question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of the liquidation of Carillion on their facilities management contract at the British Museum; whether that contract included clauses to deal with potential liquidation; whether there are plans to bring that work back in-house; and if he will make a statement.

uin	131884
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2018 answer text <p>Our assessment is that the liquidation of Carillion will require British Museum to replace their former facilities management (FM) contract with a revised strategy which continues to maintain uninterrupted and resilient operations. We have not seen, and would not expect to see, the terms of the museum's contract with Carillion, but it is likely that such clauses exist. At present services continue to be run by the Official Receiver post liquidation. The museum is currently exploring short-term outsourced solutions to transition itself away from Official Receiver reliance, and is separately planning its long-term response to ensure that it has a robust and resilience FM service.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 20/03/2018 16:08:37 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2018 answer text <p>In line with Cabinet Office best practice and the provisions contained within the contract, Capita are obliged to flow down all terms to their approved subcontractors, unless otherwise agreed with the Authority.</p><p> </p><p>In the case of the Bridge contract there is a more stringent service level between the MoJ and Capita than Capita and its subcontractor, G4S. Procedures are in place to manage this discrepancy and the MoJ does not receive a lower level of service for agreeing this.</p><p> </p><p>Under the Capita subcontract with Vodafone as part of the Electronic Monitoring and Field Services Contract, Capita and MoJ agreed an exemption from the obligation to flow down terms in relation to maintenance timescales, however this does not impact Capita’s obligations to MoJ or the service it provides.</p><p> </p><p>While it is best practice to flow down all terms there are instances where doing so proves unrealistic and counterproductive. The decision to waive this obligation is made on the basis of risk and cost to all parties.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 19/03/2018 16:21:44 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to providing good quality eating disorder services for both children and adults.</p><p> </p><p>For children and young people aged between eight and 18 years, the Government is investing £150 million (£30 million per year) to develop 70 new or expanded community eating disorder services and staff. This means at least 3,350 children and young people a year will receive swift, effective eating disorder treatment in the community — for many this will mean they will be treated earlier and no longer need to go into hospital.</p><p> </p><p>To understand better whether children and young people are receiving the care they need through to adulthood and to incentivise local services to improve care for young people reaching adulthood, NHS England has set up and is monitoring a Commissioning for Quality and Innovation scheme (CQUIN) for individuals transferring from children and young people’s mental health care to adult mental care which will span from 2017 to 2019. CQUIN incentivises commissioners to deliver clinical quality improvements and drive transformational change.</p><p> </p><p>To further improve adult eating disorder care a pathway, together with detailed implementation guidance for providers, is under development by the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health in partnership with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The pathway is being fully informed by the available evidence and the views of experts and will increase healthcare professionals’ awareness of the early signs and symptoms of eating disorders so that they are able to refer without delay.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 19/03/2018 15:39:49 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
