	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2018 answer text <p>The Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) was phased out from September 2011 with the final payments being made in August 2012. It was replaced with the 16-19 Bursary Fund which was available from September 2011. Students who began courses in 2010/11 and continued in 2011/12 could receive transitional support. Those from disadvantaged backgrounds who had received a full EMA award of £30 a week continued to receive EMA support at a lower level of £20 a week during 2011/12. Those in higher income brackets who had previously claimed a partial EMA award of £10 or £20 a week no longer received EMA, but all young people could apply for support from the 16 to 19 Bursary Fund.</p><p> </p><p>There was considerable research undertaken following the introduction of the 16 to 19 Bursary Fund to evaluate this new approach. The reports are available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evaluation-of-the-16-to-19-bursary-fund-year-1-report" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evaluation-of-the-16-to-19-bursary-fund-year-1-report</a>.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 24/01/2018 15:15:31 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2018 answer text <p>The Department is aware of the intermittent issues affecting the supply of Pneumococcal polysaccharide 23-valent vaccine (PPV 23 vaccine). We are working closely with Public Health England (PHE) and the supplier, MSD, on this issue and can confirm that further United Kingdom deliveries are expected to be made available over the coming months. Despite this, supplies are expected to be constrained for the foreseeable future. In order to mitigate the impact to patients, PHE has issued clinical guidance to general practitioners, which provides recommendations on how to manage patients who are eligible for vaccination during periods of constraint.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 24/01/2018 12:04:59 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
