning service to its members, sharing information on the learning from claims with individual trusts and across the NHS to support learning and improvements in safety, and reduce harm. It also incentivises members to reduce claims by rewarding safer organisations with fewer, less costly claims through reduced contributions.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 10/11/2014 11:58:40 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2014 answer text <p>The Government's self-financing settlement has given council landlords access to £2.8 billion additional borrowing and the freedom to plan their housing businesses for the long term. We have no plans to remove the limits on indebtedness whilst we are taking action to tackle the budget deficit inherited from the last Administration but we have been able to make available an additional £300 million borrowing over 2015/16 and 2016/17 and those councils that needed additional borrowing have now had two opportunties to bid for additional borrowing. I announced on 9 October that £178 million additional borrowing was still up for grabs in the second bidding round. We are now considering those bids. We have been able to extend this borrowing precisely because of the Government's long-term economic plan. More council housing has been built in the four years of this Government than in all the thirteen years of the last Administration combined.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 10/11/2014 16:32:02 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
