Funding for children\u2019s services is made available through the local government finance settlement. Over the Spending Review period, councils will receive more than £200 billion for local services.<\/p>

The Church Commissioners provide financial and administrative support to cathedrals and dioceses. It is up to each self-governing church or cathedral to raise funds for development projects, and the National Church Institutions provide advice and support.<\/p>
The changing priorities and declining budget of the Heritage Lottery Fund is a matter of concern, as this is where much fundraising money comes from; officers at national level continue to work with the Heritage Lottery Fund on the specific issues churches face. The HLF is currently reviewing its strategic priorities and I would encourage all Hon. members to consider sending in a response, making the importance of churches as community assets clear.<\/p>
The Church of England has been in discussions with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and HM Treasury about the current underspend of the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme, realocating the underspend would enable the Church to deliver a number of the recommendations in the Taylor Review.<\/p>

The standards, proficiencies, and outcomes of nursing training are the responsibility of the United Kingdom regulator, the Nursing and Midwifery Council, which is an independent statutory body.<\/p>

All nurses undertake mental health placements as part of pre-registration training and nurses in emergency departments receive additional mental health training. Staff also have access to Mental Capacity Act training as part of safeguarding arrangements.<\/p>

We do not hold all of the information requested centrally.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England has provided the attached information for the period between September 2016 and June 2017, which includes a monthly status of reported serious incidents with the following investigative status: planned, underway, completed, awaiting clearance or not yet allocated for investigation \u2018blank\u2019.<\/p>
<\/p>
The following points should be noted:<\/p>
<\/p>
- This information has been collected since August 2016, when NHS England put in place a national system for sub-regional and regional teams to escalate serious incidents via a Serious Incident Desk;<\/p>
- NHS England does not hold information at a national level as to why investigations have not yet been completed. Most investigations should be completed within six months of being commissioned, however some may take longer due to the complexity of the incident; and<\/p>
- NHS England does not hold information on serious investigations only led by clinical commissioning groups or trusts. The latter has not been included within this response.<\/p>

A three year average (2015/16, 2014/15 and 2013/14) is used to support the small sample size at a regional level. The number in receipt of tax credits are not available at local authority or constituency level in this publication because the survey sample sizes are too small to support the production of robust estimates at this geography.<\/p> <\/p> In the FRS tax credit receipt is based on self-assessment and therefore may be subject to misreporting, and the FRS is known to undercount receipt of certain benefits. Therefore the numbers in the table have been produced by applying the proportion in each decile from HBAI to the overall number of families in receipt of child tax credit, working tax credit and both child tax credit and working tax credit, from administrative data.
