answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2023 answer text <p>The priorities for this Government are making sure that people have access to the right care, in the right place, at the right time. This has meant a need to review certain policy areas to focus on these priorities. Next Steps to put People at the Heart of Care announced a further £102 million, £50 million in 2023/24 and £52 million in 2024/25, for housing adaptation support. This is in addition to the £573 million per year which is already available for the Disabled Facilities Grant. This increase will enable local areas to fund supplementary services that are agile and help people stay independent, support hospital discharge, and make minor adaptations.</p><p>Local areas already have discretion on how they manage the grant, for example, they can increase the cap on a case-by-case basis or in line with a locally published housing assistance policy. They can also choose to waive the means test for grants costing under a certain amount. As with all aspects of the Disabled Facilities Grants, Government will continue to keep these reforms under review.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 15/06/2023 13:08:20 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

We are working with the National Health Service to improve inpatient mental health care and subsequent patient outcomes. The NHS Long Term Plan commits to expanding and transforming NHS mental health services by March 2024, including those provided in an inpatient setting.</p><p>Where the quality or safety of inpatient care falls short, it is important that we learn from any mistakes to improve care across the NHS and protect patients in the future. This is why we have conducted a rapid review into mental health inpatient settings, with a specific focus on how we use data and evidence, including complaints, feedback and whistleblowing alerts, to identify risks to safety and bring about improvements to outcome-based, therapeutic care. The review’s report is expected to be published shortly.</p><p>NHS England has also established a three-year quality transformation programme, which seeks to tackle the root causes of unsafe, poor-quality inpatient care in mental health, learning disability and autism settings.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 05/06/2023 13:26:07 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
