I refer my Noble Lord to the answer as given for HL4840<\/strong><\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

As you will be aware, the Balance of Competences Review concluded in December. It was the most comprehensive analysis of the UK\u2019s relationship with the EU ever undertaken. The review involved a large number of Departments across Whitehall to produce 32 reports. The Review was based on the evidence and views received through widespread consultation with interested parties from across society. Across the whole review, departments received close to 2,300 evidence submissions. Departments held over 250 events, attended by around 2,100 stakeholders.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

It was important that what is an unprecedented examination of EU membership was done with appropriate time and care. But the government is also very conscious of the need to ensure value for money in everything it does.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

(1) Staff time<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

Between 2012-2013, the Balance of Competences Review Team in the Department was staffed by the equivalent of one Grade 7 (salary range £47, 545 - £55,882), and one intern (salary range £23,869 \u2013 £27, 281) dedicating 100% of their time to the review to project manage 7 BIS led reports and 1 joint report. Between 2013 \u2013 2014 this was reduced to one Grade 7. Between 2012 \u2013 2014 one Deputy Director (salary range £62,000 - £117,800) dedicated 20% of their time as the senior reporting officer for the review. All other work on the review was allocated, according to need, to existing staff within the Department. Therefore, providing a full breakdown of staff time and costs would exceed the disproportionate cost threshold.<\/strong><\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

(2) Printing costs<\/strong><\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Printing and publication for the 8 Departmental reports, was coordinated centrally but paid for by the Department, with the exception of the Single Market Report which was printed in-house. Printing and publication costs for all 8 reports totalled £32,821.94. The costs for all 32 reports was £133, 053. This figure was a partial figure, covering the printing of some, but not all, reports across the whole review. <\/strong><\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

(3) Running of Engagement events<\/strong><\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Each policy team in the Department held a wide range of engagement events over the 2 years; the department did not incur any costs for the running of these events. The facilities for hosting these events were either provided by other Government Departments or by business partners or were held on department premises at no extra cost to the department. <\/strong><\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

(4) Witness <\/strong><\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

From centrally held figures, we understand that across the whole of the Balance of Competences Review witness expenses amounted to approximately £2,255.00.<\/strong><\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

(5) Publicity<\/strong><\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department did not incur any publicity costs as we published the reports and the call for evidence via email, social media and the Government website.<\/strong><\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

(6) All other associated costs<\/strong><\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Between 2012 \u2013 2014 the Department commissioned research and analysis to form part of the literature review to provide the reports with legal analysis to ensure the reports were neither too analytical or too speculative and political, but instead adhere to the agreed treaties. The cost for all 8 reports was £108, 738.28. <\/strong><\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>


Department officials incurred some additional associated costs due to travel to meetings and stakeholder events in the UK. Some officials also incurred costs related to events in Brussels. We estimate that the additional travel costs incurred amounted to less than £300.<\/strong><\/ins><\/p>

There is no mechanism in place to alert Ministers routinely to individual cases when a local authority does not issue a final statement of special educational needs for a child within the statutory 26 week timescale.<\/p>

A complaint can be made to the Secretary of State for Education under section 497 of the Education Act 1996 if it is believed that a local authority has failed to carry out a statutory duty. If, following investigation, the Secretary of State is satisfied that the local authority has failed to carry out their duty, she may make an order giving directions to enforce the duty as appear to her to be expedient.<\/p>

