I understand that, as of 13 May 2014, 36 of the 39 territorial police forces in
England - plus British Transport Police - are currently signed up to local
protocols for those detained under the Mental Health Act 1983. The other 3
forces report that they are in the process of agreeing such protocols with
local partner agencies.
The agreement of mental health protocols by local agencies is promoted at
national level, including through the Mental Health Act 1983 Codes of Practice
and the new national Mental Health Crisis Care Concordat, which states that:
\u2018Every area should have a local protocol in place, agreed by NHS commissioners,
the police force, the ambulance service, and social services. This should
describe the approach to be taken when a police officer uses powers under the
Mental Health Act'.
The Mental Health Crisis Care Concordat can be found at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/281242
/36353_Mental_Health_Crisis_accessible.pdf
The Department of Health, supported by the Home Office and Mind, is encouraging
local areas to sign-up to the principles of the Concordat, with the expectation
that all areas in England will have signed local declarations by December
2014. The Department of Health will publish details of the areas that have
signed such declarations.<\/p>

Labour's legacy<\/em><\/p> The last Labour Government had a policy of actively pushing fortnightly bin collections and hitting hard-working families with new bin charges.Their \u2018Household Waste Prevention Policy Side Research Programme' advocated \u201ccollection limitations in terms of rubbish bin size or the interval between collections\u201d, and sought to \u201cnationalise this policy among local authorities\u201d. Cutting weekly rubbish collections was not a locally-led initiative, but an explicit Whitehall mission pursued with the zeal of a convert.<\/p> Legislation in 2005 allowed the introduction of bin fines for minor breaches of complex and confusing bin rules; further legislation in 2008 watered down councils' legal duties to collect rubbish. Guidance issued in 2005 advised town halls that councillors should be bullied to stop them opposing the axing of collections or proposing to restore weekly collections. It also recommended that cutting collections should be done after local elections \u2013 to avoid the nuisance of democratic opposition. The Government funded the covert imposition of \u201cbin brother\u201d microchips into families' bins. The 2009 Pre-Budget Report made clear that a further wave of bin cuts were being planned. In short, the \u201cTown Hall Talibin\u201d doubled council tax and halved bin collections.<\/p> We disagree. This Government believes that households deserve a frequent and comprehensive rubbish and recycling service in return for the £122 a month in council tax that a typical household pays (Band D), especially given the typical refuse collection service only costs councils £6 to £7 per month to provide.<\/p> What we've done<\/em><\/p> We have taken a series of steps to help households:<\/p> <\/p> · Issued the first ever Whitehall guidance on weekly bin collections, demolishing the myths that fortnightly bin collections are needed to save money or increase recycling;<\/p> <\/p> · Stopped the Audit Commission inspections which marked down councils who do not adopt fortnightly rubbish collections, and rejected the Audit Commission guidance which advocated fortnightly collections (Waste Management: The Strategic Challenge<\/em> and Waste Management Quick Guide<\/em>).<\/p> <\/p> · Abolished the Local Area Agreements and National Indicator 191 imposed by Whitehall which created perverse incentives to downgrade waste collection services;<\/p> <\/p> · Scrapped the Whitehall requirement for municipal Annual Efficiency Statements, which allowed a reduction in the frequency of a household rubbish collection service to qualify as a \u201cvalid efficiency\u201d and allowed revenue from bin fines to classed as a \u201ccashable efficiency gain\u201d;<\/p> <\/p> · Scrapped the imposition of eco-towns which would have had fortnightly bin collections and/or bin taxes as part of the \u201ceco-standards\u201d;<\/p> <\/p> · Safeguarded weekly collections for 6 million households through the Weekly Collection Support Scheme as well as championing innovation and best practice;<\/p> <\/p> · Supported over 40 innovative reward schemes to back recycling through the Weekly Collection Support Scheme (as pledged in the Coalition Agreement);<\/p> <\/p> · Through the Localism Act, revoked the 2008 legislation that allowed for the imposition of new bin taxes;<\/p> <\/p> · Issued guidance to stop the imposition of illegal \u2018backdoor bin charging' on households bins;<\/p> <\/p> · Stopped funding the \u2018Waste Improvement Network' which told councils to adopt fortnightly collections as best practice;<\/p> <\/p> · Challenged the incorrect interpretation by some bodies that European Union directives require fortnightly collections, and resisted the imposition of bin taxes by the European Union;<\/p> <\/p> · Removing powers of entry and snooping powers from \u201cBinquisition\u201d inspectors and scrapped guidance telling councils to rifle through families' bins;<\/p> <\/p> · Changing building regulations to tackle \u2018bin blight'; and<\/p> <\/p> · Changing the law through the Deregulation Bill to scrap unfair bin fines.