answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2017 answer text <p>The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) does not take into account a person’s “lifestyle” in calculating a maintenance liability.</p><p> </p><p>The CMS has access to income information held by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), allowing us to capture a much wider range of income types received by Paying Parents. The definition of income within the 2012 scheme includes almost all additional sources of gross income captured by self-assessment. We refer to this as “unearned income” and it includes incomes from property, savings and investments (including dividends) and other miscellaneous incomes.</p><p> </p><p>This provides a more effective route to taking these kinds of income into account than the “lifestyle” ground which existed for the previous schemes of maintenance.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 20/01/2017 10:36:32 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2017 answer text <p>The new congenital heart disease (CHD) standards were approved by the NHS England Board in July 2015. The paper which NHS England’s CHD review team submitted to the Board at that time set out that:</p><p> </p><p>“We found no published evidence on the effects of proximity of other services so the proposed standards are based on expert opinion. Our clinical advisers strongly advocated co-location with other paediatric services, though they recognised that not everyone agrees. They considered that while responsiveness was one important factor, it was not the only thing that mattered. Delivering these services effectively requires the input of the wider paediatric multidisciplinary team, and the interaction between these teams on a daily basis, when co-located, is considered to be of significant benefit to patients.”</p><p> </p><p>The full paper can be found on NHS England’s website at:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Item-4-CHD-Report.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Item-4-CHD-Report.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 19/01/2017 16:39:51 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
