answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>Some young people need ongoing support into young adulthood, after they leave children and young people’s mental health services. This point of transition is an important stage for young people, and it is not always easy.</p><p> </p><p>That is why, in January 2015, NHS England published a Model Specification for Transitions from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, to support better transition planning and delivery by local providers. Transition from children and young people’s mental health services has also been included as one of 13 mandatory national indicators in the Commissioning for Quality and Innovation scheme, 2017/19, which offers financial incentives to local areas to encourage improved transition planning for children and young people.</p><p> </p><p>To address issues of transition, some areas have already adopted a mental health service which supports young people from ages 0-25.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 05/11/2018 15:48:05 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) centrally procures flu vaccines for the children’s national flu immunisation programme, these being the nasal spray Fluenz Tetra supplied by AstraZeneca and a quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine supplied by Sanofi Pasteur. This programme provides influenza vaccination for children between the ages of two and 17 years of age. If the Fluenz Tetra nasal spray is unsuitable, children are offered the quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine as an alternative. Other vulnerable groups are offered alternative vaccines that are more effective in protecting them against influenza.</p><p> </p><p>Sufficient vaccine has been procured to ensure that all eligible children who present at general practices and schools for vaccination can be offered the appropriate vaccine. Stocks are carefully managed by PHE to ensure there is equitable distribution across England, including the Stroud constituency, and sufficient in-date vaccine for patients who present throughout the season.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 05/11/2018 15:33:22 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
