The Department\u2019s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) recognises that chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is a debilitating condition and is speaking with the UK CFS/ME Research Collaborative and patient representatives about how best to support a joined up approach to high quality research into this complex disorder.<\/p>

<\/p>

The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including CFS/ME; it is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4008", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gosport"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Dinenage"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-09-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-09-12T11:49:21.807Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-09-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"} , "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, pursuant to the Answer of 4 June 2018 to Question 147821, on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, what plans he has and what recent steps he has taken to expand this funding in the future.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1400", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kevin Brennan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cardiff West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kevin Brennan"} ], "uin" : "170278"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/967829", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/967829/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The government acknowledge that unwanted marketing calls are a source of annoyance and inconvenience for consumers. For the most vulnerable, however, nuisance calls can cause extreme anxiety and distress. We have been clear that there is no place for such calls in society.<\/p>

To help reduce this problem, we legislated in the Financial Guidance and Claims Act 2018 to further restrict marketing calls from claims management services and pensions providers. We have also recently concluded a consultation on taking tougher action against directors whose companies are responsible for breaches of legislation in relation to nuisance calls and electronic messages. We are currently analysing the consultation responses and will publish a government response in due course.<\/p>

Low Value Provision (LVP) requires that all providers who wish to be considered for providing LVP training must be registered on a central database within \u2018Basware\u2019. When providers register on \u2018Basware\u2019, they state the training they can deliver and the locations in which they can deliver.<\/p>

The Government is committed to continuing to support informal carers, and to do so in a way that supports their own health and wellbeing, employment and other life chances.<\/p>

<\/p>

That is why, on 5 June, the Department published a cross-Government action plan of targeted work to support carers over the next two years. This is available at the following link:<\/p>

<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/carers-action-plan-2018-to-2020<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

There are 64 actions in the plan focused around five important themes:<\/p>

- Effective services and systems;<\/p>

- Employment and financial wellbeing;<\/p>

- Supporting young carers;<\/p>

- Recognition and support within the wider community and society; and<\/p>

- Building evidence and research to improve health and wellbeing outcomes.<\/p>

<\/p>

The forthcoming adult social care Green Paper will also include a focus on carers and how society supports them.<\/p>

<\/p>

On funding, social care continues to be a key priority for this Government. In addition to the £2 billion announced at Spring Budget 2017, we have announced a further £150 million for 2018/19, giving councils access to up to £9.4 billion more dedicated funding for adult social care in total over three years.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4008", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gosport"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Dinenage"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-07-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-07-25T10:27:56.89Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-07-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Carers"} , "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, what plans the Government has to increase support for unpaid carers.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1400", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kevin Brennan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cardiff West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kevin Brennan"} ], "uin" : "166466"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/944039", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/944039/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The number of pupils who entered GCSE (or equivalent) drama, split by ethnicity, can be found in the attached table.<\/p>

<\/p>

[1] Total number of entries include pupils who were absent, whose results are pending and results which are ungraded or unclassified.<\/p>

[2] Discounting has been applied where pupils have taken the same subject more than once and only one entry is counted in these circumstances. Prior to 2014, best entry discounting, where the pupil\u2019s best result is used was in place in performance tables. From 2014 onwards, first entry rules were introduced, where a pupil\u2019s first entry in that subject is used in performance tables. For more information on discounting and early entry, see: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/key-stage-4-qualifications-discount-codes-and-point-scores<\/a>.<\/p>

[3] All figures are based on final data so may have small differences from total entries figures published in the department\u2019s statistical release.<\/p>

[4] FSM eligibility is taken from the school census for that academic year.<\/p>

[5] Figures for 2011/12 are based on GCSE entries only and does not include equivalents. Caution should be used when comparing these figures to later years.<\/p>

[6] In 2013/14, two major reforms were implemented which affect the calculation of key stage 4 performance measures data: 1) Professor Alison Wolf\u2019s Review of Vocational Education recommendations which: restrict the qualifications counted; prevent any qualification from counting as larger than one GCSE; and cap the number of non-GCSEs included in performance measures at two per pupil, and 2) an early entry policy to only count a pupil\u2019s first attempt at a qualification, in subjects counted in the English Baccalaureate; this new rule is only implemented with regard to English Baccalaureate subjects this year and will be expanded to apply to all subjects in 2014/15.<\/p>

