answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2023 answer text <p>The department is providing a range of support to ensure all childcare placements are able to support children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in early years.</p><p>The SEND and Alternative Provision (AP) Improvement Plan sets out how an effective single national SEND and AP system will be delivered. This includes new national standards for identifying and meeting SEND. These new standards aim to make consistent the provision that should be made available across the country for every child and young person with SEND. There will also be new local SEND and AP partnerships, strengthened accountability and dashboards, and reforms to funding.</p><p>High needs funding will be rising to £10.1 billion in 2023/24, which is an increase of over 50% from the 2019/20 allocations. High needs funding is for supporting children and young people with complex SEND, whose support costs more than settings can meet from their core funding, or who are in specialist provision. The extra funding will help local authorities and settings with the increasing costs of supporting children and young people with complex SEND.</p><p>Local authorities are required to establish a Special Educational Needs Inclusion Fund to provide additional top-up funding to childcare settings. This fund requires all local authorities to work with providers to address the needs of individual children with SEND.</p><p>The Early Years National Funding Formula contains an additional needs element to take account of the number of three and four-year-old children with additional needs in an area. The Disability Access Fund will be at least £828 per eligible child for 2023/24.</p><p>The department has also committed to funding up to 5,000 early years special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs) to get an accredited level 3 Early Years SENCO qualification.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Claire Coutinho question first answered 30/03/2023 16:12:35 answering member 4806 label Biography information for Claire Coutinho

uin	165499
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2023 answer text <p>The Department funds health and care research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). In the 2022/23 financial year, so far, NIHR Programmes have spent nearly £1.7 million on sickle cell disease research and nearly £2.7 million on cystic fibrosis research.</p><p>There has also been one specialised clinical trial assured for sickle cell disease since the publication of the Excess Treatment Costs guidance, however, it is not possible to separate costs for patients on the trial from costs relating to standard care treatment.</p><p>New innovative treatments, such as Crizanlizumab for sickle cell disease, are subject to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence commercial confidentiality agreements. There have been no new treatments for cystic fibrosis commencing during 2022/23.</p><p>Regarding treatment costs, there is a range of care and treatments available for sickle cell disease, which is not split by diagnosis, and therefore cannot be separately identified. The following table shows total expenditure on drugs and clinical care for cystic fibrosis.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>High-cost drugs</p></td><td><p>Clinical care</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021/22 (full year)</p></td><td><p>£438,042.681</p></td><td><p>£127,585,986</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022/23 to M11 (Feb 23)</p></td><td><p>£470,103,672</p></td><td><p>£120,136,690</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: NHS Contract monitoring information</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 30/03/2023 12:43:23 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 1 March 2023 to Question 146908 on Hospital Beds: Costs, what the unit cost per day is for NHS (a) elective, (b) non-elective, (c) high dependency and (d) standard ward beds.
tabling member constituency	Leicester West
tabling member printed	Liz Kendall
uin	165361
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2023 answer text <p>Using cost collection data for 2020/21, the most recently available data, the unit cost per day of NHS hospital beds is as follows:</p><p>- Elective - £2,349</p><p>- Non-elective - £901</p><p>- Critical care - £1,881</p><p>- Standard bed - £345</p><p> </p><p>The elective and non-elective costs above are the average cost per day in those points of delivery, including treatment costs. Elective care has a higher average per day cost as elective patients often have shorter spells in hospital. Patients who are admitted as non-elective admissions often spend longer in hospital including recovery and days spent waiting for discharge, so whilst the total cost for non-elective treatment is higher than elective treatment, the average per day cost is reduced as it is spread over many more days. Costs for critical care are averages across adults, children, and neonates. The standard bed cost is the average cost of a bed day excluding any treatment costs.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 30/03/2023 14:55:27 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