Data collected annually from all local authorities on the numbers of final statements issued for children with special educational needs within the statutory timescale of 26 weeks and published each year gives a national picture of local authority performance in this area.nal picture of local authority performance in this area.<\/del><\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1605", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Edward Timpson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Crewe and Nantwich"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Edward Timpson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-02-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/178120/answer/previousversion/44003", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1605", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Edward Timpson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Crewe and Nantwich"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Edward Timpson"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-02-11T17:10:47.45Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2015-02-11T17:22:01.22Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-02-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Special Educational Needs"} , "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, pursuant to the Answer of 22 January 2015 to Question 220889, what mechanism is in place to alert Ministers when local authorities do not issue a final statement of special educational needs within the statutory 26 week time limit.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/298", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve McCabe"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Selly Oak"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Steve McCabe"} ], "uin" : "223615"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/178160", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/178160/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Note: Age data for Exceptional Case Funding was collected from October 2013 onwards. The latest available published data is to September 2014. The number of successful applications in this instance also corresponds to the number of applicants, i.e. unique individuals granted legal aid.<\/p>

<\/p>

These numbers assume that the date of birth recorded corresponds to the age of the applicant benefiting from the legal aid. In inquest cases this should be the date of birth of the applicant, not the deceased.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1496", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Shailesh Vara"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North West Cambridgeshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Shailesh Vara"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-02-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/177574/answer/previousversion/43713", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1496", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Shailesh Vara"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North West Cambridgeshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Shailesh Vara"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-02-10T12:42:34.71Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2015-02-10T14:07:40.917Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-02-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Legal Aid Scheme"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many applications from people aged (a) under 18 and (b) 18 to 24 to the Exceptional Case Funding scheme have been successful.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1516", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andy Slaughter"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hammersmith"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Andy Slaughter"} ], "uin" : "223099"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/177123", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Culture Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/177123/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government wants everyone to have the opportunity to experience arts and culture wherever they live. By 2015/16, Arts Council will have shifted the balance of funding to the number of national organisations they support so that over half will be located outside of London. This is a move in the right direction but as the Arts Council acknowledged at the announcement of their portfolio there is still more to do and further to go. It will take time for this to happen and the Government will continue to discuss this with the Arts Council and monitor this.<\/p>

The Government has also supported the growth of arts and culture outside of London and the South East by a number of measures. These include the Theatre Tax Relief which encourages greater touring by theatre companies so that the whole country can share and see different productions from different regions. The Government announced at the Autumn Statement 2014 that a<\/del> £1m will be provided to support a Great Exhibition in the North celebrating the great art, culture and design of the North<\/ins>across the museums of the North of England<\/del>, £78m of capital funding will be provided to create a new theatre and exhibition space in Manchester and £3m will be provided to support First World War art projects primarily in Northern cities. On Thursday, my right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that the Government will provide £1.5 million towards the refurbishment of the Ferens Gallery in Hull to help support Hull\u2019s aspiration to host the Turner prize as part of the UK City of Culture programme in 2017 and in December, he announced that the Museum of Science and Industry will receive a £3m grant for the building of a new temporary exhibition gallery.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1580", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wantage"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Edward Vaizey"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-02-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/177123/answer/previousversion/43365", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1580", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wantage"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Edward Vaizey"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-02-09T12:02:56.927Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2015-02-09T15:10:16.607Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-02-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Arts: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps he is taking to rebalance arts and culture funding between London and the South East and the rest of the country.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1446", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Chris Bryant"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Rhondda"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chris Bryant"} ], "uin" : "222970"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/177160", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/177160/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

NHS England is the accountable commissioner and budget holder for all specialised services as set out in The National Health Service Commissioning Board and Clinical Commissioning Groups (Responsibilities and Standing Rules) Regulations 2012, with the Manual for prescribed specialised services providing further detail.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England has achieved significant progress in developing a set of nationally consistent service standards and commissioning policies, which ensure equity of access to high quality services across the board. Those standards and policies will continue to apply for those specialised services which are to be collaboratively commissioned by NHS England and clinical commissioning groups.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England is currently in the process of agreeing the guidance on the collaborative commissioning arrangements which will be in place from 1 April 2015.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England has clarified that where there are collaboratively commissioned services, NHS England will retain the full financial risk for these services for 2015/16. NHS England has advised us that there will be further work conducted over the next year to advise on the range of specialised services for which NHS England should remain the accountable commissioner and budget holder for 2016/17 and future years.<\/p>
