answer text <p>The department is building a supportive schools’ culture in which Regional Schools Commissioners work with multi academy trusts to drive school improvement. As part of this, the department will offer schools the support they need, in line with the ‘Schools Causing Concern’ guidance.</p><p>The department does not currently have concerns about the financial position of the Oak Trees Multi Academy Trust as evidenced in the trust’s annual accounts return.</p><p>Academy trusts are expected to manage their resources and financial position effectively. Their status as companies, charities and public sector bodies, means they have a more rigorous tri‑partite framework and are held up to greater scrutiny. There is a clear framework of accountability for academy trusts regulated by the Education &amp; Skills Funding Agency through trusts’ funding agreements and the Academies Financial Handbook. This can be accessed at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/academies-financial-handbook" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/academies-financial-handbook</a>.</p><p>There is effective oversight and compliance based on proportionate risk assessment and robust intervention when concerns arise. In addition, all academy trusts must have an annual external audit of their annual accounts by a registered statutory auditor. This external scrutiny provides the department with a high level of confidence that oversight is professional and consistent.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

This was due to the small numbers of Universal Credit cases recorded as being affected by this policy, meaning it is not possible to break down these totals by smaller geographic areas without the risk of identifying individual claimants.</p> more like this

Therefore the number of people who had a decision changed at MR and the number of people who had a decision changed at tribunal appeal cannot be added together.</p>

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>

answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of broadband infrastructure for schools. The Department is working with industry and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to accelerate the full fibre internet connectivity rollout to all schools. In addition to this, The Department is supporting those schools most in need[1], which will not otherwise receive a timely upgrade through commercial routes. Hundreds of schools have been identified where connectivity will be accelerated by funding a new full fibre connection over the next two years, bringing schools, local communities and businesses onto an ultrafast, full fibre connection. As a result, fewer than 10 state funded mainstream schools in Merseyside are in areas that cannot guarantee connection speeds of over 30Mbps[2]. The numbers for Wirral and Wallasey are even lower and so harder to reliably estimate.</p><p>The Department will be publishing an Education Technology strategy in the Spring, which will include how schools are being supported to overcome the barrier of internet connectivity to harness the opportunities of technology.</p><p> </p><p>[1] As announced in the Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review, available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/future-telecoms-infrastructure-review" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/future-telecoms-infrastructure-review</a>, the market alone is unlikely to support network deployment in the final c.10% of premises.</p><p>[2] <a href="https://www.ofcom.org.uk/research-and-data/multi-sector-research/infrastructure-research/connected-nations-2018" target="_blank">https://www.ofcom.org.uk/research-and-data/multi-sector-research/infrastructure-research/connected-nations-2018</a>.</p>

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>

answer text <p>Sir Robert Naylor published his independent review on National Health Service property and estates in March 2017. It made a series of recommendations designed to support transformation of the NHS estate. The Review did not identify surplus land, nor recommend the sale of specific sites. It is for NHS land owners to determine which are surplus to requirements and to make them available for disposal. NHS land owners contribute to sustainability and transformation partnerships (STP) estates strategies which consider the nature of the estate that is required across an STP to deliver clinical strategy and meet patient needs.</p><p>The NHS Surplus Land Annual Data Collection collects data on land owned by NHS trusts and foundation trusts which has been declared surplus and planned for future disposal. Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust reported only one planned disposal in the 2017-18 collection. This data is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-surplus-land/2017-18-england" target="_blank">https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-surplus-land/2017-18-england</a></p><p>The planned disposal related to vacant land on the Clatterbridge Hospital site. The land was disposed via statutory transfer to Homes England in March 2018. The sales proceeds, as reported in the Trust’s Annual Report and Accounts, were £4.4 million. In the 2017-18 data collection it was estimated that the site could deliver 95 homes. This figure will be confirmed through the planning process.</p>
