The Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review, published in July 2018, set out the overall strategy for how to achieve these targets.</p><p> </p><p>The Review concluded the most effective way to deliver these ambitions is to promote competition between fibre networks where possible intervene where necessary. The Review’s analysis suggests that commercial investment will be viable for up to 90% of premises in the UK. To ensure deployment is as cheap and easy as possible, the Barrier Busting Task Force has been established to remove issues like wayleaves, planning and streetworks.</p><p> </p><p>The Local Full Fibre Networks programme, launched in November 2017, will have invested almost £300 million to stimulate commercial full fibre investment across the UK by the end of the programme in 2021, while</p><p>Government is also supporting competitive commercial investment through the £400 million Digital Infrastructure Investment Fund, which is expected to unlock over £1 billion investment in full fibre.</p><p> </p><p>Industry have continued to respond with commitments to full fibre rollout with CityFibre, Hyperoptic and Openreach all making significant announcements to deploy full fibre in a number of towns and cities across the UK as well as new entrants also entering the market. We are now seeing full fibre coverage increase at pace with 7% of premises in the UK now able to connect to full fibre, up from 4% around 12 months ago.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 30/04/2019 17:33:34 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2019 answer text <p>We recognise that students registered with a university general practitioner (GP) practice may wish to access treatment from another GP when returning home or when away from university. Students can therefore register as a temporary resident at another GP practice. Temporary residence applies where a person intends to be in an area for more than 24 hours but less than three months. Once registered, patients can receive treatment in the same way as other patients. Details of a patient’s treatment whilst at their temporary practice will be passed to their permanent practice.</p><p>In addition, anyone who requires treatment that a GP or healthcare professional regards as an emergency, or as immediately necessary, should be provided that treatment free of charge, regardless of whether they are registered with a GP or not.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 30/04/2019 13:47:01 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
