This includes wet wipes.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is working with the water industry and wet wipe manufacturers to prevent wet wipes entering our waterways and damaging our marine environment. I hosted a cross industry wet wipes roundtable in November 2016, to tackle the issue of wipes being incorrectly flushed and causing sewer blockages. Following the meeting, revised wet wipe industry guidance requires a ‘Do Not Flush’ label to be displayed far more prominently on non-flushable wipes.</p><p> </p><p>We support the water industry’s ongoing work on their voluntary ‘Fine to Flush’ label, to ensure that any wipes which are marked as being ‘flushable’, are plastic free and are truly flushable, meaning they can enter the sewage system without causing blockages or harming the environment. We are actively encouraging the water and wet wipe industries to work together to develop an agreed ‘flushability’ standard for those wipes that are intended for disposal via toilets.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 25/03/2019 10:05:50 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2019 answer text <p>Good progress is being made towards the children and young people’s eating disorder waiting time target. October to December 2018 data shows 80.7% of young people started treatment for an urgent case within one week against a target of 95%, and 86.8% of young people started treatment for a routine case within four weeks against a target of 95%.</p><p> </p><p>For adults, the NHS Long Term Plan commits to “test four-week waiting times for adult and older adult community mental health teams, with selected local areas”. The exact scope and timelines of these pilots are yet to be finalised but NHS England will also consider the interfaces with specialist community mental health services, particularly where there is an existing evidence base for rapid direct access, such as adult eating disorder services.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is aware of the importance of increasing the number of people working in mental health services and has made an assessment of the workforce needed to deliver timely access to mental health care. In 2017 Health Education England published ‘Stepping forward to 2020/21: The mental health workforce plan for England’, which set our ambition to deliver 21,000 new posts, to be filled by 19,000 additional staff.</p><p> </p><p>The Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care asked Baroness Dido Harding to develop a Workforce Implementation Plan for the commitments set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.</p><p> </p><p>This Interim Workforce Plan will be published in spring and will include an immediate 2019/20 action plan together with a more detailed vision of how the health and care workforce will transform over the next 10 years to deliver 21st century care for our patients. The plan will build on work already underway to recruit, train and importantly retain more staff to address our most immediate shortages.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 25/03/2019 13:35:50 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
