answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2017 answer text <p>Each of the organisations contained within Sussex and East Surrey’s Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP), is engaging staff, patients, local residents and stakeholder groups around their joint plans.</p><p> </p><p>The STP has decided that their preferred approach is to develop four 'place based plans' within their STP: Coastal Care, East Sussex Better Together and the North and South parts of the Central Sussex and East Surrey Alliance. They are undertaking public and patient engagement on that basis. Details of all engagement events they have held can be reviewed on the individual partner websites.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the partners are also establishing an STP wide patient and public engagement steering group to help shape and improve STP-wide engagement.</p><p> </p><p>The STP Dashboard was published in July to provide an initial baseline view of STP performance. Upon publication, Sussex and East Surrey STP were rated in ‘Category 4- Needs Most Improvement’. NHS England intends to update the dashboard annually to enable progress to be tracked, and outcomes to be measured. The STP dashboard can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/11-pb-21-07-2017-stp-progress-dashboard.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/11-pb-21-07-2017-stp-progress-dashboard.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>STP partners have established a pooled fund to support the work of the STP. The total spend from March 2016 to end of September 2017 was £2,264,000. This figure is inclusive of consultancy and reviews.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has not made an assessment of the potential merits of redrawing the geographical scope of the STP – however, NHS England has set out arrangements for STPs to be able to propose an adjustment to their geographical boundaries. The geographical scope and composition of Sussex and East Surrey STP is a matter for its local partners.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine grouped question UIN 110980 110981 110990 question first answered 08/11/2017 17:16:59 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2017 answer text <p>Apprenticeships are an excellent route into skilled employment for those of all ages. Women have accounted for the majority of apprenticeship starts - 53.5 per cent in 2016/17 (provisional 2016/17 full year data).</p><p> </p><p>It is important that both older and younger people are able to achieve the long term benefits associated with completing an apprenticeship, which include an increase in wages and progression in their careers.</p><p> </p><p>Women in particular can face challenges when returning to full-time employment, such as arranging necessary childcare or care for relatives. We have therefore amended our Funding Rules to allow more flexibility in working arrangements. This will make it easier for part-time workers to undertake apprenticeships, such as those with caring responsibilities and single parents.</p><p> </p><p>The employer-led Apprenticeships Diversity Champions Network is encouraging apprenticeships amongst those from a diverse range of backgrounds. This will include championing female apprenticeships particularly within sectors where women are currently underrepresented.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 08/11/2017 18:48:38 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
