answer text <p>Some young people need ongoing support into young adulthood, after they leave children and young people’s mental health services. This point of transition is an important stage for young people, and it is not always easy.</p><p> </p><p>That is why, in January 2015, NHS England published a Model Specification for Transitions from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, to support better transition planning and delivery by local providers. Transition from children and young people’s mental health services has also been included as one of 13 mandatory national indicators in the Commissioning for Quality and Innovation scheme, 2017/19, which offers financial incentives to local areas to encourage improved transition planning for children and young people.</p><p> </p><p>To address issues of transition, some areas have already adopted a mental health service which supports young people from ages 0-25.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We set a threshold of a minimum number of customer accounts for supplier participation in the Warm Home Discount to ensure small suppliers are not disproportionately burdened and to avoid creating excessive barriers to entry to the market. Following the Warm Home Discount consultation earlier this year, we decided to retain the customer threshold at 250,000 domestic accounts for participating suppliers in 2018/19, but to lower it to 200,000 in 2019/20 and 150,000 in 2020/21. We intend to reduce the threshold to zero or a small minimum, if the evidence on the impacts of reducing the threshold on the energy markets supports this approach. This gradual reduction will give smaller suppliers time to prepare for delivery, adjust their business models and help minimise the risk of non-compliance.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) centrally procures flu vaccines for the children’s national flu immunisation programme, these being the nasal spray Fluenz Tetra supplied by AstraZeneca and a quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine supplied by Sanofi Pasteur. This programme provides influenza vaccination for children between the ages of two and 17 years of age. If the Fluenz Tetra nasal spray is unsuitable, children are offered the quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine as an alternative. Other vulnerable groups are offered alternative vaccines that are more effective in protecting them against influenza.</p><p> </p><p>Sufficient vaccine has been procured to ensure that all eligible children who present at general practices and schools for vaccination can be offered the appropriate vaccine. Stocks are carefully managed by PHE to ensure there is equitable distribution across England, including the Stroud constituency, and sufficient in-date vaccine for patients who present throughout the season.</p>

answer text <p>The UK is deeply concerned by reports of recent clashes in the Jebel Marra region of Darfur between the Sudan Liberation Movement Abdel Wahid (SLA-AW) and Government forces. In particular, we are concerned by the impact on the civilian population and reports that the Government is preventing access for UNAMID and humanitarian actors. We have raised this issue repeatedly with the Government of Sudan, most recently on 31 October when our Ambassador to Sudan discussed the issue with the Undersecretary at the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We will continue to urge all parties to end military action, to allow unfettered access for UNAMID and humanitarian actors, and to engage meaningfully in the peace process to secure a permanent ceasefire agreement.</p> more like this
