The Government will publish its response to the consultation in due course.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 23/04/2024 15:29:37 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

NHS England has also formed an expert group to consider a pathway for hepato-pancreato-biliary cancers, including pancreatic cancer.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 23/04/2024 13:24:05 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

	uin	22738
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2024 answer text <p>The NHS Pension Scheme is generous, and provides good pensions for retirement. A new reformed scheme was introduced in 2015, to ensure the costs are sustainable for the future. The reforms included linking scheme retirement age to an individual’s state pension age, in response to people living healthier, longer lives.</p><p>Individuals can claim their National Health Service pension earlier than their state pension age, although their benefits will be reduced in value, to account for the fact that they are being paid for longer. This reduction is waived when the scheme accepts a claim for early retirement on ill-health grounds. Where an NHS pension is claimed after state pension age, the reverse applies, and the value of benefits will be increased. The scheme also offers a partial retirement option, which allows staff to draw down all or part of their pension, and continue working in a more flexible way.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 23/04/2024 13:53:43 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2024 answer text <p>The Skills Electrification Project was part of the Emerging Skills Projects, which were pilot projects funded by the department to identify future skills needs and develop high-quality modular courses to help address future skills gaps in key sectors. The Skills Electrification Project, as well as the other emerging skills projects, were developed and run by the Advanced Manufacturing Catapult and completed in March 2022.</p><p> </p><p>The department recognises the changing nature of skills needs, the importance of emerging skills such as electrification and assesses skills needs for such sectors. For example, the National Grid estimates the electricity network workforce will grow by 400,000 roles by 2050. This includes 260,000 brand new roles, and 140,000 to replace natural attrition such as retirement. This is on top of the existing shortage of crucial workers in the sector.</p><p> </p><p>To help meet those needs there are three apprenticeship standards that directly serve the electricity networks sector: community energy specialist (Level 4), building energy management systems (Level 4) and power networks craftsperson (Level 3).</p><p> </p><p>Free Courses for Jobs also offers a range of qualifications in electrical disciplines, as well as digital engineering and electrotechnical installation.</p><p> </p><p>T Levels in engineering and construction teach young people some of the skills that are crucial to the growth of the UK’s energy networks. Relevant T Levels in engineering, manufacturing, and construction can lead to crucial occupations such as civil engineering technician, electrical engineering technician and technical surveyor.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 23/04/2024 12:56:44 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
