There is no evidence that patients looking to access National Health Service sight tests in primary care are facing delays. There were 13.2 million NHS sight tests carried out in 2018/19, an increase of 1.5% on the previous year.<\/p>
The current NHS access standard for referral to elective treatment requires that patients will be seen within a maximum waiting time of 18 weeks. Clinical priority is the main determinant of when patients should be treated followed by the chronological order of when they were added to the list.<\/p>
There were 2 million first outpatients ophthalmology appointments, within NHS trusts in England or commissioned in England from the independent sector, during 2018/19 and of those, the average waiting time (mean), as reported by NHS Digital Hospital Episodes Statistics, was 51 days.<\/p>

We recognise that the impact of the covid-19 outbreak will pose a significant challenge to institutional management, efficiency and financial planning.<\/p>
The Department for Education is working closely with the Office for Students, which will monitor the impact of covid-19, among other factors, on the financial health of registered English higher education (HE) providers. We are also working with Universities UK, which has established a coordination group of HE institutions and other sector bodies to prepare for the effects of an outbreak.<\/p>"}

In 2018 NHS England published two new service specifications for adult gender identity services, formed through a process of extensive stakeholder engagement and public consultation. NHS England and NHS Improvement have now completed several procurements to identify which organisations are best placed for future delivery of these services.<\/p>
In addition, NHS England will pilot new gender dysphoria services for adults in 2020/21 in a number of localities across England, following which national rollout will be considered. The first of the new services will be established in London at a National Health Service HIV and sexual health clinic in Soho, the planned \u2018go live\u2019 date is April 2020.<\/p>
These new services will increase the number of patients that are able to access specialised services and reduce waiting times.<\/p>

The Government believes that music is an important subject and that all pupils should receive a high-quality music education. The subject is compulsory in the national curriculum up to age 14.<\/p>
To support schools to deliver high quality music education for all their pupils, the Government has provided funding of over £300 million for music education hubs across England between 2016 and 2020, including £76 million in 2019-20, and further funding to support hubs with the additional costs under the teachers\u2019 pension scheme. This is a significant increase over the £58 million we gave hubs in 2014.<\/p>
The Government recently announced a further year\u2019s funding for music hubs, to help thousands more children learn to play musical instruments, as well as continued support for a range of smaller music and arts programmes, totalling £85 million. We will also be offering an \u2018arts premium\u2019 of £90 million each year for secondary schools in England from 2021 to fund enriching activities for all pupils.<\/p>
The North West region is served by ten individual music education hubs, which in the coming year will receive between them over £9.6 million in funding.<\/p>
Merseyside is served by the Merseyside Music Education Hub Alliance, a conglomerate of music hubs based in Warrington and Halton, Sefton and Knowsley, Liverpool and St Helens. In the 2020-21, we will be providing these hubs with over £2 million of funding to continue to support the region\u2019s schools to deliver high-quality music education. In 2016-17, the last year data for which data is available, these hubs provided individual lessons to over 2,400 pupils, small group lessons for over 5,800 pupils and whole class ensemble teaching to over 26,000 pupils. The hubs also supported or delivered 125 ensembles.<\/p>
Wirral is served by the Musical Routes Music Education Hub. In 2020-21, the Government will be providing the hub with over £470,000 of funding. In 2016-17, the hub provided individual lessons to 850 pupils, small group lessons for over 1,200 pupils and whole class ensemble teaching to over 6,000 pupils. The hub also supported or delivered 25 ensembles.<\/p>
The Government trusts that with the announced funding, the music education hubs in the North West will be able to continue their important work in supporting the schools in the region to deliver a high-quality music education for all their pupils.<\/p>"}