[7] From 2014/15, early entry policy, under which only a pupil\u2019s first attempt at a qualification is counted in performance measures, is extended to all subjects.<\/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"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/944039/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "165482_165484_Ethnicity_GCSE_Drama.xlsx"} , "title" : "165482_165484_Ethnicity_GCSE_Drama"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-07-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "165484"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-07-23T14:14:49.923Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-07-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Drama: GCSE"} , "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 many (a) students and (b) students eligible for free school meals studied GCSE drama in each year since 2012.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1400", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kevin Brennan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cardiff West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kevin Brennan"} ], "uin" : "165482"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/944040", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/944040/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Department has published the number of students entering A level drama, split by free school meal (FSM) eligibility and ethnicity, from 2011/12 \u2013 2016/17.[1] In 2015/16 figures only include students who were included in the \u2018best 3 A levels\u2019 measure. From 2016/17, figures cover exam results achieved in all years of 16-18 studies (up to three years) and inclusion in the 'best 3 A level' measure was no longer used in the methodology, resulting in more students being included and correspondingly higher rates of entry.<\/p>

The total number and percentage of students entering A level drama in each year is provided below, as well as the percentage of entrants into each subject who were eligible for FSM.2<\/sup> Figures split by ethnicity are provided in the attached file.[2]<\/p>

[1] For 2010/11 \u2013 2015/16 - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-level-attainment-by-pupil-characteristics<\/a>. For 2016/17 - https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/a-level-and-other-16-to-18-results-2016-to-2017-revised<\/a> (open the \u2018A level exam results and A level and vocational participation csv\u2019 and then the \u2018A level subjects by characteristics\u2019 file).<\/p>

[2] The methodology through which a student\u2019s FSM eligibility and ethnicity are identified was changed in 2016/17. Up to 2015/16 a student\u2019s FSM/ethnicity was taken from their census record three years prior to the academic year the figures are reported for. In 2016/17 a student\u2019s FSM/ethnicity is taken from the census record of their final year of key stage 4 study (normally, three years prior). Due to this change, 2016/17 figures can not be compared to earlier years. FSM eligibility and ethnicity in key stage 4 is taken from the census record for that academic year. Students who attended independent schools (that do not complete the census) will not have FSM or ethnicity data and are therefore classified as \u2018unknown\u2019.<\/p>

[3] Figures are based on final data, except for 2015/16 and 2016/17 which are based on amended data.<\/p>

[4] Students at the end of their 16-18 study. From 2011/12 \u2013 2016/17 only students included in the \u2018best 3 A levels\u2019 measure are included. From 2016/17, all students are included.<\/p>

[5] Where qualifications taken by a student are in the same subject area and similar in content, \u2018discounting\u2019 rules have been applied to avoid double counting qualifications.<\/p>

[6] The percentage of all A level students entering each subject from 2010/11 \u2013 2014/15 are based on students entered for A levels. From 2015/16 these figures are based on students entered for AS and A levels, resulting in a much bigger cohort. This artificially reduces the percentage in comparison to previous years and therefore comparisons between the percentages of 2015/16 and 2016/17 and earlier years can not be done.<\/p>

[7] Figures from 2012/13 to 2014/15 cover students at the end of advanced level study who were entered for at least one A level, applied single award A level, applied double award A level or combined A/AS level in the reporting year. Figures for earlier years cover students who were entered for at least one A level, applied single award A level, applied double award A level or combined A/AS level in the summer of the reporting year.<\/p>

[8] Figures for 2015/16 onwards cover students at the of advanced level study who were entered for at least one A/AS level, applied single A/AS level, applied double A/AS level or combined A/AS level during their 16-18 study. As a result there has been a large increase in the number of A level students since 2016 and therefore figures are not directly comparable to earlier years.<\/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"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/944040/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "165483_165486_A_Level_Drama_by_Ethnicity.xlsx"} , "title" : "165483_165486_A_Level_Drama_by_Ethnicity"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-07-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "165485"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-07-23T14:04:14.607Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-07-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Drama: GCE A-level"} , "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 many (a) students and (b) students eligible for free school meals studied A level drama in each year since 2012.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1400", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kevin Brennan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cardiff West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kevin Brennan"} ], "uin" : "165483"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?tablingMemberPrinted.=Kevin+Brennan&_page=1&max-answer.dateOfAnswer=2018-09-12", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 645, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
