answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/05/2018 answer text <p>The £30 million funding for Children and Young People’s Eating Disorder services in 2016/17 was an initial allocation made in addition to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) baseline funding. For subsequent years funding has been incorporated into core CCG baseline allocations. This is normal as a programme moves from being a new initiative into a delivery requirement for all CCGs as part of their general commissioning responsibilities and helps to enable services to be planned for as part of the regular planning cycle. Planned spend for 2017/18 by individual CCGs on Eating Disorder services has been included within the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health Dashboard.

Since then, the standard PFI model has been reviewed and reforms have been implemented, leading to the launch of a new model – PF2 – in 2012. The new PF2 model has improved transparency, reduced procurement times and improved the flexibility of private finance contracts.

uin	141368
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/05/2018 answer text <p>Local authorities are responsible for setting their own formulae to determine how much funding each school in their area receives. As part of their local formulae, local authorities can include a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) factor to reflect the additional costs associated with PFI schools. In 2017-18, local authorities distributed a total of £154 million through a PFI factor.</p><p>The amount local authorities receive for their schools is now determined by the national funding formula. The national funding formula also includes a PFI factor, which in 2018-19 is equivalent to how much local authorities spent through their local PFI factor in 2017-18, plus an uplift in line with inflation, which reflects the fact that many PFI contracts are indexed in this way. Local authorities can decide how to pass this uplift on to their schools.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 10/05/2018 13:37:59 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

tabling member constituency	Birkenhead

uin	141313
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/05/2018 answer text <p>The introduction of the national funding formula means that our funding will, for the first time, be distributed on the basis of the individual needs and characteristics of every school in the country. The former system is completely out-of-date, based on data and decisions from over a decade ago.</p><p> </p><p>As the independent Institute for Fiscal Studies has confirmed, overall schools funding is being protected at a national level in real terms per pupil over the next two years. At the same time, our historic improvement of the school funding system – backed by an additional £1.3 billion of extra funding – will replace the postcode lottery which saw huge differences in funding between similar schools in different parts of the country.</p><p> </p><p>The new formula will allocate a cash increase of at least 1% per pupil to every school by 2019-20, with much higher gains for underfunded schools. Schools across Birkenhead will see, on average, a cash funding increase of 1.6%, or £779,000 through our formula.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 10/05/2018 13:33:33 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
