answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2023 answer text <p>At present, all commercial internal combustion engines produce exhaust emissions that are harmful to health. Although some companies claim hydrogen combustion engines are close to zero NOx emissions, as well as CO2, Government has yet to see evidence to illustrate that zero harmful emissions at the exhaust are possible in either laboratory or real-world conditions.</p><p> </p><p>We will continue to focus innovation support to fully zero emission solutions. However, if technology developments enable renewable hydrogen to be used in combustion engines with zero harmful tailpipe emissions, then we would welcome this development.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 03/04/2023 14:35:25 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2023 answer text <p>No assessment has been made at a national level. As set out in the Health and Care Act 2022, it is the legal duty of integrated care boards to commission palliative and end of life care to meet the needs of their local populations. NHS England has published statutory guidance to support commissioners with this duty.</p><p>As such, commissioners are encouraged to consider cost effective commissioning from a range of providers and settings, in order to best meet the needs and preferences of their population. We have made over £400 million available to hospices since 2020 to secure and increase additional National Health Service capacity and enable hospital discharge, ensuring hospices can continue to deliver care to those who need it. More specifically, hospices have been amongst services eligible for funding to support discharge and improve patient flow totalling £200 million, information about which can be found at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/discharge-funding-for-step-down-care-200-million-fund/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/discharge-funding-for-step-down-care-200-million-fund/</a></p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 04/04/2023 15:21:36 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
