answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2015 answer text <p>The Government provides an annual settlement to local authorities in England to fund delivery of key local services. Since 2013/14 authorities have retained any council tax raised on new homes built. In addition, the Coalition Government introduced the New Homes Bonus, which has to date allocated some £3.4 billion of funding to local authorities to recognise delivery of over 700,000 homes and over 100,000 long term empty properties returned to use.</p><p>The 2012 Housing Revenue Account self-financing settlement gave local authorities the freedom to plan their housing businesses in the long term. In the 3 years between 2012/13 and 2014/15 councils built 3,630 local authority dwellings. 2014 saw the highest number of council housing starts for 23 years (2,630 dwellings). In 2015/16 and 2016/17 we are also providing 36 local authorities with almost £222 million of additional borrowing headroom to develop over 3,000 additional homes.</p><p>Future spending priorities will be determined through the Spending Review process currently underway.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 23/10/2015 12:35:28 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2015 answer text <br /><p>The Department has not undertaken a review of NHS physiotherapy service provision. However, scoping work has started regarding the ability for patients to self-refer to musculoskeletal physiotherapy within primary care.</p><br /><p>The provision of physiotherapy, as for all health services is decided by local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and it will take into account the needs of the population overall. The CCG’s decisions are underpinned by clinical insight and knowledge of local healthcare needs. As such, provision of services will vary in response to local needs.</p><br /><p>As defined in the NHS Constitution, patients have the right to expect to be seen and treated within national operational standards ensuing timely diagnosis and treatment, equality of care and patient choice.</p><br /><p>The 18 weeks commitment is a universal right. This commitment should be delivered for every patient, in every specialty and in every organisation unless the patient chooses otherwise or it is not in their best clinical interest.</p><br /><p>In June this year, NHS England, Monitor and the Trust Development Authority jointly wrote to CCG Accountable Officers and Clinical Leaders and Chief Executives of NHS Providers setting out the changes to the Referral to Treatment operational standards and reporting arrangements. A copy of that letter, which outlines the changes in more detail, is attached.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt grouped question UIN 12396 question first answered 22/10/2015 16:35:29 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt attachment 1 file name RTT changes letter.pdf title Changes to RTT letter
