It is primarily for the forthcoming English local elections in May.</p><p>The Government is clear that political parties are responsible for supporting their disabled candidates (as defined by the Equality Act 2010).

answer text <p>The annual single night snapshot of rough sleeping in Autumn 2018 was published on January 31 2019 at the link below:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/rough-sleeping-in-england-autumn-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/rough-sleeping-in-england-autumn-2018</a>.</p><p>Table 1 provides figures from annual rough sleeping snapshots in all local authorities in England since 2010 and whether this was derived through a count or an estimate. Each local authority in England chooses whether to inform this annual snapshot via a street count, an evidence-based estimate, or an estimate informed by a spotlight street count.</p><p>The methodology for providing this snapshot has been in place since 2010 and provides a way of approximating the number of people sleeping rough across England on a single night, and tracking change over time. Detailed guidance is provided to authorities on how to conduct counts and estimates; hundreds of local partner agencies participate in the process and Homeless Link are funded to verify all local counts and validate local estimates and demographic information.</p><p>MHCLG is encouraging local authorities with larger numbers of people sleeping rough to improve their year-round monitoring. Due to the difficulties involved in collecting such information, it is not practical to request all local authorities to gather data on the flow of people sleeping rough across the year. This would require extensive local outreach work as well as a substantial database and, especially for local authorities with small numbers of people sleeping rough, would not be an appropriate use of resources.</p><p>In some areas, including London, this is already in place. London’s CHAIN data, which provides information on the individuals seen sleeping rough by outreach teams in London throughout the year as opposed to a single night, was published alongside our own statistics and can be found at the link below.</p><p><a href="https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/chain-reports" target="_blank">https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/chain-reports</a>.</p><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. The Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.</p>

answer text <p>The table below sets out for each local authority with a Housing Revenue Account (HRA) the percentage of their borrowing cap that had been utilised at 1 April 2017 and 1 April 2018. At Autumn Budget we confirmed that the HRA borrowing cap had been abolished. Local authorities are now free to borrow to build a new generation of council housing, in line with the Prudential Code. We expect them to be able to double building to 10,000 homes per year by 2021/22.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Local Authority</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>% cap utilised at 1 April 2017</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>% cap utilised at 1 April 2018</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Adur</p></td><td><p>87.22%</p></td><td><p>87.22%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Arun</p></td><td><p>69.34%</p></td><td><p>67.87%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Ashfield</p></td><td><p>100.00%</p></td><td><p>100.00%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Ashford</p></td><td><p>94.59%</p></td><td><p>94.20%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Babergh</p></td><td><p>88.15%</p></td><td><p>87.64%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Barking &amp;

answer text <p>The Department is committed to supporting disabled people and people with health conditions to live independently and we recognise the contribution that PIP can make to this. During meetings with the DWP Working Group with individuals affected by contaminated blood, concerns were raised about people affected by contaminated blood scoring nil or low points for PIP, and members were invited to share any such cases for review. After reviewing all of the cases received, a problem with how the functional needs of claimants with haemarthropathy had been assessed for PIP was identified.</p><p> </p><p>On the 25th June 2018 the Department began an administrative exercise to review cases of claimants with contaminated blood where they have haemophilia or haemarthropathy from other causes, to ensure claimants receive the correct award. To date 370 cases have been reviewed. All claimants have now been notified, completing the original exercise.</p><p> </p><p>In conjunction with this administrative exercise the Department along with PIP assessment providers have developed new guidance on haemophilia and haemarthropathy to ensure health professionals appropriately assess such cases. This guidance was fully implemented on 15th February 2019 and the Department will now be reviewing a second batch of recent cases, assessed between the end of the original exercise and the implementation of the guidance.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, Assessment Providers and stakeholders are working together to develop reports for haemophilia and contaminated blood. These reports are completed by groups which represent individuals with specific health conditions and impairments. They are intended to provide insight regarding the daily life and everyday challenges which individuals with these conditions may face to further support health professionals in future assessments.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is committed to supporting individuals effected by contaminated blood and continues to work closely with the DWP Working Group to ensure we fully support our claimants and make improvements where possible.</p>
