answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2018 answer text <p>For children and young people with a suspected eating disorder (up to 19 years), the Government is investing £150 million to expand eating disorder services and staff for 70 extended or new established community eating disorder services. This means at least 3,350 children and young people a year will receive swift, effective eating disorder treatment in the community.</p><p>The Government has commissioned Health Education England to repeat the 2015 baseline audit of the children and young people’s mental health workforce, across all statutory and voluntary sector providers. This will include staff delivering care in the new or extended community eating disorder services. This data will allow NHS England to monitor progress with increasing the staffing of eating disorders services to improve access and deliver care in line with the published pathway guidance and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence clinical guidance.</p><p>The planned spend by clinical commissioning groups on children and young people’s eating disorders in 2017/18 is £46,717,000 which includes the £30 million per year in clinical commissioning group baselines. This additional funding contributes to increasing staff to create the community eating disorder multidisciplinary teams.

uin	129971
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2018 answer text <p>NHS England has a legal duty to commission National Health Service dental services to meet the needs of the local population. NHS England also has arrangements in place to help patients who cannot find a local dentist that is accepting new patients.</p><p> </p><p>The proportion of children seeing a dentist at least once a year is already high with 6.8 million children having seen a dentist in the 12 months ending 31 December 2017. This is 110,767 more children than saw a dentist in the 12 month period ending 31 December 2016.</p><p> </p><p>Survey data suggests 75% of children are now decay free at five years old. But there is further to go to ensure all children benefit from this improvement. The proposed new contract being tested includes a clinical pathway which supports dentists to provide the most appropriate preventative care as well as active treatment. Alongside this NHS England is targeting children in areas of particularly high need.</p><p> </p><p>The ‘Starting Well’ programme has been launched in 13 high needs areas and aims to reach children not currently being seen regularly by a dentist. Starting Well core, a complementary programme NHS England is developing, will take the principles of approach and make it available as a broader model to any commissioner based on local assessment of need and priorities. This is expected to be available later in 2018.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 07/03/2018 10:31:58 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

tabling member constituency	Windsor
tabling member printed	Adam Afriyie
uin	129995
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government set parity of esteem in physical and mental health in law in the Health and Social Care Act 2012. The Government further reinforced this commitment by welcoming the independent Mental Health Taskforce’s Five Year Forward View for Mental Health report in February 2016. The report set out a strategy for change in four key areas to drive forward improvements in mental health: promoting good mental health and helping people lead the lives they want to live, integrating care, creating a seven-day National Health Service for mental health and hard wiring mental health across health and social care.</p><p>The Government accepted all the report’s recommendations in January 2017 and published a detailed action plan for taking forward the recommendations, including how we will monitor progress and report transparently. NHS England’s Implementation plan for the Five Year Forward View, published in July 2016, also set out a robust plan for delivering the commitments set out in the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health.</p><p>The Government has also set up the first waiting times standards for mental health, including for those experiencing a first episode of psychosis. Latest figures show that over 75% of people experiencing their first episode of psychosis commence treatment within two weeks, exceeding the 50% Early Intervention in Psychosis target set for 2016/17.</p><p>NHS England’s Mental Health Investment Standard also requires the local NHS to increase mental health investment by at least the same proportion as overall allocations. This is planned to be met across England as a whole in 2017/18 and 2018/19. For 2018/19 all clinical commissioning groups will be required to meet the Mental Health Investment Standard and this will be subject to confirmation by their auditors.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 07/03/2018 10:56:15 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
