answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2023 answer text <p>The Adult Social Care Digital Transformation Fund helps care providers to digitise by providing financial support for the adoption of Digital Social Care Records (DSCRs) and other care technologies. This fund is part of the Digitising Social Care programme, which delivers commitments set out in People at the Heart of Care.

DSCRs have been shown to deliver significant productivity benefits, releasing up 20 minutes per care worker per shift on average. The programme works with teams in the integrated care systems across England to develop plans, track uptake of technology and collect evidence on the impact of this work.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 13/06/2023 11:26:50 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

tabling member constituency	Bath

uin	188085
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2023 answer text <p>The VAT relief for the supply of domestic fuel and power was not designed for charging electric vehicles (EVs) at home. However, the practical challenges of differentiating between the electricity used at home for general domestic purposes and the electricity used to charge EVs means that the relief is effectively being applied to EV charging at home.</p><p> </p><p>Although VAT policy has not been designed to incentivise the uptake of EVs, the Government is committed to supporting the transition to zero emission vehicles to help the UK meet its net zero obligations. The Government has already spent over £2 billion to support the transition. With this support, the EV transition is continuing at pace. In 2022, battery electric vehicles made up 16.6 per cent of all new cars sales, up from 11.5 per cent in 2021.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 12/06/2023 14:13:33 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
