	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate he has made of any additional resources required to deliver an integrated care approach for 0-25 year olds with mental health problems across health, social care, education and the voluntary sector as outlined in the the NHS long-term plan.
	tabling member constituency	South Shields

	uin	208886
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government is taking steps to support greater integration of care to make the best use of existing resources, including the significant additional funding for children and young people’s mental health that NHS England will make available under its Long Term Plan.</p><p>The Government has already introduced requirements under special educational needs and disability (SEND) legislation for joint commissioning across education, health and social care. The Department and NHS England ran a training pilot designed to build links between schools and colleges and NHS services, which will be rolled out across England starting later this year. The Department is coordinating work with the higher education sector to improve support for students as they move to university.</p><p>The priority given to 0-25 mental health services under the Long Term Plan has the potential to support this work. In particular, it can allow greater continuity of support for vulnerable children for whom other support already extends beyond 18, and for university students.</p><p>Local decision making is important to ensure this change supports the effective use of resources. The additional £1.4 billion made available to develop capacity and capability across the system from 2015-20 has already started to result in increased provision. The funding is linked to local transformation plans, drawn up by clinical commissioning groups with other local partners, which are intended to cover the all provision from prevention to specialist services.</p><p>The introduction of new mental health support teams linked to schools and colleges will be an important part of developing collaboration between education and health services. These teams will be based in and near schools and colleges and make links to other services, including social care and the voluntary sector. The first 25 trailblazer areas will be fully operational by the end of 2019.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 21/01/2019 11:28:27 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

It will also place high-calibre graduate coaches in the most disadvantaged schools across the country to support pupils to catch up in key subjects. We will say more about the programme in due course.</p><p>The wider £650 million catch-up fund recognises that all pupils, irrespective of their background or location, have lost time in education.

	uin	176603
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2023 answer text <p>Since 2010, the number of pupils receiving a free school meal (FSM) has increased by more than two million. This increase in provision is due to the introduction of Universal Infant Free School Meals and protections put in place as benefit recipients move across to Universal Credit. Over a third of pupils in England now receive FSM, compared with one in six in 2010.</p><p>The Department believes that the current eligibility threshold level, which enables children in low income households to benefit from FSM, while remaining affordable and deliverable for schools, is the right one. The Department does not have plans to change the current eligibility conditions for FSM, but will continue to keep eligibility under review to ensure that these meals are supporting those who most need them. The Department continues to monitor the consequences of the rising cost of living and is working with other Government Departments to provide support to disadvantaged families.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 17/04/2023 15:34:20 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
