The Government has undertaken the biggest reform of alcohol duties for over 140 years and has introduced a new, simplified alcohol duty system based on the common-sense principle of taxing alcohol by strength. The Government is closely monitoring the impact of the reforms and will evaluate the impact of the new rates and structures three years after the changes took effect on 1 August 2023. This will allow time to understand the impacts on the alcohol market, and for HMRC to gather useful and accurate data with which to evaluate the effects of the reform.<\/p>"}

Where offenders are eligible for a fixed-term recall, their probation officer may decide that a fixed-term recall is the proportionate and necessary response to a breach of licence conditions. If not, they will be recalled to prison on a standard recall, which is the only type of recall available as a response for offenders ineligible for a fixed-term recall.

On 21 February 2015 The Prime Minister\u2019s Challenge on Dementia 2020 was published, building on the achievements of the Prime Minister\u2019s challenge on dementia 2012-2015. The Government is clear that dementia remains a priority and will implement the 2020 Challenge in full to make sure that dementia care, support, awareness and research are transformed by 2020.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
The 2020 Challenge raises the importance of social action solutions such as peer support and befriending services which can also provide practical and emotional support to people with dementia and carers, reduce isolation and prevent crisis. The impact of these interventions is being robustly tested so that evidence on the most effective interventions can be disseminated.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
During the Prime Minister\u2019s challenge on dementia 2012-2015 the Department of Health in partnership with Public Health England and the Alzheimer\u2019s Society made significant progress on the Dementia Friends and dementia friendly communities campaigns. We currently have over 1 million Dementia Friends, achieving our target of reaching 1 million Dementia Friends by March 2015. Alzheimer\u2019s Society are committed to delivering an additional 3 million Dementia Friends in England by 2020.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
92 communities across England have signed up to Alzheimer\u2019s Society\u2019s foundation-stage recognition process for dementia friendly communities.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department of Health has been working closely with the Housing Learning and Improvement network to develop a memorandum of understanding for the housing sector including the development of services specifically for people with dementia.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government launched the Care and Support Specialised Housing Fund (CASSH) in October 2012 which is due to run until April 2018 to support the development of specialised housing for older people (including those with dementia), adults with physical disabilities, learning disabilities or mental health needs. The Department of Health worked closely with Department for Communities and Local Government on the CASSH.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In May 2014, NHS England published its Commitment to carers. Amongst its commitments, NHS England confirmed it will support timely dementia diagnosis and the best available treatment for everyone who needs it, including support for their carers and highlighted that the revised Dementia Direct Enhanced Service includes an offer of a health check for carers and signposting for information and support.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
A variety of Government Departments play vital roles in supporting carers and this is coordinated through updated action plans underpinned by the National Carers Strategy. Departments continue to work together to explore innovative ways of improving support for cares. For example, the Department of Health, Government Equality Office and Department for Work and Pensions have jointly invested £1.6 million to fund pilots in nine local authority areas to explore ways in which people can be supported to combine work and care.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department of Health led on the introduction of the Care Act 2014, which gives local authorities legal duties to support carers in a number of ways. This includes individual rights for carers to get an assessment, plus a right to support to meet any needs assessed as eligible against the national minimum eligibility threshold. The Department of Health has provided £104 million of funding to local authorities for these rights in 2015/16.<\/p>
