The Government is committed to tackling air pollution. We have invested over £3.5 billion since 2010 to improve air quality and deliver cleaner transport.<\/p>
<\/p>
From 2020, all funds raised through Vehicle Excise Duty in England will be ring-fenced to form a National Roads Fund, which will be reinvested into the road network. We expect some of this investment to support environmental outcomes across the road network, which includes improving air quality.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4320", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Robert Jenrick"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newark"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Jenrick"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-07-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-07-19T11:19:49.267Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-07-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Motor Vehicles: Excise Duties"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will ring-fence a proportion of the revenue from Vehicle Excise Duty for projects to improve air quality.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4520", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Matthew Pennycook"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Greenwich and Woolwich"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Matthew Pennycook"} ], "uin" : "277795"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1138808", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1138808/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Since April 2017 NHS England has made £26.4 million funding available to enable clinical commissioning Groups (CCGs) to offer an expanded number of structured education places to support people with diabetes to manage their condition.<\/p>
In April 2019 NHS England and NHS Improvement wrote to all CCGs to make them aware that these funds could be used to commission digital approaches. They also provided information about digital programmes which have been assessed by NHS Digital and published on the NHS Apps Library and which have undergone independent quality assurance. A significant number of the programmes on the NHS Apps Library involve coaching for people living with type 2 diabetes.<\/p>
NHS England and NHS Improvement are currently working to widen access to digital self-management support for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes through the following:<\/p>
- Redeveloping and supporting implementation of \u2018Healthy Living for People with type 2 Diabetes\u2019 which is an online, self-management support tool comprising of a digitally delivered education course, that has been shown in a randomised controlled trial to significantly reduce average blood glucose levels and to reduce diabetes-related distress in those more recently diagnosed;<\/p>
- Investing £2 million through the NHS Test Bed Programme to implement and evaluate combinatorial digital delivery models for self-management education for people living with type 2 diabetes. A number of digital interventions being rolled out in the Test Beds include a coaching element and where successful NHS England plan to support wider adoption of these approaches; and<\/p>
- Commissioning NHS Digital to develop a new resource aimed specifically at people with a new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes to support them to self-manage. The site includes advice tailored to lifestyle and educational content which can be accessed online. It was launched in July 2018 on nhs.uk at the following link:<\/p>
