The Government is committed to delivering the Challenge on Dementia 2020 to make England the world-leader in dementia care and support, research and awareness by 2020. The joint declaration on post-diagnostic dementia care and support is an unequivocal joint commitment between the Government, health, social care, and the third sector to improve care and support for people with dementia.<\/ins><\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

Local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are responsible for services and support for people with dementia. The Government and NHS England would expect CCGs to commission services that take into account relevant guidance, including National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines, and the Dementia Care Pathway, which sets out benchmarks to improve the delivery and quality of care and support.<\/ins><\/strong><\/p>

On 26 June 2018 it was announced that it is the department\u2019s intention to use public capital to build a new prison at the former HMP Wellingborough and launch a competition to appoint a framework of prison operators, from which we will select the operator for the new prison at Wellingborough and potentially further prisons following expiry of current private sector contracts. The Department also announced that it intends to build a second prison, at Glen Parva, funded through private finance. We intend to explore funding options, including private finance, for the remaining prison places.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Ministry of Justice will, in accordance with the Public Contract Regulations and relevant Government policies, take into account the past experience and performance, including the conclusions of any on-going investigations, of any company expressing an interest in bidding. We will also ensure through the tender process, that any company bidding has the capability and capacity to run the contracts effectively. It is intended that the contract for any prisons built using private finance will include the provision of facilities management.<\/p>

<\/p>

The private sector plays an important role in the provision of prison capacity (providing approximately 17% of total capacity as at the end of September) and will continue to do so in years to come. Due to the changeable operational and contractual environment associated with the provision of prison places by the private sector, it is not possible to identify the number of prison places that will be managed by the private sector estate in 2020 and 2022.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4137", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rory Stewart"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Penrith and The Border"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Rory Stewart"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-10-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "178343"} , {"_value" : "178349"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-10-16T16:24:50.393Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Prisons: Construction"} , "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, with reference to the oral evidence of the Minister of State for Justice to the Justice Committee on Prison Population 2022: planning for the future on 26 June 2018, Q94, HC 483, who will provide the maintenance services for the new privately financed prison announced by his Department.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4493", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Richard Burgon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leeds East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Richard Burgon"} ], "uin" : "178342"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/985725", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/985725/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We work closely with The Trussell Trust and welcome their feedback. It is worth noting that much of their analysis was carried out before the improvements we announced at Autumn Budget 2017, and which were introduced earlier this year. The comprehensive and wide-ranging package worth £1.5 billion to help people in their first assessment period included, the abolition of waiting days, the introduction of advances up to 100% of a claimant\u2019s indicative award (repayable over a period of up to 12 months), and a two week transitional payment for those previously claiming Housing Benefit.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Trussell Trust welcomed our changes in the Budget saying they would \u201cease the pressure on thousands of households on very low incomes\u201d and \u201cshows that Government is listening\u201d.<\/p>

The Department is not directly responsible for developing or reviewing clinical guidance for identification and management of diseases and disorders. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence was established by the Government to develop evidence based best practice for the National Health Service. Other organisations, such as the clinical Royal Colleges, and charitable organisations also convene expert groups to develop guidance for health professionals.<\/p>

A range of support exists to help general practitioners (GPs) identify and manage fibromyalgia in primary care. This includes an e-learning course developed by the Royal College of GPs and Arthritis Research UK on musculoskeletal care, including fibromyalgia, and a medical guide developed by the Fibromyalgia Association UK (FMUK) for health professionals.<\/p>

<\/p>

People with fibromyalgia can usually be managed through routine access to primary or second care provide via a GP or consultant. Treatment will depend on the severity of a patient\u2019s condition, but may include pain relieving medication; physiotherapy; dietary and exercise advice; counselling or cognitive behavioural therapy. For patients whose pain cannot be adequately controlled by routine access to NHS services, a referral may be made to a specialist pain service or specialist fibromyalgia clinic, such the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Bath, subject to their having met certain criteria.<\/p>

<\/p>

Information for the public can be found on the NHS website and is also available in a patient\u2019s information guide produced by FMUK. The medical guide, patient information booklet and NHS choice webpage on fibromyalgia can be found at the following links:<\/p>
