answer text <p>The Department monitors changes to the market closely to understand patient access to pharmaceutical services within the National Health Service. The law requires that every three years, local authority Health and Wellbeing Boards undertake pharmaceutical needs assessments to identify if there is a need for improvement or better access to services in the local areas. Contractors can apply to open a pharmacy where there is a gap or a need for improved access to services or if they can make a case for providing other benefits to the local communities.</p><p> </p><p>When their usual local pharmacy closes, patients can choose to access any of the remaining pharmacies nearby. Patients can also choose to access NHS pharmaceutical services remotely through any of the approximately 400 internet pharmacies in England, which are contractually required to deliver medicines to patients’ home address free of charge.</p><p>There were 10,673 pharmacies on 31 December 2023 providing NHS services in England. Access remains good with 80% of the population living within 20 minutes walking distance of a pharmacy and twice as many pharmacies in the most deprived areas of the country.</p>

The department's policy of retaining financial records for seven years limits access to data before the 2016/17 financial year. Other department grants may contribute less directly to wider school improvement. In addition, many of these and other grants are allocated via academy trusts or other organisations, and so schools may benefit indirectly without being the designated recipient from department. Finally, not all grant programs have been operational throughout the entire period between 2010 and 2023.</p><p>For a summary of the grants awarded, and for relevant school-level data, please refer to the tables below:</p><p>Table 1: Summary of school improvement grants paid for supporting schools in Chelmsford constituency.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="2"><p>Number of institutions in receipt of a school improvement grant and their total value</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Grant programme</p></td><td><p>(a) 2010 to 2017</p></td><td><p>(b) 2017to2023 (to end December 2023)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Regional Academy Growth Fund**</p></td><td><p>RAGF 2016-2017 2 trusts each with 1 school in Chelmsford*</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Multi-academy Trust Development and Improvement Fund**</p></td><td><p>N/A*</p></td><td><p>2 trusts, one with 2 schools and 1 with 1 school in Chelmsford*</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Trust Capacity Fund **</p></td><td><p>N/A*</p></td><td><p>1 trust with 2 schools in Chelmsford*</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Strategic School Improvement Capital Budget</p></td><td><p>N/A* 2010-2017<br> None – 2016-17</p></td><td><p>None</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Environmental Improvement Grant</p></td><td><p>None for 2016-17. <br> Records not available prior to 2016-17.</p></td><td><p>None</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Emergency Strategic Improvement Fund</p></td><td><p>N/A as fund started in 2017-18</p></td><td><p>None</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sponsored conversions to academy status</p></td><td><p>3 academies, totalling £210,000</p></td><td><p>None</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Transfer of an academy</p></td><td><p>None</p></td><td><p>None</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>School Improvement Offer</p></td><td><p>N/A*</p></td><td><p>1 school, totalling £1,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Trust and School Improvement offer</p></td><td><p>N/A*</p></td><td><p>4 schools, totalling £16,800</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>* Grant programme not operating during this period.</p><p>** The RAGF, MDIF, and TCAF funds support growth in the capacity of academy trusts to oversee academies.

answer text <p>The department publishes statistics on schools funding at the national level, including revenue funding to state-funded schools in England for pupils aged 5 to 16, in cash and real terms. Statistics for the 2010/11 to 2023/24 financial years are available at: <a href="https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-funding-statistics" target="_blank">https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-funding-statistics</a>.</p><p>In 2016/17 national per pupil funding in cash terms was £5,590 and in 2023/24 this had risen to £7,460 in cash terms. This represents a cumulative growth in per pupil funding since 2016/17 of 9.9% in real terms, as measured by the GDP deflator.</p><p>The published information has been designed to capture core funding for schools and be as consistent and comparable as possible across these years, given that the funding system has changed significantly during that time. It covers mainstream primary and secondary schools, special schools, alternative provision, pupil referral units and non-maintained special schools. Information about the methodology can be found at: <a href="https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/methodology/school-funding-statistics-methodology" target="_blank">https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/methodology/school-funding-statistics-methodology</a>. The department does not have a breakdown of this time series at local authority level, therefore equivalent figures are not available for Essex.</p><p>At local authority level, the department instead publish per pupil units of funding for the schools block of the dedicated schools grant (DSG) in cash terms. In 2016/17 for Essex, this was £4,392. Following changes to the funding system in 2017/18, the primary and secondary per pupil units of funding were provided separately and, in 2023/24 for Essex, these were £4,720 and £6,116 respectively. These figures are for mainstream schools only and do not include any additional grant funding outside of the DSG, such as the mainstream schools additional grant and teachers’ pay additional grant. The national equivalent to these local authority figures is £4,636 for 2016/17 and £4,954 and £6,422 for 2023/24 for primary and secondary schools respectively.</p>

answer text <p>The UK condemns any actions that further fuel the brutal conflict in Sudan. There is a UN Arms Embargo and Sanctions Regime on Darfur, which the UK renewed in March 2023, and which complements a longstanding bilateral UK arms embargo in place for the whole of Sudan. These regimes have been used to constrain the flow of weapons into the country and support efforts to stop those who pose a threat to stability in Darfur. The UN Arms Embargo and Sanctions Regime on Darfur will be reviewed by September 2024. Ministers continue to place emphasis on the importance of neutrality and of supporting a ceasefire and civilian political transition.</p> more like this
