As from 1 April 2019, the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) maternity investigations programme is fully staffed and operational in every healthcare region in England.<\/p>
The HSIB is estimated to undertake 1,000 investigations in 2019. Work will be undertaken to forecast future estimates for the next three years based on the most recent datasets held by the HSIB.<\/p>
Since the start of the HSIB maternity investigations programme up until 12 April 2019, a total of 401 investigations have gone live and four investigations have been completed. From 1 April 2019 HSIB will be operating at full capacity and is continuously refining its methodology to improve the turn-around time for completing investigations. As a result, the number of investigations completed are expected to increase in 2019.<\/p>
The 60-day timeframe applies to the current NHS Serious Incident Framework. In line with the National Health Service Trust Development Authority (Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch) (Additional Investigatory Functions in respect of Maternity Cases) Directions 2018, HSIB is required to complete investigations within 6 months. <\/strong><\/p> The HSIB\u2019s investigations will replace hospital reviews of intrapartum stillbirths only for cases which fall within scope of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists\u2019 Each Baby Counts criteria. This criterion includes all term babies (at least 37 completed weeks of gestation) born following labour who have one of the following outcomes: intrapartum stillbirth or where the baby was thought to be alive at the start of labour but was born with no signs of life.<\/p> The HSIB was allocated £10 million in 2018/19 for the maternity investigations programme. A final budget for 2019/20 is to be finalised. Budgets for future years have not been determined.<\/p> The National Health Service Trust Development Authority (Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch) (Additional Investigatory Functions in respect of Maternity Cases) Directions 2018 states that \u201cIn carrying out the additional investigatory functions, the \u2018safe space principle\u2019 as described at paragraph 6(1) of HSIB Directions does not apply.\u201d<\/p>"}

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> <\/p> HM Treasury\u2019s distributional analysis, published alongside Budget 2018, shows the cumulative effect on household incomes of policies on welfare, tax, and public service spending measures. Because different measures often interact with each other, this cumulative assessment provides the best representation of the overall intended policy effect. This shows that since this Chancellor and Prime Minister took office, their decisions have benefited households throughout the income distribution, with the poorest households gaining the most as a percentage of net income.<\/p>"}
