answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2022 answer text <p>The Guide to Living in Asylum Accommodation sets out what is available for people being accommodated in asylum accommodation and who are eligible for asylum support. Those accommodated in bridging hotels have been evactuated from Afghanistan and are refugees with leave to remain in the country, they are not asylum seekers and therefore are not eligible for asylum support and so the guide does not apply to them.</p><p>In 2021 The UK Government undertook the biggest and fastest emergency evacuation in recent history, helping over 15,000 people to safety from Afghanistan. Due to the scale and pace of the evacuation we were not able to source appropriate accommodation in the normal way, we therefore had to use bridging hotels as a temporary measure. In these hotels we provide 3 meals a day for residents. All arrivals received an Aspen Card with funds equivalent to those on Universal Credit (UC). The families/individuals will then apply for UC and Aspen Cards will be terminated.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 18/05/2022 12:11:22 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>From early August, 12 hospital trusts began testing the use of an average (mean) wait between being referred by a general practitioner and starting treatment for routine conditions. The testing will help the National Health Service to see whether keeping the focus on patients at all stages of their pathway can help to reduce long waits. As well as using the data from trial sites to assess whether the testing has met these criteria, there will be an evaluation of the testing which will consider the impact they have had in the following areas:</p><p>- Patient safety;</p><p>- Waiting times;</p><p>- Process change;</p><p>- Patient and public experience;</p><p>- Clinical outcomes;</p><p>- Variation in outcomes, experience and performance; and</p><p>- Staff experience.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in the CRS interim report published in March, the NHS will hold a public consultation on the proposals. This will be informed by further evidence from field testing.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar grouped question UIN 846 question first answered 21/10/2019 12:50:42 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

uin	845
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2015 answer text <p>The department supports the removal of asbestos from schools, where it is safe and appropriate to do so, through its capital funding schemes.</p><p> </p><p>We are spending £1.4 billion to improve the condition of the school estate in financial year 2015 to 2016. The majority of this £1.4 billion (over £950 million) goes directly to schools and those responsible for them, and it is for them to decide how to use this funding to address their needs, including to manage and remove asbestos where appropriate. The legal responsibility for managing asbestos in schools rests with local authorities, academy trusts, governing bodies and other duty holders and so we rightly provide them with the flexibility to use their funding to carry out this duty.</p><p> </p><p>The remainder of the £1.4 billion goes through the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF), which provides more than £430 million to address the condition needs of academies in small multi-academy trusts and single academy trusts, as well as sixth-form colleges. This includes funding projects that remove asbestos from schools, as well as projects that will encapsulate asbestos, rather than removing it.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, where schools are being refurbished or rebuilt by the department as part of the Priority School Building Programmes, through which we will invest around £4bn, the costs of any asbestos management work, including removing it – where that is appropriate – are being met by the department. We do not make a specific allowance for asbestos works in a scheme. This is managed alongside other site risks. We allow 17% of the capital cost of a scheme for these risks and a central contingency is held for exceptional cases. This spending is often incorporated into the wider costs associated with demolition or refurbishment work.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson grouped question UIN 710 question first answered 09/06/2015 16:15:07 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
