In the NHS context, health and other related services are commissioned by public bodies – NHS England, clinical commissioning groups and local authorities. Providers, including lead providers, may be NHS (i.e. NHS trusts and foundation trusts) or non-NHS bodies.</p><p><em> </em></p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 19/06/2019 15:33:45 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2019 answer text <p>Mechanisms are in place for residents of care homes and their families to report abuse.</p><p>Under the Care Act 2014, in any activity that a local authority undertakes, it should ensure that the individual is, and remains, protected against abuse or neglect.</p><p>Section 4 of the Care Act 2014 also places a duty on local authorities to “establish and maintain a service for providing people in its area with information and advice relating to care and support for adults and support for carers.” This service includes information and advice about what to do in cases of neglect or abuse of an adult. Where it is suspected that an individual may be at risk of abuse or neglect, local authorities have a duty to carry out proportionate enquiries.</p><p>Quality Matters includes work to improve access to complaints systems and improve the feedback culture in the sector. In July 2018, as part of the initiative, the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman and Healthwatch England published the Single Complaints Statement – a guide for each stage of the complaints process, for adult social care providers and commissioners, people who use services, their families and carers. This sets out what service users, their families and representatives can expect when making a complaint with a simple bulleted guide for each stage of the complaints process. Service providers are encouraged to adopt the single complaints statements into their own complaints policies and highlight them in any information they give to service users, their families and representatives.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 19/06/2019 16:15:21 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2019 answer text <p>The table provides the rates of incidents of self-harm and self-inflicted deaths per 1,000 prisoners for the 12 month period to September 2018. On average, those who self-harmed did so 4.4 times, although a small number of prolific self-harmers have a disproportionate effect on this figure. The majority of those who self-harm in prison do so only once a year.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is taking unprecedented action to improve safety in prisons, including redoubling our efforts to prevent self-inflicted deaths and to reduce the levels of self-harm. We have recruited over 4,700 more prison officers since October 2016, and we now have the greatest number in post since early 2012. This is allowing us to implement the key worker role, allowing staff dedicated time to provide support to individual prisoners.</p><p> </p><p>We are improving support for prisoners in their early days in custody and working to improve the multi-disciplinary ACCT case management process for those at risk of suicide or self-harm.</p><p>We have rolled out a revised and improved Introduction to Suicide and Self-harm Prevention course. This is being completed by all new staff and as refresher training by all existing staff. Nearly 25,000 staff have already begun this training and over 14,000 have completed all six modules.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 05/07/2019 13:51:47 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland attachment 1 file name PQ 263189 Response.xlsx title Table

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department encourages all Universal Credit claimants to actively consider how best to manage their personal budget, with additional advice and support available from work coaches and case managers.

tabling member constituency	Hornsey and Wood Green
tabling member printed	Catherine West
uin	263205
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>The National Planning Policy Framework requires developments to incorporate an appropriate amount of green and other public space. It also states that greater weight should be given to designs which promote high levels of sustainability. We recognise that green roofs can improve the thermal performance of buildings. The Building Regulations set minimum energy performance standards for new homes and non-domestic buildings. The principal way that developers demonstrate compliance is through a whole building energy calculation. For a new building, the properties of green roofs would be taken into account in the calculation of overall energy performance and therefore the carbon emissions from the building.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/06/2019 14:37:36 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
