All upper tier local authorities have access to record level (including sex, age, occupation and postcode) test and case data. Directors of Public Health are also receiving fully identifiable test, case and contact tracing data where the case data includes, address, postcode, sex, age, NHS Number, occupation, test date, and additional data describing progress through the NHS Test and Trace contact tracing process. Public Health England (PHE) provides access to this data via a secure platform to Directors of Public Health to support them to carry out their outbreak management responsibilities. This data is currently updated on a daily basis.<\/p>
PHE began providing record level positive test data, including postcodes, to local authorities (including Directors of Public Health) on 24 June.<\/p>

The Code of Practice aims to help commercial landlords and tenants to come to balanced agreements regarding the payment of rent at a time when many tenants have been unable to trade as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting restrictions. It was developed in partnership with industry bodies representing both landlords and tenants sectors and has been widely welcomed as a means of encouraging a constructive dialogue.<\/p>
The Government has always monitored the financial health of the commercial property sector, and continues to do so closely. The steering group for the Code of Practice have agreed to survey their members to understand its impact, and we will also engage with other organisations that are supporting the code to do the same. This, and regular discussion with representatives of both landlords, tenants and the wider commercial property industry, will inform any future interventions that might be necessary and appropriate to support this essential element of the nation\u2019s economy.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4655", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Simon Clarke"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2020-07-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2020-07-08T12:11:21.67Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2020-07-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Business Premises: Landlords"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 1 July 2020 to Question 64131 on business premises: landlords and with reference to the 19 June 2020 voluntary code of practice for commercial property relationships, if he will set out the criteria by which he will monitor the effect of the code and decide whether further\u202fmandatory provisions are necessary.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3930", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Caroline Lucas"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Brighton, Pavilion"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Caroline Lucas"} ], "uin" : "67608"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1218815", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1218815/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Government is extremely grateful to all student nurses who have supported the COVID-19 response, by opting into a paid placement for their time in practice at the frontline during the pandemic. Health Education England (HEE) has worked alongside the Council of Deans of Health, NHS Employers and NHS trade unions to provide clarity for students undertaking paid placements.<\/p>
Any student, who is in the last six months of their programme and on a paid placement, will be fully paid until the end of their contract, unless otherwise agreed. By the end of July most final year students can qualify as registered nurses and start full time work, increasing their pay. For students in year two or the first part of their final year, employers and universities will work with them to aim to bring paid placements to a close by the 31 August. This will be part of a voluntary learning agreement between student, placement provider and university. HEE has published an agreed Frequently Asked Questions document.<\/p>

The Government announced the Discretionary Grant Fund on 1st<\/sup> May and has allocated up to an additional £617 million to Local Authorities for this scheme. It has taken some time for Local Authorities to Launch their discretionary schemes. This is because unlike the Small Business Grant Fund, and the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant Fund, the eligibility criteria for the DGF are not tied to the business rates system, so Local Authorities have had to design new applications processes and set up new systems for their discretionary schemes. As of 22nd<\/sup> June, the vast majority have launched their discretionary schemes, and many have started to make payments.<\/p> <\/p> Local Authorities have significant discretion when awarding discretionary grants. The only mandatory criteria for the DGF is that the recipient must have been trading as of 11th<\/sup> March and must not have received any other cash grants funded out by central Government (with the exception of the SEISS). The Government has also encouraged Local Authorities to use their discretionary schemes to prioritise those groups of businesses which missed out of the SBGF and the RHLGF due to the way they interact with the business rates system. These groups of businesses are:<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> However, Local Authorities may choose to focus on the priority group(s) most relevant to their local area and may choose to pay grants to businesses outside of these groups, according to local economic need.<\/p> <\/p> The Government continues to keep the economic situation under review and consider what support businesses and other organisations needs.<\/p> <\/p>"}
