answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/01/2020 answer text <p>In January 2019, we published the first cross-Government suicide prevention workplan, which sets out an ambitious programme of work across national and local government and the National Health Service to reduce suicide rates across all age groups. This includes work to support children and young people through our Green Paper on children and young people’s mental health. The workplan also outlines action being taken to reduce suicide rates in high-risk groups such as men by, amongst other things, raising awareness and reducing stigma of mental health in this group.</p><p> </p><p>Through the NHS Long Term Plan, we are also investing £57 million in suicide prevention to support local suicide prevention plans and establish suicide bereavement support services. We have worked with NHS England to ensure that local areas use this funding to test approaches to reaching and engaging men in their local communities. We are also increasing investment in children’s and young people’s mental health services, meaning that, by 2023/24, an extra 345,000 children and young people aged 0-25 will receive mental health support via NHS-funded mental health services and school- or college-based mental health support teams.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 10/01/2020 14:13:22 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>On 29 November 2018, the Government introduced a ban of combustible materials in the external wall of buildings including blocks of flats, student accommodation and care homes with a storey more than 18 metres in height. The ban requires that all materials which become part of an external wall or specified attachment achieve European Class A2-s1, d0 or Class A1, other than those covered by exemptions. There are currently no timber cladding panels able to achieve this performance.</p><p>As stated in the explanatory memorandum the Department intends to review the ban annually through monitoring arrangements and advice from bodies such as Building Regulations Advisory Committee for England. <br> <br>The Department is currently in the process of reviewing the scope of the ban and will report in due course.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 07/01/2020 14:04:11 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2020 answer text <p>We are determined to find a long-term solution to the challenges in social care to ensure that every person is treated with dignity and offered the security they deserve. We will seek to build cross-party consensus and will outline next steps shortly.</p><p>Integration across health and social care enables improved co-operation and joint decision-making between health and social care partners in delivering shared outcomes. The Government is already taking steps to integrate health and social care funding through the Better Care Fund (BCF), the national policy driving forward the integration of health and social care in England.</p><p>In 2019, 93% of local areas agreed that joint working had improved as a result of the BCF. The budgets reflect that cooperation: local areas have voluntarily pooled around £2 billion above the minimum required into the BCF last year.</p><p>In the recent Spending Round, we confirmed that the BCF and the improved BCF will continue in 2020-21. We are currently reviewing how the BCF can best support the closer integration of health and care and will provide local areas with further details about the BCF beyond 2020 as part of an announcement on the review.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 09/01/2020 12:16:27 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

uin	81
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>My Department has not undertaken any recent formal assessment of local planning authorities’ powers to deal with fly-posting. However, local authorities already have extensive powers under the advertisement control regime in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and through community protection notices in the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 to tackle fly-posting. This includes the power to prosecute those responsible if they fail to comply with any enforcement action.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 07/01/2020 14:00:16 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
