The International GP Recruitment (IGPR) Programme was announced in August 2017 and recruitment began from April 2018. Prior to this, four pilot schemes were established between May 2016 and November 2017. Data on the number of general practitioners (GPs) who accepted a place on the IGPR programme and the pilot schemes and which countries they were recruited from for the years 2016/17 - 2019/20 could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.<\/p>

Staff involved in the IGPR Programme are undertaking wider workforce retention activities and the spend on international recruitment is therefore not separately identifiable. A number of staff roles are shared across general practice workforce initiatives to ensure maximum use of the available resource.<\/p>

NHS England, Health Education England, and partner organisations continue to review the effectiveness of all measures in place to increase the GP workforce, including international GP recruitment, as part of the wider development of a sustainable general practice workforce.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4455", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Seema Kennedy"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Ribble"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Seema Kennedy"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "255396"} , {"_value" : "255397"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-24T13:50:41.103Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-05-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "General Practitioners: Migrant Workers"} , "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, how many GPs have been recruited through the international GP recruitment programme in each of the last five years; and which countries those GPs were recruited from.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4679", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Neil O'Brien"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Harborough"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Neil O'Brien"} ], "uin" : "255395"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1121424", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1121424/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The £1,000 increase to the Universal Credit (UC) work allowance, announced in Budget 2018, will increase the amount that 2.4 million households can earn before their UC begins to be withdrawn. This change will enable working parents and people with disabilities on Universal Credit to keep over £630 extra income each year. The Budget 2018 work allowance change increased government support for UC by £1.7bn per year by 2023-24. No assessment has been made of the cost of a further £1,000 increase in the work allowances over and above those which were increased in Budget 2018.<\/p>

The safety and security of prisons is a top priority.<\/p>

<\/p>

Prisons already use body searches, metal-detecting scanners and drug detection dogs, and we have invested £7 million in modern technology, including phone blocking technology and improved searching techniques. As announced recently in the Budget, we will now spend an extra £30 million this financial year to further improve decency, safety and security in prisons.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We do not disclose details of our prison security defence capability, including our use of CCTV, for reasons of operational security. Additionally, complete information on the cost of installing and upgrading CCTV in prisons could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. For the financial year 2018-2019, the Ministry of Justice has 52 separate projects pertaining to the installation/upgrade of CCTV within prisons, at a cost of £2,213,769.93.<\/p>

The Department primarily allocates revenue funding for schools at local authority level. Individual schools\u2019 allocations are determined according to the local formula set by the local authority, in consultation with schools. It remains our intention that every school\u2019s budget should be set on the basis of a single, national formula, but we believe a period of transition will provide greater stability for schools.<\/p>

Revenue funding for schools allocated by the Department to Leicester, Leicestershire, and England in each year since 2013-14 is shown in the table below:<\/p>

Note that, in 2017-18, the balance between the Schools Block and High Needs block for every local authority was re-balanced, to reflect previous years\u2019 decisions on the local distribution of spending between schools, high needs and early years. In the case of Leicestershire, total funding increased in that year from £422.79m in 2016-17 to £431.44m in 2017-18.<\/p>

Prior to 2013-14, the Department did not break the dedicated schools grant (DSG) into specific blocks. Total DSG allocations for the years 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 are shown below, but these figures are not comparable to those above because they cover schools, high needs and early years funding.<\/p>

Funding for 2019-20 will be determined later this year, on the basis of the October 2018 census. The Department published notional allocations, based on 2017-18 pupil numbers and characteristics, alongside the outcome to the national funding formula consultation in September 2017. However, these figures were published to help to explain the impact of the introduction of the national funding formula; they are not comparable with the figures in the tables above as they do not take account of the actual pupil numbers used to calculate schools block allocations for 2018-19.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-05-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/891370/answer/previousversion/55089", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-05-10T16:30:42.317Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-04-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Schools: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding his Department allocated to schools in (a) Harborough constituency (b) Leicestershire (c) Leicester and (d) England in each financial year since 2010-11; and what estimate he has made of the funding that will be allocated to those areas under the National Funding Formula for (i) 2018-19 and (ii) 2019-20.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4679", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Neil O'Brien"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Harborough"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Neil O'Brien"} ], "uin" : "138114"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&houseId=1&max-ddpModified.=2019-05-24T14%3A22%3A04.641Z&answer.isMinisterialCorrection=false&creator.label=Biography+information+for+Neil+O%27Brien&version=2", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 13, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
