answer text <p>The numbers of admissions to the paediatric intensive care unit at the London site of the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, which took place during 2015 – the most recent 12 month period for which figures are available - and the proportion of those admissions that were cardiac cases, are shown in the table below:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Cardiovascular</p></td><td><p>Respiratory</p></td><td><p>Other</p></td><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>Cardiac cases</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>581</p></td><td><p>57</p></td><td><p>32</p></td><td><p>670</p></td><td><p>87%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><em>Source</em>: Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network</p><p> </p><p>NHS England has not yet made any decisions following its review of congenital heart disease services. It will run a service change process, including a public consultation, on the proposals for change which it announced in July 2016. In the meantime, NHS England is working with the hospital trusts that may be affected to assess the impact of implementing the proposals.</p><p> </p><p>This will include consideration of the impact on paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) services. Should the proposals proceed to implementation, NHS England would expect those hospitals accepting additional congenital heart disease patients to expand their PICU capacity accordingly. Any wider regional implications for PICU services will be considered by NHS England's paediatric critical care review, which is currently underway.</p><p> </p><p>There are alternative providers of specialist paediatric respiratory services in London. NHS England will work with those providers and the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust to consider how those services might be affected and how the potential implementation of changes could best be managed.</p>

answer text <p>We have no plans to change the treatment of a non-resident parent’s outgoings within the calculation of child maintenance.</p><p>There is currently allowance made for:</p><ul><li>other children that live in the non-resident parent’s household;</li><li>children they support under a court order or family-based arrangement; and</li><li>for providing shared care for any of their children.</li></ul><p>Certain additional costs can also be taken into account - for example costs incurred in caring for a disabled child.</p><p>The calculation of a child maintenance liability is based on a percentage of the Non-Resident Parent’s income. This is broadly aligned with the proportion of their income a parent would normally spend on their child if they lived with them. This gives the Non-Resident Parent freedom to decide how to adjust their spending in light of their obligation to their child or children, as they would do if they lived with them.</p> more like this
