uin	146871
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/05/2018 answer text <p>Since 2012 the National Survey of Bereaved People (VOICES) survey has provided valuable insight into the quality of care delivered to people in the last three months of their lives, highlighting variations in the quality of care delivered in different areas of the country and to different groups of patients. Following publication of the last set of survey results in June 2016, NHS England held a consultation on the future of the VOICES survey to seek views on the approach and relevance of the survey to ensure that it remained fit for purpose. Whilst the response showed that the VOICES survey remained a valuable tool, key amongst its findings were that the majority of respondents indicated that the VOICES survey would be more helpful if the sample size were made large enough to report at a local commissioner level.</p><p>Following this, work was undertaken to revise the survey and consider approaches to a larger sample size and then put in place arrangements to re-commission the VOICES survey. NHS England has been involved in discussions with the Office for National Statistics, which collects the death registration data used to identify survey recipients, about arrangements for access to the data for the new survey. Changes to the safeguarding arrangements on data-sharing, designed to ensure any concerns about care raised via the survey can be appropriately investigated, have resulted in delays to commencing the new VOICES survey. Work is ongoing to resolve this matter, and a timetable for the publication of the next survey cannot be provided at this time.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 25/05/2018 13:53:30 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2018 answer text <p>The Better Care Fund (BCF) is a universal policy for local authorities and clinical commissioning groups to pool budgets for the purposes of integrated care. Local areas develop BCF plans according to their local needs (including mental health), as outlined in the Integration and Better Care Fund Planning Requirements for 2017-19*. Plans are agreed locally by Health and Wellbeing Boards. Data is not collected centrally on how much BCF funding is used to address mental health needs.
