For National Health Service trusts, these inspections will usually be unannounced.</p><p>In a few instances, where there are very good reasons, the CQC may let a service know it is coming. For example, the CQC may contact a trust to make sure senior management are present to answer its questions.</p><p>To enable the CQC to observe normal practice in a service, it has introduced more unannounced inspections as part of its comprehensive inspection methodology.</p><p>Because the CQC requests information from providers beforehand, it will carry out the inspection within three months of the provider submitting its provider information request. However, the CQC will not announce the day on which it intends to inspect.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 25/07/2019 16:45:37 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford attachment 1 file name HL17300 table formatted.docx title CAMHS Tier 4 inpatient inspections

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2019 answer text <p>The Department’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) budget for 2019/20 is just over £1 billion and welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health. The NIHR funds research projects, training and research infrastructure. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality.</p><p>The NIHR also is a co-funder of Health Data Research UK who are committed to uniting the United Kingdom’s health data to enable discoveries and ensure that every health and care interaction and research endeavour will be enhanced by access to large scale data and advanced analytics. The NIHR also supports a number of initiatives to help researchers to access health data, samples and to identify participants for research.</p><p>The future of budgets outside of the NHS England resource settlement, including capital budgets for research and development, will be confirmed later this year at the Spending Review 2019.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 25/07/2019 11:15:13 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
