answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>NHS Improvement has introduced Learning Disability Improvement Standards for providers of National Health Service funded care in England to help ensure that trusts monitor, improve and review the care they provide to people with a learning disability or autism. Inclusion of the improvement standards in the NHS Standard contract 2019/20, mandated by NHS England for use by commissioners of all healthcare services except primary care, means that all providers, including those that provide mental health inpatient facilities, must have regard to the improvement standards.</p><p> </p><p>On 13 February 2019 the Department launched a consultation on mandatory learning disability and autism training to ensure that staff working in health and social care understand the needs of people with learning disabilities and autism and have the skills to provide them with the most effective care and support. Officials have worked with people with lived experience of learning disabilities and autism to develop the consultation proposals.</p><p> </p><p>The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is undertaking a thematic review of the use of restrictive interventions in settings that provide inpatient or residential care for people with mental health problems and a learning disability and/or autism. It will review and make recommendations on the use of physical restraint, prolonged seclusion and segregation to ensure that the least restrictive approaches are adopted. The NHS Long Term plan commits NHS England to work with the CQC to implement its recommendations.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 04/03/2019 16:50:33 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

uin	226556
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>This Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy which sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. Already, this has provided over 1,750 new bed spaces and 500 staff– this means there are more people in warm beds tonight as direct result of government funding.</p><p>In all, the Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period. As part of the 1.2 billion, Liverpool City Region has received £3 million, including Housing First Pilot funding to help tackle homelessness and rough sleeping.</p><p>Future years funding (from 2020-21 onward) for homelessness and rough sleeping are dependent on Spending Review negotiations, therefore we are not able to clarify at this stage how much funding Liverpool City Region will receive in future to support work to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping, however there will be funding opportunities open to all local authorities to bid for in the near future including the Rapid Rehousing Pathway, an initiative to support rough sleepers and those at risk of rough sleeping.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 04/03/2019 17:36:57 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

uin	218759
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>The department publishes information on looked-after children, child protection plans and children in need in local authorities, including those within Wirral and Liverpool, in the local authority interactive tool. This can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-authority-interactive-tool-lait" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-authority-interactive-tool-lait</a>.</p><p>There are a range of factors that contribute to trends in demand for children’s social care including deprivation in different local authorities. The most deprived local authorities have more looked-after children (per 10,000 0 to 17-year-olds), and these rates have grown faster than the least deprived local authorities. The most common factors that present themselves in children’s social care assessments are domestic abuse and mental health. Data on this is available in table C3 of the statistical release ‘Characteristics of children in need 2017 to 2018’ at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/characteristics-of-children-in-need-2017-to-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/characteristics-of-children-in-need-2017-to-2018</a>.</p><p>In preparation for the Spending Review, to help ensure decisions are based on the best available evidence, the government is working with the sector to develop a sharper and more granular picture of demand for children’s services.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 13/02/2019 16:52:33 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>The Care Quality Commission is responsible for assessing the quality of health and social care support, including for those who are deaf. Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are responsible for assessing locally what health services should be commissioned to meet needs; local authorities have duties under the Care Act 2014 for assessing people’s need for social care support.</p><p> </p><p>NHS Wirral CCG recently completed a consultation in relation to Urgent Care Services. This consultation had significant representation from members of the deaf community as well as British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters. They spoke of consistent difficulties in accessing local NHS services, more specifically on provision and quality of BSL interpreters; this was not specific to urgent care services but spanned the range of NHS services in Wirral. A subsequent meeting was held with representatives of the deaf community on 21 December 2018 and the CCG agreed to facilitate an engagement process to include providers in 2019 to understand the issues in more detail and plan actions for providers to take forward over the longer term. A further meeting has been arranged for 18 February 2019. This meeting will be attended by members of the deaf community, BSL interpreters and NHS providers in Wirral.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 13/02/2019 17:09:28 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
