answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2024 answer text <p>It is important that the correct start date is captured for patients who transfer from a referral to treatment (RTT) pathway between providers. For patients that move between different areas of England and transfer to a new provider, including children who may relocate out of an area due to housing pressures, there is an established Inter Provider Transfer process which ensures that the patient is transferred with the same RTT clock start date, so that the new provider considers the amount of time the patient has already waited. This is detailed in Section 11.3 of NHS England’s Recording and reporting RTT waiting times for consultant-led elective care guidance, which is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/02/Recording-and-reporting-referral-to-treatment-RTT-waiting-times-for-consultant-led-elective-care-v4-1.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/02/Recording-and-reporting-referral-to-treatment-RTT-waiting-times-for-consultant-led-elective-care-v4-1.pdf</a></p><p>Data on the number of children that have lost their place on waiting lists for health and care services as a result of relocating out of area due to housing pressures is not collected, therefore no estimate has been made.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 23/05/2024 16:39:26 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2024 answer text <p>DLUHC is investing £1.2 billion through the Homelessness Prevention Grant over three years, including a £109 million top-up for 2024/25, to ensure that families can move out of temporary accommodation and into stable accommodation, as well as reducing the need for temporary accommodation by preventing homelessness before it occurs.</p><p>To help schools tackle the challenges facing disadvantaged pupils, including pupils who might be in temporary accommodation or experiencing homelessness, and to improve children’s educational outcomes, the department has provided pupil premium funding since 2011. Pupil premium funding is increasing to over £2.9 billion this financial year which will ensure that the most disadvantaged pupils receive the support they need to succeed at school.</p><p>In 2024/25, the department has targeted a greater proportion of schools’ National Funding Formula towards deprived pupils than ever before with over £4.4 billion of the formula allocated according to deprivation in 2024/25, and over £7.8 billion through additional needs factors based on deprivation, low prior attainment, English as an additional language and mobility. This is alongside various support programmes including free school meals, the National School Breakfast Club programme and the Holiday Activities and Food programme. The department is also targeting support at young people who most need help with the costs of staying in post-16 education and training, through the 16-19 bursary and has extended free meals to disadvantaged 16 to 18 year old students attending further education institutions.</p><p>The department is prioritising the attendance of vulnerable children in education, including those who are in temporary accommodation, by introducing stronger expectations of schools, trusts, and local authorities to work together to tackle absence set out in guidance that will become statutory in August 2024, including an expectation on schools to identify at-risk pupils and work with families to support absent students and, from September 2024, introducing a mandatory attendance data tool, allowing them to identify pupils at risk of persistent absence and to enable early intervention.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed David Johnston question first answered 24/05/2024 13:21:07 answering member 4761 label Biography information for David Johnston

uin	27059
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2024 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has made no such assessment. The English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS) provides free off-peak bus travel to those with eligible disabilities and those of state pension age, currently sixty-six, and was set up primarily to help older and disabled people. ENCTS costs around £1 billion annually and any changes to the minimum statutory scheme would need to be carefully considered for their impact on the scheme’s financial sustainability.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities in England have the power to go beyond their statutory obligations and extend free bus travel to other groups that are eligible under ENCTS, which includes children under the age of 16 and 16-18 year olds in full time education. However, these discretionary concessions are not funded by central government but by local authorities from local resources, such as council tax. Since 2010/11, almost all of the travel concession authorities in England have offered some form of discretionary concession. Bus operators are also able to provide discretionary concessions on a commercial basis.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 23/05/2024 13:34:29 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman

uin	21071
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2024 answer text <p>NHS England is responsible for negotiating commercial agreements with individual companies, and the Department encourages companies to come forward with proposals that represent value to the taxpayer. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published final draft guidance for appeal on the use of trastuzumab deruxtecan for the treatment of HER2-low metastatic or unresectable breast cancer after chemotherapy, and was unable to recommend it as a clinically and cost effective use of National Health Service resources at the price offered by the company. Following extensive discussions through late 2023 and into 2024, NHS England is no longer engaged in any active commercial negotiations on this topic, but remains available to work with the NICE, should AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo be willing to offer trastuzumab deruxtecan at a price that represents value to the NHS.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 22/04/2024 16:13:29 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

However, it will not suit everyone and anyone who wishes to pursue the full claims process is able to do so.</p><p>The Horizon Shortfall Scheme fixed sum is set at the same level as the GLO to ensure consistency between the two schemes.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake grouped question UIN 19080 question first answered 25/03/2024 16:54:19 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake
