answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2022 answer text The Government has been clear that it expects all those in the supply chain to pass the fuel duty cut through to consumers in full.<p> </p><p>In June, the Business Secretary requested that the independent Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) undertake an urgent review of the market for road fuel.

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to invest in preventative healthcare; and what assessment they have made of the effect of such investment on (1) the waiting lists for hospital treatment, and (2) demand for NHS services generally.
tabling member printed	Baroness Greengross
uin	HL1524
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2021 answer text <p>Local authorities in England receive a public health grant to support their statutory duty to improve the health of their population. The public health grant to local authorities in England has increased from £3.279 billion in 2020/21 to £3.324 billion in 2021/22.</p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan commits to a range of actions to prevent ill health, including the prevention of up to 150,000 heart attacks, strokes and dementia cases over a 10 year period. Although no formal assessment has yet been made on the effects on investing in preventative healthcare on waiting lists and demand, it is estimated there will be a significant positive impact on National Health Service waiting lists as part of recovery from the pandemic. Preventative interventions can deliver significant health benefits for individuals as well as reducing the burden of preventable illness on the NHS.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 08/07/2021 11:28:21 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell

tabling member printed	Lord Fox
uin	HL1524
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2020 answer text <p>The apprenticeship levy underpins our reforms to raise apprenticeship quality and supports employers to make long-term, sustainable investments in the skills that they need to grow.</p><p>The levy is collected by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs from all UK employers with a pay bill above £3 million. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland receive a share of levy funding, which increased to £459 million in 2019-20. It is for the devolved administrations to decide how funds raised from the levy should be used.</p><p>The funds available to levy-paying employers through their apprenticeship service accounts are not the same as the Department for Education’s annual apprenticeships budget, which is set to fund apprenticeships in England only, and is set irrespective of actual of levy receipts. We do not anticipate that all employers who pay the levy will need or want to use all the funds available to them, but they are able to if they wish. In the 2019-20 year, over £2.5 billion is available for investment in apprenticeships in England. This is double what was spent in 2010.</p><p>The apprenticeship budget is used to fund training for new apprenticeship starts in levy and non-levy paying employers and to cover the ongoing costs of apprentices already in training<em>. </em>It is also used to cover the cost of end-point assessment and any additional payments made to employers and/or providers, including for apprentices who are 16 to 18, 19 to 24 and have previously been in care, or who need additional support to achieve the English and maths requirements.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Berridge question first answered 25/02/2020 16:54:23 answering member 4218 label Biography information for Baroness Berridge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2014 answer text <p>Information is collected each month to measure performance against the waiting time standards for consultant-led treatment for non-urgent conditions. The data measures the number of patients who waited each month and the number of weeks they waited from referral to start treatment. It distinguishes between those patients who are admitted into hospital and those who are non-admitted (for example, outpatients). It does not identify appointments. The data also measures the number of patients who had not yet started treatment at the end of each month and the number of weeks they were waiting.</p><p> </p><p>The requested information has been placed in the Library. It does not sum to published national figures, because it excludes other organisations who submitted data over the time period including primary care trusts and the independent sector.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe grouped question UIN HL1525 HL1526 HL1527 HL1528 HL1529 HL1554 HL1555 HL1556 question first answered 30/07/2014 11:16:18 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe attachment 1 file name HL1524 - HL1525 - HL1526 - HL1527 - HL1528 - HL1529 - HL1554 - HL1555 - HL1556 - Lib Doc Table.xlsx title NHS patient waiting times by Trust
