From the following year, students starting a new study programme with a GCSE grade 3/D (or equivalent) in English and/or maths had to enrol on GCSE courses only. From August 2019, students starting a new or continuing an existing study programme with a GCSE grade 2 (or equivalent) or below can study towards a pass in Functional Skills Level 2 or they can still study towards a GCSE grade 4 to 9. Those with a grade 3 (or equivalent) must still study GCSE only.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 answer text <p>Action to avert, minimize and address loss and damage associated with climate change is intricately bound up with action on mitigation, adaptation, disaster risk reduction and disaster preparedness and response. We therefore do not see that attempting to define a separate category of finance for loss and damage as useful or practical. Of the £5.8bn on climate finance we have committed to spend from 2016-2021 the UK aims to spend 50% on adaptation and 50% on mitigation.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 21/05/2019 16:48:42 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 answer text <p>The NHS Business Services Authority collects data on the number of dentists (performers) who provide some National Health Service primary care dental services in each financial year. This data includes information on leavers and joiners. Leavers are defined as dentists who performed NHS activity in one year but then recorded no activity in the following year and Joiners are defined dentists who recorded NHS activity in the later year but who did not record NHS activity in the previous year. The information requested on NHS-registered dental practitioners ceasing to provide NHS services for the last 10 years is attached. Most dentists (associates) work on NHS contracts held by other dentists with NHS England.</p><p>No information is held on the reasons for an individual dentist leaving an NHS contract. Where the dentist is a contract holder the funding returns to NHS England and it is able to re-let the contract. Where the dentist is working on a contract as an associate the contract holder will seek to recruit a replacement dentist. Overall in the last year for which data is available, 2017/18 total numbers of dentists providing some NHS service increased.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy grouped question UIN 255312 question first answered 21/05/2019 16:10:13 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy attachment 1 file name PQ255310 table formatted.xlsx title NHS Dentists Ceasing NHS Services 2007-2018
