question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Care Quality Commission has published a specific inspection framework for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS) Tier 4 inpatient services; what is the maximum time allowed between inspections of CAMHS inpatient services; and in what ways the views and experiences of child patients and their parents are elicited.
tabling member printed	Baroness Jolly
uin	HL17299
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2019 answer text <p>Tier 4 inspections are covered as part of the child and adolescent mental health wards core service. The definition for this core service is as follows:</p><p>Child and adolescent mental health services may assess and treat children and young people as an inpatient in hospital. This may be when community-based services cannot meet their needs safely and effectively because of their level of risk and/or complexity and where they need 24-hour nursing and medical care.</p><p>If providers are registering with the CQC as a new provider, the CQC will normally aim to inspect within 12 months of registration. For services that are rated, providers will receive their initial rating at this inspection. The CQC use this initial rating to determine when next to inspect the service.</p><p>For both National Health Service trusts and independent providers, the following principles apply regarding re-inspection (for NHS trusts since June 2017 and for independent providers since April 2018):</p><p>- Inadequate – Normally within 12 months of publishing the last comprehensive inspection report;</p><p> </p><p>- Requires improvement - Normally within two years of publishing the last comprehensive inspection report;</p><p> </p><p>- Good - Normally within three and a half years of publishing the last comprehensive inspection report; and</p><p> </p><p>- Outstanding - Normally within five years of publishing the last comprehensive inspection report.</p><p> </p><p>These are maximum inspection intervals, therefore the CQC may inspect more frequently, particularly if there is a risk.</p><p>The CQC encourages people to share their experience to ensure it is acted upon, including through the national Tell Us About Your Care partner charities.</p><p>The CQC aim to speak to children and young people and their families/carers during the inspection (depending on their availability) and have specific inspection tools to enable this.</p><p>This information is published as part of the inspection framework for NHS acute hospitals.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 25/07/2019 16:46:46 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

tabling member printed	Baroness Jolly
uin	HL17300
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2019 answer text <p>The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has provided the following response.</p><p>The dates each of the registered Child and Adolescent Mental Health Tier 4 inpatient services were last inspected are attached, due to the size of the data.</p><p>The CQC carry out either comprehensive or focused inspections. For National Health Service trusts, these inspections will usually be unannounced.</p><p>In a few instances, where there are very good reasons, the CQC may let a service know it is coming. For example, the CQC may contact a trust to make sure senior management are present to answer its questions.</p><p>To enable the CQC to observe normal practice in a service, it has introduced more unannounced inspections as part of its comprehensive inspection methodology.</p><p>Because the CQC requests information from providers beforehand, it will carry out the inspection within three months of the provider submitting its provider information request. However, the CQC will not announce the day on which it intends to inspect.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 25/07/2019 16:45:37 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford attachment 1 file name HL17300 table formatted.docx title CAMHS Tier 4 inpatient inspections

hansard heading	Sheep Meat: UK Trade with EU

legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of warnings from the National Farmers’ Union that leaving the EU without a deal could lead to sheep farmers going out of business and slaughtering their flocks; and what steps they intend to take in response.
tabling member printed	Lord Jones of Cheltenham
uin	HL17302
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/08/2019 answer text <p>The government recognises the particular concerns of our UK sheep farmers and is determined to support them as we leave the EU. The UK is one of the largest producers of sheep in the world and by far the largest exporter of sheepmeat in the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Tariffs on trade are ultimately a tax on consumers, and economic modelling shows that if the EU were to apply the full Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff on the sheep sector, lamb prices in the EU are likely to rise. This may dampen demand in the EU resulting in more lamb seeking a market in the UK. Other leading producers like New Zealand may also retreat from the UK market and focus instead on the European market.</p><p><br> Analysis by the NFU suggests that the total cost to the sheep industry in year one under a no deal scenario would be approximately £150 million. Defra is designing contingency plans to ensure that we have the option to provide income support to farmers in the aftermath of a ‘no deal’ exit to mitigate this effect.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 05/08/2019 12:03:30 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking to protect victims of abuse from being stalked through applications placed on their phones.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL17306
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2019 answer text <p>Stalking is an insidious crime that has a deep and significant impact on victims’ wellbeing. Both online and offline, perpetrators leave victims feeling constantly at risk and looking over their shoulder. This Government is committed to ensuring that victims are supported. In March this year the Stalking Protection Act obtained Royal Assent – it introduces Stalking Protection Orders, which will provide protection to people who are stalked online and by phone, as well as offline. The Home Office part-funds the National Stalking Helpline, operated by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, which helps victims of all methods of stalking.</p><p>On 16 July we introduced our Domestic Abuse Bill which sets out our intention to transform the response to domestic abuse, including the risk of technology being used to perpetrate abuse. We published the Government Online Harms White Paper on 8 April which sets out our plans for world-leading legislation to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online. This covers a broad range of online harms, including cyberstalking.</p><p>The Government has provided Refuge with £250,000 of funding through the Tampon Tax Fund to provide specialist nationwide support to staff and survivors who experience technologically facilitated abuse. We have also provided Northumbria PCC with £646,000 through the Home Office Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Service Transformation Fund for a project which includes work to tackle cyberstalking.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 23/07/2019 16:16:05 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