<\/p> In short, this has been a fundamentally different approach from the Labour Government: we are working with families to help them go green, but believe in proper, regular and comprehensive collections for taxpaying households.<\/p> The configuration of services is complex. The table below, based on available estimates from WRAP, provide the most detailed information held on the breakdown of refuse and recycling collections of \u2018smelly' rubbish across councils in England.<\/p> Weekly collections of smelly rubbish<\/em><\/p> <\/p> Councils<\/em><\/p><\/td> Weekly Residual + Separate Weekly Food Waste<\/em><\/p><\/td> Weekly Residual + Weekly mixed food and garden waste<\/em><\/p><\/td> Weekly Residual + fortnightly mixed food and garden waste<\/em><\/p><\/td> Weekly Residual and no separate food waste collection<\/em><\/p><\/td> Weekly Food Waste + Fortnightly Residual<\/em><\/p><\/td> Weekly mixed food and garden waste + Fortnightly Residual <\/em><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Jun-11<\/p><\/td> 33<\/p><\/td> 11<\/p><\/td> 19<\/p><\/td> 189<\/p><\/td> 45<\/p><\/td> 7<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Nov-11<\/p><\/td> 31<\/p><\/td> 9<\/p><\/td> 20<\/p><\/td> 190<\/p><\/td> 52<\/p><\/td> 10<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Jan-12<\/p><\/td> 33<\/p><\/td> 8<\/p><\/td> 20<\/p><\/td> 189<\/p><\/td> 54<\/p><\/td> 11<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Feb-12<\/p><\/td> 33<\/p><\/td> 8<\/p><\/td> 17<\/p><\/td> 182<\/p><\/td> 58<\/p><\/td> 11<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Aug-12<\/p><\/td> 39<\/p><\/td> 8<\/p><\/td> 21<\/p><\/td> 181<\/p><\/td> 61<\/p><\/td> 12<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Sep-12<\/p><\/td> 39<\/p><\/td> 8<\/p><\/td> 20<\/p><\/td> 179<\/p><\/td> 62<\/p><\/td> 12<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> <\/em><\/p> <\/p> Households<\/em><\/p><\/td> Weekly Residual + Separate Weekly Food Waste<\/em><\/p><\/td> Weekly Residual + Weekly mixed food and garden waste<\/em><\/p><\/td> Weekly Residual + fortnightly mixed food and garden waste<\/em><\/p><\/td> Weekly collection and no separate food waste collection<\/em><\/p><\/td> Weekly Food Waste + Fortnightly Residual<\/em><\/p><\/td> Weekly mixed food and garden waste + Fortnightly Residual <\/em><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Jun-11<\/p><\/td> 1,296,296<\/p><\/td> 405,719<\/p><\/td> 718,292<\/p><\/td> 10,480,876<\/p><\/td> 1,750,654<\/p><\/td> 353,001<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Nov-11<\/p><\/td> 1,079,984<\/p><\/td> 479,151<\/p><\/td> 998,017<\/p><\/td> 9,694,524<\/p><\/td> 2,197,166<\/p><\/td> 542,695<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Jan-12<\/p><\/td> 1,141,584<\/p><\/td> 441,151<\/p><\/td> 998,017<\/p><\/td> 9,341,759<\/p><\/td> 2,426,531<\/p><\/td> 602,695<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Feb-12<\/p><\/td> 1,124,040<\/p><\/td> 441,151<\/p><\/td> 861,447<\/p><\/td> 9,064,454<\/p><\/td> 2,571,575<\/p><\/td> 602,695<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Aug-12<\/p><\/td> 1,378,876<\/p><\/td> 440,812<\/p><\/td> 851,915<\/p><\/td> 8,239,673<\/p><\/td> 2,896,107<\/p><\/td> 747,024<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Sep-12<\/p><\/td> 1,386,876<\/p><\/td> 440,812<\/p><\/td> 747,915<\/p><\/td> 7,885,321<\/p><\/td> 2,981,513<\/p><\/td> 747,024<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> Fortnightly collections<\/em><\/p> <\/p> Councils<\/em><\/p><\/td> Fortnightly mixed food and garden waste + Fortnightly Residual<\/em><\/p><\/td> Fortnightly residual and no separate food waste collection<\/em><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/thead> Jun-11<\/p><\/td> 36<\/p><\/td> 143<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Nov-11<\/p><\/td> 41<\/p><\/td> 142<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Jan-12<\/p><\/td> 41<\/p><\/td> 144<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Feb-12<\/p><\/td> 44<\/p><\/td> 149<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Aug-12<\/p><\/td> 47<\/p><\/td> 145<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Sep-12<\/p><\/td> 49<\/p><\/td> 