This pause was deemed appropriate as it has allowed time to seek assurance that the proposals are the best option for local patients and residents. An overall rating of ‘requires improvement’ would not, in itself, prevent a transaction taking place.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 24/02/2017 10:31:05 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2017 answer text <p>We are determined to give every child, regardless of their background, the very best start in life. Free school meals (FSM) are key to this and we want all parents whose children are entitled to them, to apply for them. To support this the Department for Education provides an electronic Eligibility Checking System (ECS), which allows local authorities to quickly check data held by DWP, the Home Office and HMRC in order to establish FSM eligibility. The Department has also provided a model registration form and accompanying guidance, which schools can use as part of their enrolment process.</p><p> </p><p>We want to make it as simple as possible for schools and local authorities to determine eligibility for FSM, and the Department is looking at what can be done in the longer term to make the FSM registration processes even more efficient.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 03/02/2017 08:55:18 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
