answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2018 answer text <p>£220 million is the estimated cost to government of the employer National Insurance relief on Employer Supported Childcare. That relief does not go directly to parents to help with the cost of childcare, but to employers, and the voucher providers they use, to administer the schemes. Government does not hold details about the administration costs incurred by employers for childcare voucher schemes.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 01/03/2018 14:10:47 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2018 answer text <p>NHS England in the North East and Cumbria commission in-patient services for children and young people with a mental illness, learning disabilities, autism and eating disorders. Young people have access to assessment and treatment units, psychiatric intensive care, low security and medium security, a complex neurodevelopmental service, and eating disorder outreach.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England is undertaking a National Service Review of all Children and Young People’s Mental health (CYPMHS) Tier 4 services. This process is nationally driven and locally implemented, the focus being to redistribute the number of CYPMHS beds nationally to ensure the local need is met within each Specialised Commissioning Hub.</p><p> </p><p>The North East and Cumbria Hub has reviewed local activity and demand and has developed an implementation plan which outlines the number and type of beds required in region to reduce the number of out-of-area admissions.</p><p> </p><p>Running alongside the National Service Review are the two-year New Care Model Pilots. This is a nationally developed programme to transfer the budget for Tier 4 services to providers, enabling them to invest in the whole pathway, developing community services and reducing the reliance on in-patient beds. In the North East and Cumbria there are two pilots, which cover the whole hub. The providers are Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust and Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust. Both business cases focus on the development of 24-hour crisis services and improved community provision across both providers’ areas, reducing lengths of stay, number of out-of-area placements and reliance on in-patient beds. NHS England is working closely with the providers on the implementation and evaluation of these pilots.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 01/03/2018 14:29:12 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2018 answer text <p>On 5 July 2016 we published Our Commitment to you for end of life care, which set out what everyone should expect from their care at the end of life and the actions we are taking to make high quality, personalised care a reality for everyone by 2020. Our Commitment stated that everyone should have the opportunity to develop and document a personalised care plan based on what matters to them, including: advance decisions; preferences about where they would like to be cared for and would want to die; and to review and revise this plan throughout the duration of their illness.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England and the Ambitions for End of life Care partnership have made available a range of resources to support commissioners to deliver advance care planning for families and patients, including an end of life care toolkit and care planning guidance. Over the last year, additional support has been made available in the form of new guidance on end of life care planning for people with dementia, as well as an online training course to support volunteers to understand what advance care planning is and how to deliver it; as well as how to assist others with advance care planning. Both resources can be found at the links below:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/dementia-good-care-planning-information-for-primary-care-and-commissioners/" target="_blank">www.england.nhs.uk/publication/dementia-good-care-planning-information-for-primary-care-and-commissioners/</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.endoflifecareambitions.org.uk/thinking-planning-ahead-learning/" target="_blank">www.endoflifecareambitions.org.uk/thinking-planning-ahead-learning/</a></p><p> </p><p>The Government commitment also set out plans to work with voluntary sector partners to raise public awareness nationally of issues around death and dying and the importance of enabling individuals to make end of life care plans in advance. NHS England contributed funding to the Dying Matters campaign in 2016/17 and also promoted Dying Matters Week via the National End of Life Care Programme Board and through the National Palliative and End of Life Care Network. In addition, in October 2017, Age UK published a booklet and animation; Let's Talk About Death and Dying, that provides information about conversations, care and choices at the end of life. It was promoted through their media channels including radio and trade press.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 01/03/2018 15:34:52 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2018 answer text <p>The UK is deeply concerned by the continuing violence in many parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo that is leading to civilian deaths. We frequently raise our concerns with the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo since it has primary responsibility for bringing those responsible for unlawful killings to justice. Alongside our international partners we have called on the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo to investigate these crimes swiftly and bring the still unidentified perpetrators before national courts. The International Criminal Court is an independent body and a Court of last resort, which is complementary to national legal systems. It investigates potential crimes only when the domestic authorities are unwilling or unable to bring perpetrators of the most severe crimes to justice themselves.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 01/03/2018 15:56:22 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
