answer text <p>The Department for Work and Pensions has not commissioned any such research. The Department’s published Household Below Average Income National Statistics shows that work continues to offer people the best opportunity to get out of poverty and become self-reliant; adults of working age living in working families are 4 times less likely to be in relative poverty than those living in workless households.</p><p>The National Statistics also provide a good understanding of those in in-work poverty and show that the majority (around three-quarters) are those with part-time work only, single earner couples, or those in full-time self-employment. Universal Credit is designed to help by promoting full-time work, employment for partners where possible, and smoother incentives to increase hours. Claimants who are self-employed will have access to mentors to improve their businesses so that they can increase their earnings.</p> more like this

answer text <p>At last year’s Family Planning Summit in London, we announced £30m over 3 years to enable the Global Financing Facility to pilot innovative financing mechanisms. This investment will increase domestic and private sector resources for sexual and reproductive health and rights. It will save lives and enable women and girls to thrive, helping transform their countries. Decisions about potential future support will be taken in due course.</p> more like this

answer text <p>NHS England has advised that the joint clinical working group has agreed that National Health Service clinical commissioners will reiterate to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) by the end of July 2018 that the intention of the guidance was to end the routine prescription of liothyronine only where it was clinically appropriate to do so.</p><p>CCGs are accountable to NHS England, which has a key role to ensure that they, as statutory organisations, deliver the best possible services and outcomes for patients within their financial allocation. Where there are concerns about CCGs failing or at risk of failing to discharge its functions, NHS England has the ability to exercise formal powers to either provide an enhanced support to a CCG, or in rare circumstances to intervene. Although the Department ultimately holds NHS England to account for its commissioning activity, including that of CCGs, the Health and Social Care Act 2012 ensures commissioning activity meets the requirements of each local area.</p>
