answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2016 answer text <p>Current government guidance Exclusion from Maintained Schools, Academies and Pupil Referral Units (2012) advises school leaders that: “A pupil can transfer to another school as part of a ‘managed move’ where this occurs with the consent of the parties involved, including the parents” (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-exclusion" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-exclusion</a>). The government does not provide further guidance on how managed moves should operate.</p><p>There are two sets of guidance which relate to children and young people with special educational needs moving between schools. The first, which covers children and young people with statements of special educational needs, is the Special Educational Needs (SEN) Code of Practice (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/special-educational-needs-sen-code-of-practice" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/special-educational-needs-sen-code-of-practice</a>). This guidance is due to expire in 2018 as statements are phased out and education, health and care plans are gradually introduced. The guidance which covers children and young people with education, health and care plans is the Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice: 0-25 years, which was introduced in 2014 (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-code-of-practice-0-to-25" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-code-of-practice-0-to-25</a>). For these groups, there are specific statutory processes that must be followed by local authorities, including formal consultation with parents and with any new proposed school.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 18/07/2016 13:00:57 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what progress has been made in reducing GP waiting times.
tabling member constituency	South Antrim
tabling member printed	Danny Kinahan
uin	42256
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2016 answer text <p>There is no national standard for waiting to see a general practitioner (GP) and data on waiting times is not collected centrally. To implement the Government’s commitment to transform GP access however, £175 million has been invested in the Prime Minister’s GP Access Fund to test improved and innovative access to GP services. Across the two waves of the Access Fund, there are 57 schemes covering over 2,500 practices and 18 million patients – a third of the population – have benefited from improved access and transformational change at local level. This includes more appointments being made available, especially at times more convenient for patients, such as weekday evenings and weekends. It also includes different approaches like telephone consultations and better use of the wider primary care workforce (such as Advanced Nurse Practitioners, pharmacists, the voluntary sector, physiotherapists and paramedics) to deliver improved access to patients. These approaches have helped release local GP capacity and more appropriately matched the needs of patients with the most appropriate professional to care for them. In addition to Access Fund sites, other clinical commissioning groups may offer local initiatives for improving access to GPs.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 13/07/2016 16:58:41 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
