	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2018 answer text <p>So called 'honour-based' violence, including Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and forced marriage, is a terrible form of abuse, and this Government is clear that we will not allow political or cultural sensitivities to get in the way of tackling it. Work to tackle these crimes is an integral part of our cross-Government Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategy, published last year.</p><p> </p><p>The NHS FGM Enhanced Dataset provides information on the number of women and girls with FGM who are being cared for by the NHS in England and has been published quarterly and annually by NHS Digital since 2014. A detailed breakdown of these statistics by local authority, age at which FGM was carried out and country where FGM was undertaken is available online at <a href="http://content.digital.nhs.uk/fgm" target="_blank">http://content.digital.nhs.uk/fgm</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The joint Foreign &amp; Commonwealth Office and Home Office Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) operates a public helpline to provide advice and support to victims of forced marriage as well as to professionals dealing with cases. Statistics on the number of cases dealt with by the FMU are published annually, including a breakdown by region and age and are available online at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/forced-marriage#statistics-on-forced-marriage-collected-by-fmu" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/forced-marriage#statistics-on-forced-marriage-collected-by-fmu</a>. The statistics are available for the region of London. However, they cannot be broken down into specific London boroughs for data protection reasons. For example, the number of cases from a specific borough may be low enough to allow a victim to be identified, and the FMU must safeguard those it supports.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 11/04/2018 09:42:26 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	uin	134763
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2018 answer text <p>It is not possible to disaggregate all funding for tackling knife crime as it is provided through a number of routes. This includes funding for police forces in England and Wales and our overall investment in policing will grow from £11.9 billion in 2015/16 to around £13 billion in 2018/19. Our work to tackle knife crime has been taken forward through the Ending Gang and Youth Violence programme and the subsequent Ending Gang Violence and Exploitation programme.</p><p>In October 2017, we launched our anti-knife crime Community Fund through which we awarded £765,000 to 47 successful projects to support local communities tackle knife crime, and we announced in March up to a £1million for a new round of the Community Fund in 2018/19 and this will be launched later this Spring. We have also just launched a new £1.3 million national media campaign under the banner of #knifefree which is aimed at 10 -21 years old and is aimed at bringing home the consequences of carrying a knife and to inspire young people to take up more positive activities.</p><p>On 9 April, we published the Serious Violence Strategy to take action to address serious violence and in particular the recent increases in knife crime, gun crime and homicide. The strategy represents a step change in the way we think and respond to serious violence. Our approach is not solely focused on law enforcement, very important as that is, but depends also on partnerships across a number of sectors such as education, health, social services, housing, youth services, victim services and others.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 16/04/2018 16:30:21 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2017 answer text <p>The Department currently has no plans to change the list of medical conditions which provide for exemption from prescription charges because arrangements exist to ensure that prescriptions are affordable for everyone. A broad range of prescription charge exemptions are in place for those on low incomes or receiving benefits, for which someone with a long-term condition may qualify. To support those with greatest need who do not qualify for an exemption, prescription prepayment certificates are available. A holder of a 12 month certificate can get all the prescriptions they need for just £2 per week.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 17/10/2017 16:46:08 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
