The central cost of holding Cabinet in Aberdeen was £1,800. This is a considerable reduction from the cost of regional Cabinet meetings under the previous administration, which were reported through Parliamentary Questions to have cost between £50,000 and £100,000.<\/p>

As was the case under previous administrations, Departments and agencies may also have incurred costs in terms of travel, staff time and other support. The cost of police security is a matter for the relevant police force.<\/p>

The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 sets out the general powers available to the police, including in circumstances when an individual\u2019s identity needs to be established or when false identity information has been provided. Similarly, powers exist under Section 168 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 where the person is suspected of having committed an offence under Sections 28 and 29 of the same Act.

The Department has not made any such assessment.<\/p>

NHS England is committed to the development and implementation of a new information standard for accessible information and communication.<\/p>

<\/p>

ISB 1605 Accessible Information aims to establish a consistent, standardised framework and approach to the identification and recording of the information and communication needs of patients, service users, carers and parents, where they relate to a disability, impairment or sensory loss; establish \u2018flags\u2019, alerts, prompts and other mechanisms to ensure that such needs are highly visible to appropriate staff; and set out clear expectations as to how such needs should be met, supported or addressed.<\/p>

<\/p>

Final approval of the standard is scheduled for Spring 2016. Following the announcement, organisations are currently anticipated to have 12 months to achieve full compliance.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2000", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Earl Howe"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Earl Howe"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-07-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-07-29T13:14:28.6218141Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Health Services: Disability"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what assessment they have made of current measures and the compliance of the National Health Service in ensuring that all official paperwork and all types of communication are adapted appropriately for people with sensory disabilities.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2024", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Hunt of Kings Heath"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Hunt of Kings Heath"} ], "uin" : "HL1366"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79468", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79468/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

This Government wants England to lead the world in tackling cancer and ensure the National Health Service is able to meet the needs of all cancer patients. That is why our 2011 Cancer Outcomes Strategy set the ambition to save a further 5,000 lives a year from cancer by 2014-15. The Strategy is backed with more than £750 million over the four year Spending Review period (2011-12 to 2014-15).<\/p>

The content and standard of medical training is the responsibility of the General Medical Council (GMC), which is the competent authority for medical training in the United Kingdom. Its role is that of custodian of quality standards in medical education and practice. The GMC is an independent professional body. It has the general function of promoting high standards of medical education and co-ordinating all stages of medical education to ensure that students and newly qualified doctors are equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitudes essential for professional practice.<\/p>
