question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment his Department has made of the trends in the number of exempt schools that require an Ofsted inspection as a result of declining standards; and if he will undertake a review of the regulations exempting schools ranked as outstanding from routine inspections.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department has a responsibility to ensure that inspection arrangements are proportionate and achieve an appropriate balance between school autonomy and assurance. That is why we have asked Ofsted to increase the number of outstanding schools it inspects this year, based on its risk assessment, so that those most at risk of decline are inspected.</p><p>Given Ofsted inspects outstanding schools where it has specific concerns, it is to be expected that in some cases school performance will have declined. This demonstrates that the risk assessment process is working. Nevertheless, of the 305 risk based inspections of exempt schools undertaken by Ofsted between September 2018 and 31 March 2019, 70% were found to be outstanding or good.</p><p>Since 2017, the Department has given every local authority more money for every pupil in every school, and has allocated the biggest increases to those that have been most underfunded. The Department recognises the budgeting challenges schools face and continues to support schools to make the most of their budgets by reducing non staff costs such as energy, water bills and materials.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 266150 question first answered 24/06/2019 16:43:34 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

It is included within the curriculum for training all doctors, including for general practitioners, and in more depth within training for psychiatry, particularly child and adolescent psychiatrists.</p><p>The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee’s report following up the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s report, ‘Ignoring the alarms: How NHS eating disorder services are failing patients’, published on 18 June, made recommendations on the education and training of doctors in treating patients with eating disorders. The Government will consider these recommendations with Health Education England, the General Medical Council and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and will respond to the Committee’s report in due course.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 24/06/2019 16:42:38 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>Improving access to eating disorder support is a key priority for this Government and we are committed to ensuring that everyone with an eating disorder is able to access the appropriate specialist care when they need to.</p><p>The earlier treatment is provided, the greater the chance of recovery. It is therefore vital that everyone with an eating disorder can access quick, specialist help when necessary. We have set up the first waiting times standard to improve access to eating disorder services for children and young people with the aim that 95% of children with an eating disorder will receive treatment within one week for urgent cases and within four weeks for routine cases by 2020/21.</p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan commits to testing four-week waiting times for adult and older adult community mental health teams, in selected local areas. The exact scope and timelines of these pilots are yet to be finalised.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 24/06/2019 16:47:43 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

uin	266154
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>The approach of Labour, Conservative and the Coalition governments for the last 24 years since the 1995 pensions Act is the same. This Government’s position on the changes to State Pension age (SPa) remains clear and consistent.</p><p /><p>We have considered the alternative options offered by stakeholders and found there are substantial practical, financial and legal problems to all alternative options offered by stakeholders so far to mitigate the impact on those affected. During the passage of the 2011 Act, the Government listened to the concerns of those affected and subsequently introduced a concession worth £1.1 billion in order to limit the impact on those women who would be most affected by the changes.</p><p> </p><p>In the years after the 1995 legislation, equalisation was frequently reported in the media and debated at length in Parliament. The changes were communicated in a variety of ways, for example with leaflets, extensive advertising campaigns were carried out and later individual letters were posted out. Throughout this period, the Department has also provided individuals with their most up-to-date State Pension age when they have requested a Pension statement. Between April 2000 and the end of April 2019, the Department provided more than 28 million personalised State Pension statements to people who requested them (either online or by telephone or post). We continue to encourage people to request a personalised State Pension Statement as part of our on-going communications.</p><p> </p><p>This matter has been comprehensively debated on many occasions in Parliament, and any amendment to the current legislation which creates a new inequality between men and women would be highly dubious as a matter of law. The Government has no plans to publish a response to EDM 2390.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 24/06/2019 16:54:58 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
