answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises the negative impact of isolation and loneliness on the quality of life for elderly and other vulnerable people. It is not possible, however, to demonstrate a causal link between becoming socially isolated or lonely and developing mental health problems.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services cannot ‘treat’ loneliness, those who experience mental health conditions may also be lonely and vice versa. IAPT services can signpost or refer people onto other services that seek to address loneliness where these are available locally.</p><p> </p><p>Feelings of social isolation and loneliness are not exclusive to the elderly but that group can be particularly affected. The Green Paper on the care of older people which will be published in the autumn, will set out a number of proposals to help older people live healthier, longer, more independent lives.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 26/06/2018 10:05:13 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

uin	156330
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2018 answer text <p>We have given providers the flexibility to innovate and do what works to tailor rehabilitative support to the particular needs of offenders. Through-the-gate (TTG) resettlement services delivered by Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) mean that virtually all prisoners have access to targeted support to help them find accommodation and employment on release, and advice on finance, benefits and debt. For the West Midlands in particular, Staffordshire and West Midlands CRC have put in place joint case conferencing with partners to determine TTG services in the most complex cases. This ensures continuity of service for the individual leaving prison.</p><p> </p><p>Offenders who are assessed as posing a higher risk of serious harm receive support and supervision from the National Probation Service and may be required to reside in Approved Premises on release from custody.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 26/06/2018 09:24:09 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
