On 15 June 2020 industry body the Betting and Gaming Council set out further detail about the allocation of industry donations for the 2020-21 financial year, and announced that the charity GambleAware would be funded to expand treatment services.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The government has been clear that the gambling industry has a responsibility to protect people from gambling harm and support those who have been affected. It welcomed industry’s commitment to increase contributions and will monitor closely the progress of these new measures. While this a voluntary agreement, Ministers and officials have been clear that funds must be spent independently of industry and focused exclusively on reducing gambling related harm.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 03/07/2020 13:09:55 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

The SFA considers a provider’s track record of delivering education and training. For providers delivering just loans-funded provision, a financial health assessment of ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ is required.</p><p> </p><p>Once providers have met the entry criteria, and approved to offer loan-funded provision to learners, they are subject to a range of further measures and controls. These include reviews of their financial health, audit and assessment of their qualification achievement rates. Providers are also required to comply with robust funding and performance rules.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 23/03/2017 17:45:50 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the procurement of a human papilloma virus vaccination programme currently taking place includes the vaccine needed for men who have sex with men.
tabling member printed	Lord Black of Brentwood
uin	HL6028
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2016 answer text <p>The Department and Public Health England are currently undertaking a procurement exercise to secure vaccine to support the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programme for girls. The procurement will take account of the costs and benefits of all vaccines offered to establish which provides best value for money for the National Health Service.</p><p> </p><p>In November 2015, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the expert body that advises the Government on all immunisation matters, advised that a targeted HPV vaccination programme should be undertaken for men who have sex with men up to 45 years of age who attend genitourinary medicine and HIV clinics. They noted that this should be subject to procurement of the vaccine and delivery of the programme at a cost-effective price. The JCVI acknowledged that finding a way to implement its advice would be challenging and made clear that work was needed by the Department and others to consider commissioning and delivery routes for this programme. This work is already underway and we will announce our plans as soon as we can.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton grouped question UIN HL6027 HL6029 question first answered 23/02/2016 12:32:06 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton
