£220 million is the estimated cost to government of the employer National Insurance relief on Employer Supported Childcare. That relief does not go directly to parents to help with the cost of childcare, but to employers, and the voucher providers they use, to administer the schemes. Government does not hold details about the administration costs incurred by employers for childcare voucher schemes.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4097", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Elizabeth Truss"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Norfolk"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Elizabeth Truss"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-03-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-03-01T14:10:47.927Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-02-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Childcare Vouchers"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 8 February 2018 to Question 126730 and the oral evidence of the Chief Secretary to the Treasury to the Treasury Committee on Childcare on 31 January 2018, HC 757, if he will publish a breakdown of the (a) £220 million per year administration costs and (b) any other operating costs associated with the childcare voucher scheme.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4125", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Catherine McKinnell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Catherine McKinnell"} ], "uin" : "129635"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/850068", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/850068/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
NHS England in the North East and Cumbria commission in-patient services for children and young people with a mental illness, learning disabilities, autism and eating disorders. Young people have access to assessment and treatment units, psychiatric intensive care, low security and medium security, a complex neurodevelopmental service, and eating disorder outreach.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England is undertaking a National Service Review of all Children and Young People\u2019s Mental health (CYPMHS) Tier 4 services. This process is nationally driven and locally implemented, the focus being to redistribute the number of CYPMHS beds nationally to ensure the local need is met within each Specialised Commissioning Hub.<\/p>
<\/p>
The North East and Cumbria Hub has reviewed local activity and demand and has developed an implementation plan which outlines the number and type of beds required in region to reduce the number of out-of-area admissions.<\/p>
<\/p>
Running alongside the National Service Review are the two-year New Care Model Pilots. This is a nationally developed programme to transfer the budget for Tier 4 services to providers, enabling them to invest in the whole pathway, developing community services and reducing the reliance on in-patient beds. In the North East and Cumbria there are two pilots, which cover the whole hub. The providers are Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust and Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust. Both business cases focus on the development of 24-hour crisis services and improved community provision across both providers\u2019 areas, reducing lengths of stay, number of out-of-area placements and reliance on in-patient beds. NHS England is working closely with the providers on the implementation and evaluation of these pilots.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4065", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thurrock"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jackie Doyle-Price"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-03-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-03-01T14:29:12.187Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-02-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Mental Health Services: Children and Young People"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of mental health services for children and young people in the North East.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4125", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Catherine McKinnell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Catherine McKinnell"} ], "uin" : "129636"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/850069", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/850069/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The quality of all services, including services in accident and emergency (A&E) departments, is continually reviewed as part of Sustainability and Transformation Partnership working.<\/p>
<\/p>
To support A&E services this winter, an additional £437 million of funding was provided by the Government to support increased demand over winter and an extra £1 billion of funding has been provided to be spent on meeting adult social care needs, supporting the social care market and reducing pressure on the National Health Service this year.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS trusts in the North East have received over £22 million of funding to support winter capacity and the delivery of primary care streaming in A&E departments. This funding has supported trusts to implement a range of actions to support increased demand within A&E departments including an increased workforce during the busiest periods, the opening of additional escalation beds and the provision of community support to reduce admissions into hospital.<\/p>
<\/p>
For 2018/19, the NHS has been given an additional £1.6 billion to be used by the NHS to treat a quarter of a million more patients in A&E above the 23.5 million it expects to treat this financial year.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4095", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Barclay"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Cambridgeshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Stephen Barclay"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-03-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-03-01T14:21:57.327Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-02-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Accident and Emergency Departments: North East"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of A&E services provided in the North East.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4125", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Catherine McKinnell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Catherine McKinnell"} ], "uin" : "129637"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/850070", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/850070/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
On 5 July 2016 we published Our Commitment to you for end of life care, which set out what everyone should expect from their care at the end of life and the actions we are taking to make high quality, personalised care a reality for everyone by 2020. Our Commitment stated that everyone should have the opportunity to develop and document a personalised care plan based on what matters to them, including: advance decisions; preferences about where they would like to be cared for and would want to die; and to review and revise this plan throughout the duration of their illness.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England and the Ambitions for End of life Care partnership have made available a range of resources to support commissioners to deliver advance care planning for families and patients, including an end of life care toolkit and care planning guidance. Over the last year, additional support has been made available in the form of new guidance on end of life care planning for people with dementia, as well as an online training course to support volunteers to understand what advance care planning is and how to deliver it; as well as how to assist others with advance care planning. Both resources can be found at the links below:<\/p>