147<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> Households<\/em><\/p><\/td> Fortnightly mixed food and garden waste + Fortnightly Residual<\/em><\/p><\/td> Fortnightly residual and no separate food waste collection<\/em><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/thead> Jun-11<\/p><\/td> 1,668,211<\/p><\/td> 5,879,808<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Nov-11<\/p><\/td> 1,838,632<\/p><\/td> 6,014,336<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Jan-12<\/p><\/td> 1,860,532<\/p><\/td> 6,032,245<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Feb-12<\/p><\/td> 2,034,102<\/p><\/td> 6,145,050<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Aug-12<\/p><\/td> 2,170,143<\/p><\/td> 6,173,402<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Sep-12<\/p><\/td> 2,319,143<\/p><\/td> 6,389,348<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> Note: Some councils may have a combination of the categories in the table below and have been counted under each one that they provide.<\/p> This shows that 14 million households in England have some form of weekly collection of smelly rubbish. Had the Government not taken the actions it had, weekly collections would have disappeared in England by 2015. This simple assertion can be illustrated by the extinction of weekly collections in most of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, which have devolved Administrations and policies of supporting fortnightly bin collections. Indeed, in Wales, the Labour-led Welsh Government now has a policy of supporting monthly bin collections (Welsh Government, Municipal Sector Plan Part 1<\/em>, March 2011 and Welsh Government, Cabinet decision, Minister for Environment and Sustainable Development, Additional Funding for Zero Waste Gurnos<\/em>, February 2012).<\/p> We have stopped the rot, but there is more to do to support weekly bin collections. Many town hall jobsworths, over-zealous NGOs and vested interests in the waste industry remain blindly obsessed with restricting bin collections as a perverse policy goal in itself, and this is reflected in the figures in the table above. Indeed, even Keep Britain Tidy \u2013 which one would think would want regular rubbish collections to keep the streets clean \u2013 has been taken over by a NGO (Waste Watch) which campaigns for fortnightly bin collections. Bin collections are not viewed as a public service \u2013 but as a policy tool to deliver other arbitrary policy goals.<\/p> More to do<\/em><\/p> One option which should be considered is a minimum service standard \u2013 for example, the Household Waste Recycling Act 2003 already lays down minimum service requirements for recycling, and indeed, the Public Health Act 1875 introduced a duty on local authorities to collect rubbish; this duty was enhanced by the Public Health Act 1936 obliging them to collect household waste weekly which existed until 1974.<\/p> Moving forward, we are open to representations on how best to support frequent and comprehensive rubbish and recycling service; stand up for taxpayers' interests from arbitrary state charges and taxes; and protect the local environment, public health and local amenity from the nuisance of stinking rubbish.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}

The programme is helping deliver £15 billion of private investment in new affordable housing over the current spending review, alongside £4.5 billion of public investment. Social rent and affordable rent go hand in hand; both help provide accommodation for those on low incomes.<\/p> As the National Audit Office has observed: \u201cthe Department selected the best delivery model open to it for the funds it had available\u201d and \u201cthe Department has so far achieved its policy objective to maximise the number of homes delivered within the available grant funding\u201d (National Audit Office, \u201cFinancial viability of the social housing sector: introducing the Affordable Homes Programme\u201d, 4 July 2012, HC465,<\/em> pp.6-7).<\/p> I note in his recent Fabian Society pamphlet, the rt. hon. Member has complained that affordable rent would result in rents of 80 per cent of market rents in London. Whilst it varies by borough, as the table shows, for example, affordable rent levels are 38 per cent of average local market rents in Camden, 48 per cent in Islington, 54 per cent in Southwark and 35 per cent in Westminster, reflecting local circumstances.<\/p> I also observe that the housing policy announced at the Labour Party Conference in October 2012 also endorsed the use of affordable rents to build new homes; albeit this point is frequently lost on many Labour hon. Members who proceed to attack the basic principle of affordable rent in allowing more new affordable homes to be built using taxpayer capital subsidy.<\/p> <\/p>"}
