answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2017 answer text <p>A meaningful regional breakdown of infrastructure investment is difficult due to the nature of many transport projects, which traverse multiple regions. The Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) publishes a forward-looking pipeline of planned projects, including transport programmes by region. However, this includes a number of projects that have not been allocated to regions, and, by value, around 60% have not been allocated to an individual region because they relate to schemes that cover multiple regions or programmes that will be spread across the whole country, such as HS2.

In addition to this it is not always possible to allocate spending precisely on a project that crosses many regions, for example HS2. This Department focuses on delivering outcomes for transport users, not on spending per head. An analysis of regional spend per head of resident population would not, for example, take into account the pressure that large numbers of commuters and visitors from outside of a region can add to a region’s transport networks. In addition, larger and more densely built-up areas tend to make greater use of mass public transport systems. For example, in 2015/16 there were 537 million rail journeys within the London area compared to 142 million in the North. Investment by the Department is made based on a fair and rigorous process that ensures that spending goes where it is most needed.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/10/2017 14:42:11 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

Currently, there is no consistent national data to identify the proportion of patients offered education and self-management within a month of being diagnosed.</p><p> </p><p>There has been significant progress in identifying the evidence base for new care models and optimal pathway solutions that offer better care and treatment for people diagnosed with arthritis. These include better access to first contact musculoskeletal physio practitioners and delivery of community based self-management rehabilitation programmes such as Escape Pain, StartBack or Pathway through Pain Programmes.</p><p> </p><p>The Five Year Forward View has made a specific commitment to do more to support people with long-term conditions and to help them manage their own health. Self-management increases the likelihood of better clinical outcomes, lower rates of hospitalisation and less need for emergency care.</p><p> </p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has published a best practice clinical guideline and corresponding Quality Standard for both rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis, both of which highlight the importance of self-management approaches and lifestyle advice in supporting patients to manage their condition.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2017 answer text <p>Attendance Allowance provides financial support to severely disabled people who require long-term care or supervision. Although some disabling conditions may appear to be long-term at their onset, this is not always so. The six-month qualifying period helps establish that the disability and the resulting care or supervision needs are of a long-term nature, and ensures the benefit goes to those for whom it is intended.</p><p> </p><p>When awarding a claim, the Decision Maker will look at whether, and for how long, the severely disabled person has required the necessary level of care or supervision before the date of claim, and consider whether some or all of the qualifying period has already been completed.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>For people who have a progressive disease and are not expected to live longer than another six months, there is no requirement to meet the 6 month qualifying period.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 26/10/2017 08:42:07 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
