star this property answer text <p /> <p>HSE targets industry sectors for proactive inspection according to the framework for health and safety set out in the 2011 Coalition Government publication ‘Good health and safety, good for everyone’, which can be found on-line at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/good-health-and-safety-good-for-everyone" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/good-health-and-safety-good-for-everyone</a>.</p><p>HSE employs a broad range of interventions to bring about improvements in occupational safety and health within industry sectors. Direct interventions include inspection, investigation and safety case assessment in major hazard sectors. Indirect interventions include the use of information and campaigns, guidance and engagement with intermediaries to raise awareness of duties, risks and to promote compliance across all workplaces in a sector.</p><p>HSE’s choice of intervention strategy for any particular sector takes into account a combination of factors including the actual level of risk within the sector, the industry's injury and ill-health record, its structure and commitment to improving occupational safety and health, and the effectiveness and efficiency of different types of intervention.</p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>In January 2015, Health Education England (HEE), alongside NHS England, the Royal College of General Practitioners and the British Medical Association’s General Practitioners Committee, jointly published <em>Building the Workforce – the new deal for general practice </em>which set out an action plan to increase general practitioner (GP) numbers. This plan, which has been allocated £10 million of the Primary Care Infrastructure Fund for this year, includes a campaign targeted at recruitment to GP training which is due to commence later this month. HEE is currently in discussions with NHS England regarding the budget to be committed to this campaign. Any further allocations for such work to continue during 2016-17 and 2017-18 will, if necessary, be determined as part of the wider Spending Review negotiations across Government.</p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Large investment funds effectively comprise the investments of individuals, whether via their pension funds, insurance contracts, or other savings and investment products. The decision to invest in companies’ shares directly, or indirectly through a fund, is a matter for individual investors.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government has taken a variety of steps to encourage individual saving, and retail investment in shares in particular. For example, we have:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>- Reduced the starting rate of income tax for savings;</p><p> </p><p>- Increased the maximum annual amount which can be invested in an Individual Savings Account (ISA) to £15,240 in the 2015-16 tax year, and provided savers with greater flexibility to withdraw their money and put it back in to an ISA within the same year, without losing their tax benefits;</p><p> </p><p>- Introduced, from April 2016, a new tax-free Personal Savings Allowance of £1,000 (or £500 for higher rate taxpayers) of interest earned on savings (taking 95 per cent of taxpayers out of savings tax altogether) as well as a new £5,000 tax-free dividend allowance for all taxpayers;</p><p> </p><p>- Allowed shares from growth markets such as the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) to be held in ISAs - making investment in the growth markets easier;</p><p> </p><p>- Abolished stamp duty on AIM shares, attracting further investment into growing companies and reducing the cost of raising capital for those companies.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
