As most bank accounts can be accessed at the Post Office, claimants can collect their payments that way. Since January, 99% of banks’ personal customers are able to withdraw cash, deposit cash and cheques, and make balance enquiries at a Post Office counter via its network of 11,600 branches. The Department also has arrangements in place to ensure that the majority of those who cannot access a bank account, can collect their State Pension at the Post Office using a Post Office card account.</p> answering member printed Baroness Buscombe question first answered 17/07/2018 13:23:09 answering member 3349 label Biography information for Baroness Buscombe

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government does hold the data requested. Domestic abuse is a life-shattering and abhorrent crime that nobody should have to suffer. The Government is committed to protecting victims of domestic abuse, and since 2015 we have provided almost £889,000 to Women’s Aid for two key projects, Routes to Support and No Woman Turned Away. Routes to Support (formerly UK Refuges online) is part-funded by the Government and is a UK-wide online database containing information about domestic abuse and other violence against women services. No Woman Turned Away provides caseworker support to women facing difficulties in accessing refuge. We are continuing to fund these vital projects in 2018/19.</p><p>We are also currently reviewing the provision of domestic abuse services, including refuge, in England. To inform our review, we have commissioned Ipsos MORI to run an audit of domestic abuse service delivery. This will give us a picture of provision across England, enabling us to understand what impact services are having and to identify gaps in provision.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 16/07/2018 15:58:55 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

	tabling member printed	Ms Harriet Harman
	uin	162950
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>As with the vast majority of NHS services, the funding and commissioning of palliative and end of life care is a local matter, over which individual clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) have responsibility. CCGs are best placed to understand the needs of local populations and commission services to meet those needs accordingly, and as such, decisions to fund an increase for palliative care services or hospice provision are for the local National Health Service.</p><p> </p><p>Much of the palliative care patients receive will be provided either in outpatient or community settings, by nurses, community teams or general practitioners (GPs) as part of general NHS services provision, rather than as an identified palliative care service. In such services, data are either not available or does not identify palliative treatment. In addition, social and voluntary sector organisations can provide additional support to patients and the end of life. Therefore, figures for the total cost of palliative care service for children nationally, or across boroughs, is not available.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage grouped question UIN 162951 162952 question first answered 16/07/2018 11:34:08 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
