DFID will support nursing provision through our new health partnerships programme, which includes £5 million of grants to train and upskill nurses and midwives specifically. DFID also assists countries to invest in their health workers to improve health services. For example, we have supported over 7,000 nurses and midwives in Kenya to be trained in emergency obstetric and new-born care which has led to a 10% reduction in maternal deaths.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 18/06/2019 14:52:56 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

The first aims for 95% of children (up to 19 years old) with eating disorders to receive treatment within a week for urgent cases and four weeks for routine cases. The second is that 50% of patients experiencing a first episode of psychosis receive treatment within two weeks of referral.</p><p>In the Children and Young People’s Green Paper published jointly with the Department for Education, we also announced a four week waiting time to improve access to National Health Service mental health services, which we are rolling out in a number of trailblazer areas as a pilot, alongside the new mental health support teams, with a view to rolling out waiting times nationally.</p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan goes further with the goal of an extra 345,000 children and young people aged 0 -25 receiving support via NHS-funded mental health services by 2023/24. This includes a one hour target for young people arriving in accident and emergency experiencing a mental health crisis to be given an assessment.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 20/06/2019 14:43:31 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has confirmed that local authorities will continue to commission sexual health, school nurses and health visitors. The review found that local authorities take an active and efficient approach to commissioning services and recognised the steps that local authorities have taken to improve and modernise the services they commission. The review recommended that the National Health Service work much more closely with local authorities on public health so that commissioning is more joined-up and prevention is embedded into a wider range of health services. The Department will be seeking views in the forthcoming Prevention Green Paper about how action can be taken forward.</p><p>My Rt. hon.
