The performance of the card is kept under regular review and the views of reputable partners such as the Red Cross are carefully considered but the Government is satisfied that it is an effective way of ensuring the individuals are able to meet their essential living needs and not left destitute.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Government has now agreed the Withdrawal Agreement with the European Commission, which includes an implementation period that will run from March 2019 until December 2020. During this time, the supply of medicines will remain unchanged. As a responsible Government, however, we continue to prepare proportionately for all scenarios, including ‘no deal’.</p><p>On 23 August 2018, the Department wrote to all pharmaceutical companies that supply prescription only medicines and pharmacy medicines to the United Kingdom that come from, or via, the European Union or European Economic Area (EEA) asking them to ensure a minimum of six weeks’ additional supply in the UK, over and above existing business-as-usual buffer stocks, by 29 March 2019.</p><p>We have received very good engagement from industry who share our aims of ensuring continuity of medicines supply for patients is maintained and able to cope with any potential delays at the border that may arise in the short term in the event of a ‘no deal’ EU exit. In the light of this engagement, the Department is currently considering how best it may support those companies taking part in the contingency planning.</p><p>Additionally, a tender process to procure additional warehouse space for stockpiled medicines, including ambient, refrigerated and controlled drug storage, was undertaken in October 2018. Contract agreements for storage have recently been signed or are imminent. This is expected to cost the Government in the low tens of millions of pounds.</p><p>Whilst the six-week stockpiling activity remains a critical part of our contingency plans, this has been supplemented with additional actions. The Government recognises the importance of medicines and is working to ensure that there is sufficient roll-on, roll-off freight capacity to enable these vital products to continue to move freely in to the UK from 29 March in a ‘no deal’ scenario. The Department is working closely with the Department for Transport to ensure all medicines and medical products are prioritised on these alternative routes to ensure that the flow of all these products will continue unimpeded after 29 March 2019.</p><p>On 7 December 2018, the Department wrote to pharmaceutical companies that supply licensed medicines to the UK from or via the EU/EEA, and/or manufacture medicines in the UK, informing them of the updated reasonable worst-case scenario border planning assumptions and asking them about their current transportation routes and their ability to re-route their supply chains if they currently rely on Dover and/or Folkestone. Since then we have been working closely with those companies to better understand their supply chains and the potential for rerouting in a ‘no deal’ scenario.</p><p> </p>

The US also initiated a series of meetings on INF with close Allies in 2017 and 2018, during which we discussed the US approach and exchanged detailed information on the Russian violation and how we might best achieve our shared policy objectives.</p><p>NATO Allies first expressed concerns about Russian non-compliance with its INF Treaty obligations in 2014. In the last two years, there has been an intensification of Allied activity to encourage Russia to return to compliance.</p><p>We, along with NATO Allies, support the US decision to suspend its participation in the INF Treaty and start the treaty's formal withdrawal process. A situation whereby the US was fully aiding by the INF Treaty and Russia was not, was not sustainable. Following the US announcement, NATO issued a statement declaring full support for US action and urging Russia to use the six month withdrawal period to return to full and verifiable compliance to preserve the INF Treaty.</p>

Licensing data only provides a partial indication of sales as exporters only declare export values for a subsection of licences (Standard Individual Export Licences).

star this property answer text <p>This Government wants thriving rural areas with strong and sustainable economies and vibrant communities, and for those living and working in rural areas to have the same opportunities as those in towns and cities.</p><p> </p><p>Our rural communities already have many strengths. Employment in rural areas is higher than the UK average, and unemployment lower. Well-being is higher. The Government has, however, taken steps to address the challenges faced by rural communities.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises the importance of fast and reliable broadband and mobile connectivity in rural areas. Superfast broadband is now available to over 96% of UK premises and is expected to reach around 97% over the next few years. The Universal Service Obligation will ensure universal broadband coverage of at least 10Mbps by 2020. The Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review published in July last year proposed an ‘outside in’ approach to delivery of full fibre which will ensure that the final 10% of premises across the UK, mostly in rural areas, are not left behind.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport has funded 37 pilot “Total Transport” schemes to improve rural transport and supported community transport operators by providing £25 million of funding through the Community Minibus Fund for over 400 new vehicles.</p><p> </p><p>Rural businesses can qualify for rate relief if they are in an area with a population below 3,000, and if they are either the only village shop with a rateable value of up to £8,500, or the only public house or petrol station with a rateable value of up to £12,500.</p><p> </p><p>In December 2017, the Government announced £370 million of funding (from April 2018 to March 2021) to secure the future of the UK’s Post Office network. Of that funding, £160 million is helping to protect the “last shop in the village” community branches and to ensure everyone continues to have access to their local branch.</p><p> </p><p>On healthcare, the Government has extended the Targeted Enhanced Recruitment Scheme which provides a £20,000 salary supplement for newly qualified GPs who take up offers to work in hard to recruit areas. In 2018, 265 places were funded and a further 276 locations have been identified for posts commencing in August 2019. The Pharmacy Access Scheme is safeguarding a baseline level of patient access to a bricks and mortar pharmacy, protecting rural pharmacies and this vital service for rural communities.</p><p> </p><p>Defra will soon be launching a £3 million grant fund to help improve village halls, making them more accessible and useful to the communities they serve and helping to alleviate issues such as isolation and loneliness. Linked to this Defra has set up a rural loneliness forum and is encouraging the Defra-funded network of rural community councils to focus on actions to tackle loneliness as part of the Government’s Loneliness Strategy.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS), formerly known as the National Offender Management Service, does not calculate separately the costs by type of sentence. The information recorded on the HMPPS central accounting system does not allow the identification of such costs. However, an average cost per prisoner, costs per prison place and overall prison unit costs for each private and public sector prison in England and Wales are routinely published by HMPPS. This information is produced on an annual basis and is published after the end of each financial year.</p><p>Information on prison expenditure can be accessed in the Prison and Probation Performance Statistics pages for each financial year on the <a href="http://www.gov.uk" target="_blank">www.gov.uk</a> website. Prison unit costs can be found within the Excel document Costs per prison place and cost per prisoner by individual prison establishment in the ‘Cost by Establishment’ tab.</p><p>A specific figure on the amount of subsidy provided for a hostel bed space is not available. The 2016 Supported Accommodation Review, published by DWP and MHCLG, showed that the estimated average weekly Housing Benefit award for working-age claimants living in supported housing in England (which would include those living in hostels) was £180 per week, attached (see Table B.11, page 119). <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/572454/rr927-supported-accommodation-review.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/572454/rr927-supported-accommodation-review.pdf</a></p><p>The Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy. This sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. The Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.</p>

The UK Government is seeking agreements with Member States, so that no individual, including UK nationals living in other EU Member States, will face sudden changes to their healthcare cover. These discussions are ongoing.</p><p>The Government has brought forward legislation to enable us to implement new reciprocal healthcare arrangements. The Healthcare (European Economic Area and Switzerland Arrangements) Act received Royal Assent on 26 March 2019 and will provide us with the power to fund and implement comprehensive reciprocal healthcare arrangements after we leave the EU. We have also laid three Statutory Instruments which will give us the specific legal basis to implement our proposal.</p><p>General information is available online on the GOV.UK website and country-specific advice can be found under the relevant sections of NHS.UK.</p>
