answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government recognises that the community-led housing sector – of which community land trusts and cohousing initiatives are important parts – offers significant potential for helping to meet housing need across England. In addition to helping increase the rate of delivery of new housing, it will help deliver a range of benefits including diversifying the housebuilding sector, improving design and construction quality, developing modern methods of construction, and sustaining local communities and local economies. The support and close involvement of the local community enables the community-led approach to secure planning permission and deliver housing that could not be brought forward through speculative development.</p><p>The Community Housing Fund aims to support an increase in housing supply in England by increasing the number of additional homes delivered by the community-led housing sector; to provide housing that is affordable at local income levels and remains so in perpetuity; and to deliver a lasting legacy for the community-led housing sector in the form of an effective and financially self-sustaining body of expertise within the house building industry in England.</p><p>The Community Housing Fund is currently scheduled to close in March 2020. While the programme was launched relatively recently, there is still time for many community-led schemes to access funding and deliver housing, although we appreciate that this will be more difficult for new schemes. All proposals to extend the scheme beyond March 2020 will be given due consideration but decisions on funding for 2020-21 onwards are a matter for the Spending Review, which is due to take place this year.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 04/09/2019 12:36:57 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

The working together to safeguard children guidance is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-together-to-safeguard-children--2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-together-to-safeguard-children--2</a>.</p><p>In September 2018, the Home Office published updated guidance 'Criminal Exploitation of children and vulnerable adults: County Lines guidance'. This guidance is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/criminal-exploitation-of-children-and-vulnerable-adults-county-lines" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/criminal-exploitation-of-children-and-vulnerable-adults-county-lines</a>.</p><p>Both pieces of guidance were published on the GOV.UK website and to support this, were promoted to local authorities through a variety of channels including:</p><ul><li>English local authority communications team;</li><li>Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s (MHCLG) e-bulletin to local authority CEOs;</li><li>The Society of Local Authorities’ Chief Executives bulletin;</li><li>The Association of Directors of Children’s Services bulletin;</li><li>The Association of Directors of Adults Social Services;</li><li>The National Association of Head Teachers website;</li><li>The Association of School and College Leaders website; and</li><li>NHS England.</li></ul><p>The updated county lines guidance was also shared with police forces and Police and Crime Commissioners to share with their local stakeholders. ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children' was also shared with the National Police Chiefs’ Council, and other key organisations including:</p><ul><li>The Local Government Association;</li><li>The Association of Independent Local Safeguarding Children Board Chairs;</li><li>The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health,</li><li>The Royal College of Nursing;</li><li>Barnardo’s;</li><li>The National Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Children; and</li><li>Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary of Fire and Rescue Services.</li></ul><p>Funding for children’s services sits with local authorities as part of their main un-ringfenced budgets, so they have the flexibility to decide how to spend it to best meet local needs, including on any training arrangements for professionals working to safeguard children and young people.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what research his Department has (a) commissioned and (b) evaluated on the potential effect of loneliness and social isolation on recovery rates from (i) cardiovascular disease, (ii) cancer and (iii) mental health conditions.

uin	282221
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2019 answer text <p>The Department is investing over £1 billion a year in health research through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The NIHR’s research programmes provide a flexible source of funding. Applications are welcome for research into any aspect of human health, including research on the potential effect of loneliness and social isolation on recovery from Cardiovascular disease, cancer and mental health conditions; it is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality.</p><p> </p><p>The NIHR funds a number of research projects exploring the potential effect of loneliness and social isolation on recovery rates from cardiovascular disease, cancer and mental health conditions. Studies range in their focus, from specific vulnerable groups such as the elderly, those with mental health conditions or learning disabilities to the wider impact of social isolation and loneliness on an individual’s physical and mental health and well-being. The NIHR is funding two large studies focussing on improving the quality of life for people with serious mental health conditions, for example a £2.7 million study which includes testing a targeted, intervention to expand social networks of patients with psychosis and a £3.95 million study on immersive virtual reality as a treatment to help individuals with schizophrenia safely and confidently enter everyday situations. A current trial is testing an intervention to improve the physical and mental health outcomes for people who may be isolated due to a range of physical, psychological and social factors. Other studies, whose primary focus is not loneliness or social isolation, explore the effects of these within a broader context, for example a current study is researching the specific late effects of chemotherapy (such as hearing loss) and the associate impact on quality of life, including social isolation.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 04/09/2019 16:05:43 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
