answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2014 answer text <p>The Five Year Forward View is a publically available document. It lists a number of initiatives specifically targeted at children, such as a commitment to target obesity in children. The NHS leadership articulates an ambition to radically redesign and improve care through developing new care models in partnership with local communities. The vision is of approaches to organising care that are more integrated, more responsive and more tailored to the needs of local populations. Children represent one of the most significant groups of users of health services, and should therefore expect to be amongst the major beneficiaries of these improvements in the health system.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 04/11/2014 16:28:41 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what additional funding is being allocated to local authorities for their commissioning responsibility for the Healthy Child Programme from October 2015; and what steps his Department is taking to ensure a smooth transition to that commissioning responsibility.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2014 answer text <p>Local government will receive funding for its additional responsibilities in commissioning 0-5 services. The Department is aiming to set out 0-5 funding allocations later in the year. NHS England area teams and local authorities are currently scrutinising the figures for 2015-16, as part of the process for determining the allocations. The key principle behind the transfer of responsibility is to ensure that the Department does not place any additional burdens on local authorities. More information about finance issues relating to the transfer is available from the Local Government Association’s website:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>www.local.gov.uk/documents/10180/6410150/Transfer+of+0-5+children's+public+health+commissioning+to+local+authorities+finance+issues/570e8a83-2e91-4cf0-887a-6bcf25674894</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>At the point at which local authorities take over responsibility for commissioning public health services for children aged 0-5, (including health visiting services), the Government is intending to mandate the delivery of the key child assessment elements of the Health Child Programme. The Department is working collaboratively with its partners locally and nationally on the transfer of commissioning responsibilities and the associated funding issues. It is supported in ensuring a smooth transition by the service specification, “Public Health Functions to be exercised by NHS England” published November 2013, sets out expectations for the commissioning and provision of services and how area teams can work with local authorities ahead of the transfer of commissioning responsibilities in 2015.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>At the local level NHS England’s area teams and local authorities are working to develop plans, including timescales, for a smooth and effective transfer of the commissioning role. A programme of regional 0 to 5 years commissioning transfer events, organised in conjunction with the Local Government Association is underway, providing the means for local staff and key stakeholders to further develop their understanding of working together in respect of future arrangements.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 13/10/2014 14:26:02 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
