answer text <p>The Department does not collect this information. Ability to drive is not an eligibility condition for the higher rate mobility component of Disability Living Allowance. Eligibility is based, for example, on limitations in someone’s ability to freely manoeuvre outdoors without guidance or supervision or whether someone is unable or virtually unable to walk. People in receipt of the higher rate mobility component who wish to join the Motability scheme and lease a vehicle but who cannot drive can nominate a named driver to drive their Motability car.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We are undertaking a range of actions to improve telecoms infrastructure across the UK, including in rural areas.</p><p> </p><p>To date, we have invested £1.7 billion of public money and we have delivered 95% superfast broadband coverage of the UK, we will continue to support delivery with at least a further 2% coverage likely to be achieved. For those not covered by the superfast programme, our new broadband Universal Service Obligation (USO) will give everyone the right to request a connection with at least 10Mbps download speed.</p><p> </p><p>In the Spring 2017 Budget, £200m of funding was allocated to the Local Full Fibre Networks (LFFN) programme. This includes a £190m Challenge Fund designed to stimulate commercial investment in full fibre networks in both rural and urban locations across the UK. A £65m nationwide Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme to support connections to full fibre broadband has also been recently announced.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, £400 million of public funding has been made available for fibre connectivity through the Digital Infrastructure Investment Fund, which will unlock approximately £1 billion of private investment.</p><p> </p><p>Defra has also allocated £30 million of grant funding from the Rural Development Programme for England, targeted at helping to connect businesses with broadband in hard to reach rural areas.</p><p> </p><p>Beyond this, the Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review will assess what further changes could be made to create the competitive conditions to encourage the long term investment needed to deliver the next generation of digital infrastructure in different areas of the UK, including hard-to-reach rural areas.</p>

answer text <p>The Department has no immediate plans to trial integrated money advice in primary care settings. However, we are aware that general practitioner practices may signpost patients to debt advice services as part of their care and some practices have arrangements in place with local Citizens Advice Bureaux and debt advice services to provide outreach support in primary care. Mental health services, including Improving Access to Psychological Therapies services, may also signpost patients to debt advice services as part of their care.</p> more like this
