answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2023 answer text <p>We will set out full details of future arrangements in due course. As we set out in the Government's Command Paper, for some arrangements we will provide time for businesses and operators to prepare - as on parcels, where the arrangements will be in place from October 2024. Others will be phased, as we have set out for the agrifood retail green lane. And some can be taken forward straight away, as with legislation to ensure that Northern Ireland will be able to apply zero rates of VAT to the installation of energy-saving materials.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/03/2023 17:45:20 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL6018
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2018 answer text <p>In 2017 the Government introduced ground-breaking regulations requiring large employers, in both the public and private sector, to publish annually the differences between what they pay their male and female staff in average salaries and bonuses. They must do this by the deadlines of March 30th for public sector organisations, and April 4th for private and voluntary organisations</p><p>The transparency generated by these regulations will motivate employers to identify barriers to women’s progression in the workplace, and to take action to address them. It will also drive employers to increase awareness of the work they are already undertaking to achieve gender equality.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 19/03/2018 16:08:40 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
uin	HL6018
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2016 answer text <p>The Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) commissioned Bain and Company to support vanguards as an extension to work previously commissioned from the company as part of a programme called Future Focused Finance, an initiative sponsored by the Department of Health and arm’s length bodies. This earlier work for the HFMA had focused on the design of a value-based decision effectiveness tool, piloted in Mid-Cheshire and Liverpool. The HFMA, in partnership with NHS England, commissioned the extension to this work so that the tool could be used to support value-based decision-making in the 2016-17 New Care Models programme.</p><p> </p><p>Alternatives were not sought from competitors because the vanguard support built on the original Bain and Company work for the HFMA.</p><p> </p><p>The value of the vanguard support contract is £650,000. Value for money was obtained by negotiation, having been benchmarked with other commissions made by the National Health Service to external health consultancies<em>. </em></p><p> </p><p>As part of the contract, Bain and Company will be handing over its approach to NHS England, so that NHS England can support other areas in implementing new care models.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Bain and Company has not been commissioned to assess evidence to support transformation and potential for replication of new care models in other areas. The company is commissioned to develop and implement a framework that appropriately experienced NHS staff can use to assess such evidence. Intellectual property rights in respect of the framework in the future are assigned to HFMA under the terms of the contract. The NHS is entitled to use the framework free of charge in perpetuity.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Bain and Company is involved in the development of the tool used to make the assessment, and in the implementation of the process to use that tool. The company is specifically commissioned to help vanguard sites to use the tool and to summarise the resulting value propositions to facilitate decision-making by NHS England.</p><p> </p><p>No conflict of interest arises as decisions concerning funding allocations for individual vanguards are made by NHS England's Executive Team and Investment Committee and not Bain and Company.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton grouped question UIN HL6017 HL6019 question first answered 23/02/2016 12:36:46 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton
