answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2018 answer text <p>The Secretary of State welcomes the research from Fields in Trust and recognises the benefits accessing good quality parks and spaces can make to people’s health and wellbeing.</p><p>While no specific assessment has been made on the effect of changes to the level of funding on health and the NHS, we know that increasing the use of good quality green space for all social groups is likely to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequalities. It can also bring other benefits such as greater community cohesion and reduced social isolation.Public Health England’s briefing, written by the Institute of Health Equity, summarise a detailed evidence review here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/355792/Briefing8_Green_spaces_health_inequalities.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/355792/Briefing8_Green_spaces_health_inequalities.pdf</a></p><p>In September 2017, the Government created the ‘Parks Action Group’ to address the issues facing public parks. The Government is working closely with the experts on the group - including Fields in Trust to develop our understanding of the matters facing our public parks and green spaces. Work is currently underway to develop a clearer understanding of the funding picture and to identify a range of initiatives to support the long-term sustainability of our parks and green spaces.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 21/11/2018 13:52:27 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2018 answer text <p>We are giving local authorities the tools they need to build. We have abolished the Housing Revenue Account borrowing cap, giving local authorities the freedom to borrow to build, in line with the Prudential Code. Local authorities can bid alongside housing associations for the £9 billion Affordable Homes Programme to build affordable homes. We are also providing a longer term rent deal for 5 years from 2020 to provide local authorities with a stable investment environment to deliver new homes and we have consulted on options for allowing local authorities more flexibility in the use of their Right to Buy receipts.</p><p>We are developing the planning capacity local authorities need to increase the delivery of new homes through the Planning Delivery Fund. Local authorities are able to draw from a wide range of sector led advice, good practice, and case study examples and we will also be working closely with local authorities to ensure they are able to make the most of the tools we have given them.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 21/11/2018 14:03:22 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

The annual statistical release, based on street counts and estimates by all local authorities each autumn and published in January, will allow us to assess the extent of this.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 21/11/2018 14:05:38 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
