	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Local Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) are multi-agency partnerships (which include health services) and they determine which services are needed to address the needs of the children who offend in their area. As of June 2017, there were 127 full time equivalent posts for seconded mental health practitioners working in YOTs in England and Wales. This included 59.7 part time and 68 full time posts.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in England, are expected to work with NHS England and local partners across the NHS, public health, children and adult social care, youth justice and the education sectors, to jointly develop and take forward local plans to improve children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing, including children going through the youth justice system. In Wales, Local Health Boards (LHBs) are responsible for planning and delivering medical services, and aim to integrate specialist, secondary, community and primary care and health improvements. Even where there is no child psychologist or mental health professional embedded within the youth offending team, areas should have provision for children to access appropriate mental health support.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 09/09/2019 15:59:26 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is measuring National Wellbeing, not as an index but through a framework of 41 indicators which capture social progress around important aspects of life for individuals, communities and the nation. The statistics are experimental and as such we should not expect to have examples of major policies that have been heavily influenced by the wellbeing data at this stage.</p><p>Evidence provided to the Environmental Audit Committee for its Inquiry into Wellbeing can be found at:</p><p><a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/environmental-audit-committee/inquiries/parliament-2010/well-being/" target="_blank">http://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/environmental-audit-committee/inquiries/parliament-2010/well-being/</a></p><p>Most of our policies are targeted at specific groups in society - users of the justice system – so national measures are not necessarily useful indicators. Nonetheless public interest is at the forefront of all our policy development, and therefore is often designed to improve aspects of wellbeing. For example, we have a major programme of reform that we are implementing to transform the way we rehabilitate offenders. These important reforms mean that we are turning around the lives of offenders, delivering value for the taxpayer while protecting victims and making our communities safer.</p><p>We have also made reforms to the family justice system focusing primarily on promoting the wellbeing of children and supporting separating parents. Many of these reforms were enshrined in the Children and Families Act 2014.</p><p>Finally, the Mental Capacity Act 2005, for which the Ministry of Justice has responsibility, feeds into the wellbeing recommendations relating to mental health, treating citizens with respect and enabling greater empowerment.</p> answering member constituency Ashford answering member printed Damian Green question first answered 11/06/2014 09:52:25 answering member 76 label Biography information for Damian Green

	uin	216793
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2014 answer text The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) no longer holds information pertaining to the cost of collating the response given by the then Parliamentary Under-Secretary of Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the hon. Member for Sheffield Heeley (Meg Munn) on 15 September 2008 (PQ 218988). The guide to Parliamentary work (available on the Cabinet Office website at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guide-to-parliamentary-work and already in the Library of the House) sets out that Government departments can refuse to answer a question where the cost of responding to that question would be above the disproportionate cost threshold, which is currently set at £850. The FCO has calculated that any answer which involves consulting all Ambassadors and High Commissioners in our overseas Network would exceed this threshold. answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 09/12/2014 15:07:49 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
