answer text <p>Although the Ministry of Defence and Imperial War Museum work closely together on various projects, the Ministry of Defence does not directly fund or support any of the Imperial War Museum’s activities; the Museum receives its core Grant in Aid through the Department for Culture Media and Sport, as a Non Departmental Public Body. The IWM is currently in discussion with the Department about its programme of change, including changes to how core collections including books are accessed at IWM London. A programme of digitisation of these core collections is in train so that those across the UK and further afield who are not able to visit the museum sites in person, can engage with IWM’s subject matter and collection. The IWM is also looking at a number of options around access to its collections. All accessioned collection items, and some (non-accessioned) books, ephemera, will remain at or under the museum’s direct management and will continue to be accessible by appointment. However the option of a possible transfer to other institutions of some of the non-accessioned materials currently held in the library which are not part of its core collection has been raised, so that these might be accessible elsewhere. Throughout discussions the IWM has remained fully committed to maintaining its presence in Manchester, London and Cambridgeshire.</p>

answer text <p>The Department has not undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of the implementation of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) clinical guidelines. These are good practice guidance, developed by experts, intended to support maternity service commissioners and providers with the delivery of evidence-based care. It is for local maternity care providers to determine how best to deliver services for women with multiple pregnancies in their area. In doing so we would expect them to give due regard to NICE guidance.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) are art, drama and music therapists, dietitians, occupational therapists, orthoptists, orthotists/prosthetists, paramedics, physiotherapists, podiatrists, radiographers, and speech and language therapists. Each profession has to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The QualityWatch report on Allied Health Professionals draws on available data which suggests that AHPs are not currently fully represented in or by many of the national quality measures which systematically capture data from the medical or nursing workforce, presenting an inappropriate impression of the activities and outcomes of AHPs. Given the nature and scope of their work, AHPs are ideally placed to address some of the key challenges facing the health and care sectors. However, the report notes where their publically funded employment already spans the NHS, Local Government (Social Care and Education), housing, third sector and independent practice there is a real opportunity now to develop and build measures across sectors that both reflect the pattern of actual service delivery for patients and the outcomes AHPs achieve for them.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>To ensure there is an appropriate AHP workforce to continue to supply this diversity of sectors, which reflect patient choice, will also require increasing sophistication of modelling and data capture during work.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The newly appointed NHS England Chief Allied Health Professions Officer is to take up the chair of National Allied Health Professional Informatics Strategy Taskforce and this group, supported by all the AHP professional bodies, will ensure that the findings of the report are formally reviewed and acted upon.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Highways Agency estimates that non-UK registered vehicles will account for around 3 out of every 100 crossings and the majority of these are expected to comply with the charge.  The Highways Agency are serious about tackling non-compliance and will use effective penalty and recovery processes that have been proven elsewhere, such as the London congestion charging and Dublin M50 toll schemes.  The new Dartford Charging Scheme Order enables the Agency to enforce the Dartford Crossing road user charge through penalty charges and recovery processes.</p><p> </p><p>A European debt recovery agency, with access to a variety of foreign vehicle databases, will also be used to pursue and recover outstanding charges from non-UK vehicles that evade paying the Crossing charge.</p> more like this
