The following table shows programme budgeting expenditure for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) in cash and real terms. It should be noted that:<\/p>

<\/p>

- Children and young people with mental health problems are provided with treatment by a wide range of services and organisations and in a variety of settings. The figures below show what is spent on CAMHS but are not representative of all spending on treating mental health problems in children and young people.<\/p>

<\/p>

- Programme budgeting data does not include expenditure by local authorities, schools, children\u2019s services or expenditure on primary care appointments.<\/p>

<\/p>

- Some primary care trusts (PCTs) may not have had sufficient information to allocate all expenditure on services such as continuing healthcare to specific programmes.<\/p>

<\/p>

Notes<\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

1. Programme budgeting returns are based on a subset of PCT accounts data and represent a subset of overall NHS expenditure data.<\/p>

<\/p>

2. Calculating programme budgeting data is complex and not all healthcare activity or services can be classified directly to a programme budgeting category or care setting. When it is not possible to reasonably estimate a programme budgeting category, expenditure is classified as \u2018Other\u2019. Expenditure on General Medical Services and Personal Medical Services cannot be reasonably estimated at disease specific level, and is separately identified as a subcategory of \u2018Other\u2019 expenditure.<\/p>

<\/p>

3. The allocation of expenditure to programme budgeting subcategories is not always straightforward, and subcategory level data should therefore be used with caution.<\/p>

<\/p>

4. In order to improve data quality, continual refinements have been made to the programme budgeting data calculation methodology since the first collection in 2003-04. The underlying data which support programme budgeting data are also subject to yearly changes. Programme budgeting data cannot be used to analyse changes in investment in specific service areas between years. Users of the data should note that significant changes to the data calculation methodology were introduced in 2010-11.<\/p>

<\/p>

5. Figures for years 2003-04 to 2009-10 are calculated using provider costs as a basis. Figures for 2010-11 to 2012-13 are calculated using price paid for specific activities and services purchased from healthcare providers. PCTs follow standard guidance, procedures and mappings when calculating programme budgeting data.<\/p>

<\/p>

6. PCT figures used to calculate 2010-11 data differ from those previously published in the 2010-11 programme budgeting benchmarking spreadsheet. This is due to the correction of errors identified for five PCTs for this year.<\/p>

<\/p>

7. Aggregate PCT data supersede previously published England level programme budgeting data. England level data incorporated estimates of expenditure on healthcare conditions for the Department of Health, Strategic Health Authorities and Special Health Authorities. England level data is no longer published this data as aggregate PCT figures provide a more accurate and meaningful representation of the breakdown of NHS expenditure by healthcare condition.<\/p>

<\/p>

8. For 2004-05 onwards, figures are based on PCT spend on own population. This is calculated by adjusting net expenditure to add back expenditure funded from sources outside the NHS and to deduct expenditure on other PCT populations incurred through lead commissioning arrangements.<\/p>

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the application of the full potential of digital technology to construction and the built environment. Over the last year government and industry have been working together to develop a strategy to both define Level 3 BIM \u2013 the next phase of the technology \u2013 and to identify the key steps we will need to take to achieve the ambitions set out in the strategy. The strategy is in the final stages of completion and we hope to publish it in the new year.<\/p>

Companies are not required by law to publish data on their health and safety performance, and consequently the Health and Safety Executive does not offer generic guidance on this.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

However, for high hazard businesses operating under the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 1999, the competent authority, comprising HSE and the relevant environmental regulators, has recently (October 2014) published a Performance and Recognition Framework which describes how it takes account of business performance in planning its interventions. The Framework encourages the adoption by major hazard operators of industry-wide Process Safety Leadership Principles, which advocate the use of performance indicators, publication of performance information and sharing of good practice across sectors.<\/p>

The Department is aware that the practice of suppliers having to pay to join or remain on a supplier list is an issue in some sectors. As a result, the Government has already taken action to prohibit this practice in certain sectors.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We are currently consulting to understand the prevalence and impact of this practice economy wide. The consultation will strengthen the evidence we have on supplier lists, and will allow us to understand the necessary scope, and implications of further changes. This will ensure that any action is appropriately targeted and achieves real change on the ground.<\/p>

The lead times for connecting new housing developments will vary according to their location, the services being provided and the engineering difficulties that the company faces. I am aware that there have been delays in connecting some new developments and that Openreach has been recruiting additional staff to help address this problem. The Government recently published its Utilities Guide setting out performance standards for new utility connections. The guide includes for the first time performance standards for telecoms and broadband connections to new builds. This will allow the performance of communications infrastructure providers to be monitored.
