	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 04/06/2018 answer text <p>The average waiting time for a general practitioner (GP) appointment is not collected or held centrally. NHS England is working with NHS Digital to consider ways of improving the availability and quality of GP data, including waiting times. In the 2017 GP patient survey 70.8% of respondents (who could remember whether or not they were able to get an appointment, and when they wanted the appointment) stated they saw or spoke to someone at a time they wanted to or sooner. The latest National Health Service planning guidance, issued by NHS England in February 2018, requires clinical commissioning groups to provide extended access to general practice to their whole population by 1 October 2018, to ensure additional capacity is in place ahead of winter 2018.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 04/06/2018 14:10:39 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
