	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>The Government recognises that the provision of high quality,impartial, information and advice in England is an important service which older people, and their relatives and carers should have access to in order to make informed choices. The Department of Health and Social Care has set out that one of the key principles that will guide thinking ahead of the Social Care Green Paper is control. This involves ensuring that individuals and families have the ability to direct the support they receive, the autonomy to lead the lives they want, and access to reliable information.</p><p>On 28 March, we announced our plans to implement the majority of the Law Commission’s recommendations to reform event fees in leasehold retirement properties. One of the key requirements of these recommendations is a statutorily backed requirement to ensure consumers have the necessary information to make an informed choice when purchasing their retirement property.( <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-03-28/HCWS1466" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-03-28/HCWS1466</a>)</p><p>My Department published the revised National Planning Policy Framework in July 2018 and this specifies that local planning authorities are expected to have planning policies which identify the size, type and tenure of homes needed for different groups in the community including older people. We will shortly be publishing further guidance to help councils put these policies in place. My Department, together with Department of Health and Social Care, also grant funds new supply of supported housing (with 34,000 new units delivered since 2011) including for older vulnerable people. With our announcement last year that funding for housing costs for supported accommodation would continue to be paid through Housing Benefit, we are putting in place the right funding and oversight environment which will give confidence to investors and to the sector, to continue to develop new supply of supported housing.</p> question first answered 09/05/2019 13:24:22

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>Influenza vaccination is offered to those at higher risk from flu, including older people, pregnant women, and those with certain underlying medical conditions. Based on advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, the range of recommended flu vaccines for different patient groups has been extended for 2019/20 and these should provide better protection.</p><p>Since 2013/14, the flu vaccination to children has been introduced in a phased roll-out. This programme provides protection to the children themselves and reduces flu transmission. In 2019/20 the programme will be extended to Year 6 school children, so for the first time in England all primary school aged children will be offered vaccination, as well as two and three year olds.</p><p>Vaccination is also recommended for frontline health and social care workers to reduce transmission of flu to those they care for.</p> question first answered 09/05/2019 15:56:06
