	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government does not consider that there is a requirement for national financial incentives as undergraduate medicine is a competitive subject to gain entry to. For 2018/19 entry, there were around three applicants to every place. Universities and medical schools may choose to offer local scholarships or financial awards to students which would cover or contribute to the cost of tuition fees. These may be targeted to students that are currently under-represented in medical education.</p><p>More generally, all higher education providers wishing to charge higher level fees must have an access and participation plan agreed with the Office for Students. In these plans, providers must set out the measures they intend to put in place to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds and under-represented groups to access and then successfully participate in higher education.</p><p>For the first four years of an undergraduate medical degree, eligible students can access from Student Finance England (SFE) tuition fee support, a loan for living costs and other supplementary grants if applicable. From the fifth year of their course, medical students are able to apply for the National Health Service bursary to help with tuition fees and living costs. They can also apply for a non-means tested reduced rate living cost loan from SFE in the fifth year of their course.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 02/05/2019 14:49:45 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2018 answer text <p>The Prime Minister has announced that the National Health Service budget will grow by over £20 billion a year in real terms by 2023-24. It is now up to NHS leaders to produce a new ten-year plan, led by clinicians, professionals and supported by local health and care systems across the country. The final settlement will be confirmed at a future fiscal event, subject to a plan that delivers the efficiency, productivity, and performance improvements necessary to address the long-term cost pressures highlighted by the Office for Budget Responsibility.</p><p> </p><p>As the Prime Minister set out, some of this funding will be paid for by us no longer having to send annual membership subscriptions to the European Union after we have left. The commitment the Government is making goes beyond this, and so the Prime Minister has been clear that taxpayers will have to make a greater contribution, in a fair and balanced way. The Government will listen to views about how we do this and the Chancellor will set out the details in due course.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 24/07/2018 15:17:34 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to reinstate the bursaries for nursing degrees and is committed to increasing uptake of the additional places these reforms have made available.</p><p> </p><p>The intention of the funding reforms was to unlock the cap which constrained the number of pre-registration nursing training places, and to allow more students to gain access to nurse degree training courses, creating a sustainable model for universities and securing the future supply of homegrown nurses to the National Health Service. In support of the reforms, we announced additional clinical placement funding to make available 5,000 more nurse training places each year from September 2018 and 3,000 more midwifery training places over the next four years.</p><p> </p><p>Students on the loans system are at least 25% better off than they were under the previous bursary system. In recognition of the additional costs that the healthcare students incur in order to attend the mandatory clinical placement, the Government introduced the Learning Support Fund, a £1,000 per student, per year for child dependent allowance, reimbursement of all travel costs above their usual daily travel and up to £3,000 per year for exceptional hardship. These payments are in addition to the allowances on the student loans system.</p><p> </p><p>On 7 February, the University and College Admissions Service published full-time undergraduate nursing and midwifery applications made by the 15 January deadline. This data showed a 4.5% increase in applicants to undergraduate nursing and midwifery courses at English providers. We are working with Health Education England and the university sector to ensure students continue to apply for these courses this year and in future years.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 07/03/2019 11:57:19 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
