answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2018 answer text <p>28,040 individuals were in receipt of a personal health budget as of 2017-18 Q4.</p><p>In terms of the total cost of personal health budgets for each of the last three years, these figures are not held centrally, as it is clinical commissioning groups who have the duty to commission and deliver personal health budgets.</p><p>Personal health budgets use existing National Health Service money that would already have been spent on an individual, in a different way that meets the individual’s identified health needs. Evidence suggests that at worst, personal health budgets are cost-neutral, whilst demonstrating an ability to improve outcomes and enhance quality of life.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 14/06/2018 12:45:29 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2018 answer text <p>NHS Digital’s Personal Social Services Survey of Adult Carers in England is a national survey that seeks opinions of carers aged 18 or over supported by local authorities. In 2016/17 a question was added to the survey to examine the impact on carers’ health.</p><p> </p><p>Results showed that nearly 20% of carers reported that in the last 12 months, their health had been adversely affected by their caring role and made an existing condition worse.</p><p> </p><p>The carers survey asks a range of questions linked to carers’ wellbeing. Its main overarching measure of wellbeing is carer-reported quality of life. In 2016-17, carer-reported quality of life score was 7.7 out of 12 in England. This is calculated by combining individual responses to six questions asked in the survey on occupation, control, personal care, safety, social participation and encouragement and support of carers. This measure has been falling over time from 8.1 in 2012-13, to 7.9 in 2014-15 to 7.7 in 2016-17.</p><p> </p><p>The Department will monitor these figures as a time series develops in future years.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to continuing to support carers to provide care as they would wish, and to do so in a way that supports their own health and wellbeing, employment and other life chances. On 5 June, the Government published the Carers Action Plan which sets out a cross-Government programme of targeted work to support carers over the next two years.</p><p> </p><p>National Health Service mental health services are available for people with poor mental health, including carers, with the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme providing treatment for adult anxiety disorders and depression in England. One IAPT service for in North Somerset has helped more than 500 carers with therapy and support since launching three years ago.</p><p> </p><p>The Carers Action Plan highlights further activity that the Department and its arm’s length bodies are putting in place to improve support for carers who need support with their mental health. This includes Public Health England’s intention to run a national public mental health campaign to help people become informed about factors that may influence their mental health, including being a carer, as well as the recent Green Paper, Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health, which was published in December 2017 and which recognises the mental health needs of young carers.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 14/06/2018 11:42:43 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

tabling member constituency	Lincoln
tabling member printed	Karen Lee
uin	151249
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2018 answer text <p>The £75 million announced in April for prostate cancer research will be spent through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) over the next five years. This investment will continue to fund and support innovative new research within the NIHR’s research infrastructure, particularly the NIHR Biomedical Research Centres. It will also fund the NIHR Clinical Research Network to support delivery and recruitment into prostate cancer research and trials funded by partner research funders including charities; and fund prostate cancer research projects and trials under the NIHR research programmes such as the Health Technology Assessment programme.</p><p> </p><p>High-quality research proposals on prostate cancer are welcome across all relevant NIHR funding streams. We anticipate that researchers will continue to submit such proposals. As with other Government funders of health research, the NIHR does not allocate funding for specific disease areas. The level of research spend in a particular area, such as prostate cancer, is driven by factors including scientific potential and the number and scale of successful funding applications.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 14/06/2018 10:51:42 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
