	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2019 answer text <p>Following US cuts in 2018, the international community was able to step up and meet the shortfall, allowing UNRWA to continue to provide essential basic services to Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. However, we recognise that these refugee populations need UNRWA be on a more secure financial footing. To that end, the UK is working with UNRWA and other donors to ensure its sustainability. This includes finding further cost savings reforms, diversifying donor income, and encouraging multi-year funding commitments. The UK is a leading donor to UNRWA and I am proud to confirm that we plan to provide up to £80m to UNRWA over the next two years.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 19/03/2019 16:26:52 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2015 answer text <p>Local authorities are already working with their local health service partners towards ensuring appropriate 7 day 24 hour social work cover. Out of hours social services and emergency duty services are already in place and some local authorities are employing social workers along with occupational therapists to work at weekends to manage safe hospital discharge and other requirements such as equipment provision, to ensure people have appropriate and timely support to leave hospital.</p><br /><p>We recognise that providing high quality urgent and emergency services seven days a week requires far more than just doctors to be present, and that nurses, diagnostic staff, and other allied health professionals all play an invaluable role in caring for patients. It will be for local providers and their Local Education and Training Boards to develop workforce plans for delivering seven day services in hospitals which will make the best use of staff skills and expertise. While there may be additional staff needed, we are working with NHS England to make sure we have the workforce we need, including looking at new working patterns and roles such as physician associates.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 03/12/2015 17:09:37 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2016 answer text <p>The Government is committed to making the full £1.4 billion investment available over the course of this Parliament to improve mental health services for children and young people.</p><p> </p><p>In line with guidance published by NHS England, all clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) have produced Local Transformation Plans (LTPs) for children and young people’s mental health and these have all now been assured and funding allocated for implementation. These plans required all key partners to agree locally how best to meet the mental health needs of children and young people in their local populations and should cover the whole spectrum of need, which includes improving access to mental health services for vulnerable groups such children in care and care leavers so that they can receive high quality mental health care when they need it. It is for local partners to decide how much of the funding which will be allocated to CCGs to improve local services throughout the five years will be spent specifically on children in care and other vulnerable groups. However, this will be based on an assessment of local needs and set out in the LTPs.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s overall strategy to improve outcomes for care leavers is set out in the <em>Care Leaver Strategy: A cross-departmental strategy for young people leaving care</em> report (October 2013), and a one-year-on document, <em>Care Leaver Strategy: One year on progress update</em>, (October 2014) that reported on progress made and set out how the Government intends to further improve support for care leavers. The Government intends to publish its refreshed Care Leaver Strategy later this year.</p><p> </p><p>The Local Government Association has produced a spreadsheet giving details of every LTP which can be found using the following webpage address:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.local.gov.uk/camhs" target="_blank">www.local.gov.uk/camhs</a></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 10/02/2016 14:52:04 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2016 answer text <p><em>Future in mind, </em>the report of the Children and Young People’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Taskforce, recognised that transition at 18 years of age is not always appropriate and that there should be flexibility around age boundaries, in which transition is based on individual circumstances, rather than absolute age, with joint working and shared practice between services to promote continuity of care.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has acknowledged that the transition for young people into adult mental health services can undoubtedly be challenging, particularly if a young person has been receiving support from children’s mental health services for some time. In January 2015, NHS England published new service specifications for commissioners, giving guidance and best practice on transition from children and adolescent mental health services to adult services (or elsewhere). These specifications intentionally do not stipulate an age threshold for transition (for example, 18) but state that transition should be built around the needs of the individual.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 10/02/2016 14:48:13 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
