answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2019 answer text <p>As part of the Government’s continued commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant, veterans are able to access National Health Service-provided mainstream and bespoke evidence-based mental health services.</p><p>The NHS in England has developed two bespoke veterans’ services; the Transition, Intervention and Liaison Service, which supports serving personnel who need additional mental health support as they are leaving the Armed Forces and veterans who have mental health issues; and the Complex Treatment Service, that has been designed to support veterans with complex mental health issues, not limited to post-traumatic stress disorder, that have not improved with previous treatment.</p><p>In December last year, NHS England announced an extra £10 million to expand these services and seek ways to close the gaps in current mental health provision to meet the needs of those individuals that are nearing crisis. This expansion will increase capacity and help to ensure that specialist health support for veterans is available across a wider geographical area, helping many more vulnerable ex-Service Personnel, families and those in the criminal justice system.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 03/07/2019 16:04:52 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to improving employment outcomes for people with autism. Improving Lives: the Future of Work, Health and Disability is our strategy for helping people with disabilities or health conditions enter and remain in employment. It includes details of several initiatives that will help support disabled people, including people with autism, in making a successful transition to employment. For example:</p><p> </p><ul><li>The Work and Health Programme will provide innovative support for around 275,000 people over five years. The majority of people of starting on the programme (around 220,000) will be disabled people, including people with autism, who can volunteer for the programme at any time.</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>The Personal Support Package for people with health conditions and disabilities, with a range of new interventions and initiatives designed to provide support that is tailored to the individual needs of claimants, including people with autism</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>Access to Work is a demand-led, discretionary grant scheme which offers advice and in-work support to disabled people, including those with autism, above the level of statutory reasonable adjustments. An Access to Work customer may receive an award of up to £59,200 p.a. to pay for support to help them to enter or retain employment. This can include help with getting to work.</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>Through the Disability Confident scheme, DWP is engaging with employers, offering online guidance and helping to promote the skills, talents and abilities of disabled people, including people with autism and associated hidden impairments</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li>We are also continuing to build on local initiatives in jobcentres, to ensure that we deliver a consistently supportive service across Jobcentre Plus. For example, as part of Autism Awareness Week in April 2019, we introduced short “Bitesize” Autism Awareness Learning for work coaches and promoted Calm and Quiet Sessions in jobcentres.</li></ul><p> </p><p>Looking forward, the new Intensive Personalised Employment Support Programme, which will roll out by the end of 2019, will provide highly personalised packages of employment support for disabled people, including those with autism, who are at least a year away from moving into work.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 02/07/2019 16:05:08 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
