answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>Diagnosing and treating eating disorders is an important area of medical practice. It is included within the curriculum for training all doctors, including for general practitioners, and in more depth within training for psychiatry, particularly child and adolescent psychiatrists.</p><p>The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee’s report following up the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s report, ‘Ignoring the alarms: How NHS eating disorder services are failing patients’, published on 18 June, made recommendations on the education and training of doctors in treating patients with eating disorders. The Government will consider these recommendations with Health Education England, the General Medical Council and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and will respond to the Committee’s report in due course.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 24/06/2019 16:42:38 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the financial sustainability of children’s hospices.
tabling member constituency	East Ham
tabling member printed	Stephen Timms
uin	266060
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>No recent assessment has been made. The vast majority of hospices were established from charitable and philanthropic donations and are therefore primarily charity-funded and independently run. However, they receive some statutory funding from clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and the Government for providing local services. The amount of funding is a local matter.</p><p><br> On average, adult hospices received approximately 30% of their overall funding from National Health Service sources. Proportionally less public funding is received by children’s hospices than adult hospices, and this amounts to around 15%, and this is largely due to differences in their development and non-clinical care they provide.</p><p> </p><p>To compensate for the lower levels of statutory funding children’s hospices receive, NHS England manages the Children’s Hospice Grant, which is awarded and administered annually. The Children’s Hospice Grant will provide a contribution of £12 million in 2019/20.</p><p><br> As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, NHS England committed to increase its contribution to children’s palliative care over the next five years by match funding CCGs who commit to increase their investment in local children’s palliative and end of life care services including children’s hospices. Subject to CCGs increasing investment, NHS England will match this by up to £7 million a year by 2023/24. This increase is in addition to the Children’s Hospice Grant. We would expect hospices to be significant beneficiaries of the additional funding, and in many areas, children’s hospices are the main providers of children’s palliative and end of life care services.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 24/06/2019 15:26:44 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are responsible for commissioning non-specialised mental health services for all age groups in their local populations.</p><p>The Government continues to ensure that the National Health Service invests more in mental health both through significant central investments as part of the NHS Long Term Plan and through the Mental Health Investment Standard (MHIS). This standard requires CCGs to increase investment in mental health services in line with overall increase in funding. In 2018/19, it is expected all CCGs will achieve the MHIS level of investment.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 24/06/2019 16:41:50 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>Children’s hospices receive some statutory funding from clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and the Government for providing local services. The amount of funding is locally determined, and NHS England does not centrally collect data on this.</p><p>Children’s hospices receive around 15% from National Health Service sources. NHS England manages the Children’s Hospice Grant, which is awarded and administered annually. The grant is a contribution towards the operating costs of the hospices, not core funding for NHS services, for which the statutory responsibility resides with local commissioners.</p><p>The following table shows the amount awarded under the Children’s Hospice Grant in the past five years.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Grant amount awarded</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>£11,000,000.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>£11,000,000.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>£11,000,000.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>£11,000,000.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019/20</p></td><td><p>£12,000,000,00</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, NHS England committed to increase its contribution to children’s palliative care over the next five years by match funding CCGs who commit to increase their investment in local children’s palliative and end of life care services; including children’s hospices.

This increase is in addition to the Children’s Hospice Grant, which provides an annual baseline contribution of £11 million. NHS England estimates that full match funding should more than double the additional NHS support from £11 million to a combined total of £25 million a year by 2023/24.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England is currently establishing financial reporting systems to monitor the baseline investment of CCGs in children’s palliative and end of life care services.
