The question as to whether the Fund should be extended, or the annual funding profile carried forward, will be given due consideration during the preparations for the next Spending Review, which will take place next year.</p><p>The Government recognises that the community-led housing sector offers significant potential for helping to meet housing need across England. In addition to helping increase the rate of delivery of new housing, it will help deliver a range of benefits including diversifying the housebuilding sector, improving design and construction quality, developing modern methods of construction, and sustaining local communities and local economies. The support and close involvement of the local community enables the community-led approach to secure planning permission and deliver housing that could not be brought forward through speculative development.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 06/12/2018 17:07:51 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>The vast majority of tenancies end without problem and it is only in a minority of cases that landlords seek repossession of their property through the courts. The English Housing Survey 2016-17 found that just 10 per cent of tenants moved because they were asked to leave or were given notice by their landlord and not all these cases involved in court proceedings.</p><p>Only a small percentage of moves in the private rented sector end in the courts. In England and Wales, there were 20,590 private landlord possession cases in 2016-2017, compared to the total of 1.1 million moves into and within the Private Rented Sector.</p><p>Landlords need to know they have the flexibility to get their property back quickly when their circumstances change. Without those assurances, landlords would be less willing to enter and stay in the market, which does not help tenants.</p><p>The government is committed to protecting the rights of tenants and giving them more security. We recently consulted on ways to overcome the barriers to landlords offering longer, more secure tenancies in the private rented sector. This included seeking views on the grounds under which a landlord should be able to recover their property.</p><p>Some landlords have expressed concerns about their ability to repossess their property through the courts. To better understand this we launched a call for evidence, on 13 November, to better understand the experience of courts and tribunal service users, including members of the judiciary, landlords and tenants, in property cases. This call for evidence will close on 22 January.</p><p>We want to consider carefully the responses to both the consultation on overcoming the barriers to longer tenancies, and the call for evidence on user experience of the courts, before making any policy decisions. We will provide more information on next steps in due course.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 03/12/2018 17:06:49 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

The guideline ‘Rheumatoid arthritis in adults: management’, updated by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in 2018, sets out best practice in the diagnosis, treatment, care and support of people with rheumatoid arthritis. The guidance recommends that patients should be offered psychological interventions (for example, relaxation, stress management and cognitive coping skills to help them to adjust to living with their condition).</p><p> </p><p>NICE’s guidelines represent best practice, are based on the available evidence and developed through wide consultation. Although guidelines are not mandatory, when exercising their judgement, National Health Service organisations and clinicians are expected to take this guideline fully into account as best practice, alongside the individual needs, preferences and values of their patients.</p><p> </p><p>As set out in the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health, the expansion of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies services now under way has a focus on helping people with long term conditions, including conditions such as arthritis.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 03/12/2018 14:19:44 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
