The Department\u2019s SR15 settlement includes over £300 million for cycling over the life of this Parliament. There is no specific budget within this funding denoted \u2018cycle safety\u2019 since a variety of cycling schemes do and will help in various ways to improve cycle safety. Several projects can however be noted:<\/p>

<\/p>

- We are providing £50m over the next four years to support Bikeability cycle training in schools; £11m was provided in 2015/16. This funding will help to increase children's road awareness, encourage active travel and improve future motorists\u2019 empathy for more vulnerable road users. We expect to train a further 1 million children with the new funding settlement.<\/p>

<\/p>

- We are spending £114m from 2015 onwards on the Cycling Ambition Cities programme which will accelerate their development of local cycling networks, including increased protection for cyclists at junctions.<\/p>

<\/p>

- In addition, through the Road Investment Strategy, Highways England will spend £100m through to 2020/21 to make around 200 locations on our major road network more cycle-friendly.<\/p>

<\/p>

Much more widely, however, other Government funding streams will also contribute to projects which could deliver improved cycle safety. Through the Local Growth Fund, the Department estimates that an investment of at least £270m is planned by local enterprise partnerships for cycling infrastructure. Local authorities could also use sums from the £1.3bn Integrated Transport Block to 2019/20 for cycle safety schemes.<\/p>

<\/p>

It should also be noted that spending on road maintenance can benefit not just motorists but can also lead to safer conditions for cyclists, and a record £6.1billion is allocated to local highway authorities between 2015 and 2021 for road maintenance.<\/p>

<\/p>

Regarding cycleway maintenance, from 2018/19 the plan is to change the formula used to allocate local highways maintenance capital funding so that it also takes into account footways and cycleways as well as the roads, bridges and street lighting, which it is currently based on. Once implemented, around 9% of the funding for local highways maintenance will be based on footway and cycleway lengths.<\/p>

In March 2015 the Greater Manchester Combined Authority contracted with the Department for a £300 million recyclable financial investment to accelerate delivery of up to 15,000 homes over 10 years. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority are aware that, in light of this contract, it will not be possible for bids from the Manchester area to be accepted for other central government housing investment programmes.<\/del><\/p>


A £3 billion housing financial transaction programme is available over the over the next five years to support small builders and get infrastructure on large sites, this is in addition to the £300 million Manchester Housing Investment Fund. The Spending Review made £2.3 billion available to support the preparation of up to 60,000 Starter Homes by 2020. This includes £1.2 billion to prepare more brownfield land for starter homes. Further details about the use of this funding will be announced shortly. Bids from Greater Manchester will be eligible to apply for these funds in the normal way.<\/ins><\/p>

Parents have the right to complain to an admission authority regarding its decision to refuse admission of a child. The admission authority must establish an independent appeals panel to hear the complaint. On behalf of the Secretary of State, the Education Funding Agency (EFA) will investigate complaints about the appeals process operated by independent appeal panels for academies and free schools.<\/p>

The table below provides information on admission appeals complaints assessed as being in scope for investigation by EFA since April 2012, when it was established. EFA has no record of admission appeal complaints in the last four financial years from any Civil Society Organisations.<\/p>

The Local Government Ombudsman (LGO) handles the appeals process operated in respect of maintained schools. The Department does not hold information on the number of admission appeals complaints heard by the LGO. The LGO should hold this information.<\/p>

The information requested is not held by the Department. The nine health and care professional regulatory bodies<\/a> within the United Kingdom are responsible for operational matters concerning the discharge of their statutory duties including fitness-to-practise (FtP) investigations against their registrants. Relevant information provided by the General Medical Council (GMC), Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and General Dental Council (GDC) is included below.<\/p>

<\/p>

The GMC reports that four European Economic Area (EEA) doctors and no non-EEA doctors have appeared at a FtP tribunal and been suspended<\/del> due wholly or partly to lack of English language skills, since its legislation changed in June 2014 to introduce inadequate English language skills as a grounds for finding a doctor\u2019s fitness to practise is impaired. Of the four, two were suspended and two had conditions imposed on their registration. Conditions restrict a doctor\u2019s practice or require them to take remedial action. In these cases, the purpose of conditions is to help protect patients while allowing the doctor to remedy any deficiencies in their practice or knowledge of English. <\/ins>In addition, since the GMC was given new powers in relation to the language skills of doctors, it has dealt with 3,289 registration applications from EEA doctors. 1,970 of them were able to demonstrate that they met the English language requirements as part of their application and were granted registration with a licence to practise. 1,319 doctors were registered but have not been granted a licence to practise either because they did not provide any evidence of their English language skills or the evidence they provided was insufficient. Doctors cannot practise in the UK without a licence to practise.<\/p>

<\/p>

The NMC reports that until legislative change took effect in January 2016, it did not record poor English language skills as a case type within FtP. Previously all cases were recorded under an umbrella category of \u2018Lack of competence \u2013 communication issues\u2019. This category covered a range of communication topics including failure to delegate appropriately. Since the new language control power was introduced in 2016 the NMC has been coding English language skills as a separate code.<\/p>

<\/p>

The GDC reports that following an update to its Standards in 2013, it takes the requirement to be sufficiently fluent in written and spoken English into account when assessing FtP cases. Since this change there have been no suspensions and one EEA Dentist has been struck-off the GDC register where the category of \u2018not fluent in English\u2019 was recorded as a consideration. The GDC notes that as a result of recent legislative change, it is taking forward associated changes to registration processes and FtP rules, which will result in further language control requirements being introduced by the end of summer.<\/p>
