answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>The study reporting to the Secretary of State for Transport will evaluate the feasibility of reopening the line for freight and passengers, as part of a freight route across the Pennines. It will be commissioned by the Department for Transport working closely with Transport for the North (TfN) and funded from the Department’s existing resources. The cost is yet to be determined.</p><p> </p><p>The study will build on previous work commissioned by the local authorities and local campaign group. We expect to receive the results later this year in the form of a Strategic Outline Business Case and will then consider next steps with TfN. This is part of our new approach to rail enhancements to ensure we address the needs of passengers and freight, and that funding commitments appropriately reflect the stage of development of schemes. No decision has been taken on whether the full results will be published.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 06/03/2018 17:19:40 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their policy in relation to the integration of health and social care in England.
tabling member printed	Lord Greaves
uin	HL5622
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2018 answer text <p>Implemented since 2015/16, the Better Care Fund (BCF) is the first mandatory national programme for integrating health and social care. It requires local authorities and clinical commissioning groups to pool budgets for the purposes of integrated care. The BCF has helped to join up health and care services so people can manage their own health and wellbeing, and live independently in their communities for as long as possible.</p><p>Many local areas are developing more ambitious integrated health and care provision with a range of models including integrated provider models or devolved accountabilities as well as joint commissioning arrangements. They are doing this as part of the Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs). STPs bring National Health Service providers, commissioners, local authorities, and other health and care services together to propose how they, at local level, can improve the way that health and care is planned and delivered in a more person-centred and coordinated way.</p><p>The BCF and STP development have provided a foundation, but we want to do more to deliver joined up care and to encourage integrated approaches which are outlined in the integration and Better Care Fund Policy Framework 2017-19. For those STPs that are ready to go further and faster in delivering the transformation that we want to see, they can evolve to become an Integrated Care System (ICS). ICSs will provide joined up, better coordinated care that can keep people healthier for longer, and out of hospital. To enable this, NHS England and NHS Improvement will offer them far more control and freedom over the total operations of the health system in their area.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 05/03/2018 17:45:48 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
