uin	200405
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2023 answer text <p>The Department has not issued guidance on the use of out-of-date cancer treatment machinery as it is the responsibility of National Health Service systems to follow guidance from NHS England.</p><p>Recent Capital Planning Guidance from NHS England sets out the expectation that most radiotherapy equipment, particularly LINAC machines, will need to be replaced at ten years of age, to make progress on Long Term Plan priorities. The guidance states that integrated care systems need to develop replacement plans as part of their multi-year capital plans, in partnership with specialised commissioners, Cancer Alliances and Radiotherapy Operational Delivery Networks, based on an assessment of equipment age, capacity and demand, opportunities to improve access, and service risk.</p><p>At the 2021 Spending Review, £12.6 billion was awarded for NHS Operational Capital for 2022/23 to 2024/25. This accounts for the need to replace diagnostic and other equipment, and the need for NHS trusts to provide for replacements is recognised in the NHS Planning Guidance.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 16/10/2023 14:59:19 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

However, we recognise this is a concerning time for mortgage borrowers.</p><p> </p><p>The Prime Minister has been clear, the best and most important way that we can keep costs and interest rates down for people is to halve inflation, and then return it to the 2% target.</p><p> </p><p>On Friday 23 June the Chancellor met with mortgage lenders, UK Finance and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to discuss how lenders will provide support for those who encounter problems keeping up with their mortgage payments. At this meeting, lenders agreed to a new Mortgage Charter to support borrowers struggling with their mortgage payments that was published on 26 June. The Charter sets out the standards signatory lenders will adopt when helping their customers, including new flexibilities to help customers manage their mortgage payments over a short period.</p><p> </p><p>The Charter is in addition to the significant safeguards already in place for consumers in the mortgage market. Financial Conduct Authority rules require lenders to engage individually with their customers who are struggling or who are worried about their payments in order to provide tailored support. The Government has also taken measures aimed at helping people to avoid repossession, including Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI) loans, protection in the courts through the Pre-Action Protocol, and the Housing Loss Prevention Advice Service (HLPAS).</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 16/10/2023 09:19:43 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith
