answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2022 answer text <p>Pathological demand avoidance (PDA) is a term used to describe complex or extreme behaviours seen in some autistic people and professional consensus on its status is still required. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s guideline ‘Autism spectrum disorder in under 19s: recognition, referral and diagnosis’ recommends that during autism assessments, healthcare workers should consider PDA and make any appropriate referrals. The national autism strategy, published on 21 July 2021, aims to raise understanding of autism amongst health care professionals. We are developing and trialling the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training in learning disability and autism, to ensure health and social care staff have the skills and knowledge to provide safe, compassionate and informed care.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chichester answering member printed Gillian Keegan question first answered 08/03/2022 14:46:57 answering member 4680 label Biography information for Gillian Keegan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) provides funding for staffing and business costs to support MPs in their parliamentary functions, in line with the rules and general conditions set out in its Scheme.</p><p>MPs may claim for the cost of reasonable food and travel expenses to be paid to volunteers who are supporting their parliamentary work, to ensure they are not out of pocket as a result of their volunteer activities. This may include, for example, the purchase of lunch when working away from home. Volunteer expenses may only be reimbursed to cover actual costs incurred as a result of supporting the MP and are not intended to be used as a daily food allowance to fund the consumption of food and drink in a volunteer's own home.</p> answering member constituency Broxbourne answering member printed Sir Charles Walker question first answered 11/01/2021 14:26:07 answering member 1493 label Biography information for Sir Charles Walker
