The most recent figures, for the 2020/21 academic year, are published here: <a href="https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/pupil-absence-in-schools-in-england" target="_blank">https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/pupil-absence-in-schools-in-england</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The publication includes figures for pupils whose type of SEN is visual impairment.

answer text <p>Under the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS), the Government supports council spending of around £1 billion a year to offer free bus travel to those who have reached State Pension Age and those with eligible disabilities. Concessionary travel legislation gives local authorities the flexibility to offer further local travel concessions such as free or discounted travel to young people. Bus operators can also offer discounted travel for young people. In 2020/21 operators in 80% of the travel concession authority areas in England, outside London, offered some form of discounted travel for young people.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has provided nearly £2 billion in recovery funding to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic on bus services. Operators who received emergency funding were required to freeze their fares. The initial phase of recovery funding also required operators not to increase fares by more than inflation and so they were kept flat in real terms. Through the Bus Service Operators Grant we spend over £200 million every year to help keep fares down and maintain an extensive network.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also investing over £1 billion for bus transformation deals to deliver London-style fares, infrastructure and service improvements around the country.</p><p> </p>

We are working with NHS England, Health Education England and the profession to increase the general practice workforce in England. There were an additional 1,462 FTE doctors in general practice in March 2022 compared to March 2019. Since 2019, a further 18,000 staff have been recruited into Primary Care Networks and practices in a range of roles, such as clinical pharmacists.</p><p>In 2020/21, we invested £450 million to upgrade accident and emergency facilities in over 120 trusts, to increase capacity through expanding waiting areas and the number of treatment cubicles to reduce overcrowding and maintain infection prevention and control measures. The Spending Review 2021 provides a further £23.3 billion for the NHS from April 2022 to March 2025 to manage the impact of COVID-19, while addressing waiting lists in elective care.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
