answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2022 answer text <p>The Government's Service Standard is mandated for government departments to follow in the development of new digital services. The Service Standard requires new services to be accessible to all users, including disabled people, people with other legally protected characteristics, people who do not have access to the internet and/or lack the skills or confidence to use the internet.</p><p>The Service Standard mandates that users who need “assisted digital support” should be able to access public services by phone, face to face meetings, or via webchat. All central government services must meet these requirements to go onto <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgov.uk%2F&amp;data=05%7C01%7CParliamentary%40levellingup.gov.uk%7C595df58a49fc426f5b2508da5a803dbd%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637921804095549726%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=Kya0WCPdjOjokCwR1NJkSo7wHqQ5P%2F31sFj07gSLXaQ%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">GOV.UK</a> and assurance is provided through a formal Assessment process.</p><p>The NHS also follows the Service Standard with additional elements specific to health needs. People can contact their GP practice by telephone, in person or using a secure online form and patients unable to access remote general practice consultations for any reason should be offered an alternative appointment mode. In England and Wales there is no provision for births, deaths, marriages or civil partnerships to be registered online, attendance in person is required. Online tools must always be provided in addition to, rather than as a replacement for, other channels for accessing general practice, and practice receptions should be open so that patients without access to telephone or online services are in no way disadvantaged.</p><p>Responsibility for parking facilities rests with the relevant local authority, as they are best placed to consider how local needs can be effectively met.</p><p>DLUHC is currently reviewing Private Parking Code of Practice, which has previously recommended that operators accept at least two different payment methods. For example, cash and card. There are currently no plans to issue a similar direction to local authority car parks.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 07/07/2022 15:36:49 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh

hansard heading	Carbon Monoxide: Poisoning
house id	2
legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, in formulating the draft Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022, they considered the impact of carbon monoxide poisoning arising from sources in adjacent properties; and why the draft Regulations do not include a requirement for audible carbon monoxide detectors in bedrooms where there is no fixed combustion appliance, except for gas cookers.
tabling member printed	Baroness Finlay of Llandaff
uin	HL1273
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2022 answer text <p>In formulating the draft regulations, the Government considered national statistics on overall numbers of accidental carbon monoxide poisonings. This, and the falling costs of carbon monoxide alarms, supported the case to extend alarm requirements to include social housing, to rooms having fixed combustion appliances in both rented sectors and to rooms where fixed combustion appliances are installed all irrespective of heating fuel (excluding gas cookers). These regulations, which will provide parity between rented sectors, are applicable to dwellings where a landlord has responsibility for internal repairs and maintenance. They do not account for adjacent properties for which the landlord is not responsible. This decision was based on the evidence and the right balance between safety for residents and ensuring regulatory burdens are proportionate.</p><p>Requiring alarms in rooms with fixed combustion appliances will help to mitigate risks in other rooms, as alarms will detect and give audible warning of carbon monoxide before it has a chance to spread elsewhere. It would not be proportionate to mandate additional alarms in other rooms, including bedrooms, that do not contain a fixed combustion appliance.</p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 08/07/2022 14:01:37 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh
