answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2018 answer text <p>Our first priority in negotiations was to reach a deal on citizens’ rights, which we did in December. This gives certainty to those EU citizens living in the UK, and UK nationals living in the EU, that they can continue living their lives broadly as now.</p><p> </p><p>The joint agreement reached in December confirmed a shared desire to make progress on an implementation period; and that sufficient progress had been made to progress to phase two of negotiations for exiting the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Business optimism is driven by confidence in the long-term performance of the economy. Recent CBI survey’s report that UK business confidence remains positive and business investment has continued to grow in recent quarters. The Industrial Strategy, published by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy last year, sets out a long-term vision of an economy that boosts productivity and earning power throughout the UK.</p><p> </p><p>Our focus now has to be on getting the right deal for the implementation period – the period immediately following the UK’s exit next March.</p><p> </p><p>As you would expect, the Government is considering a range of options for the future immigration system and we will set out initial plans in the coming months. That is why we have commissioned the independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to gather evidence on patterns of EU migration and the role of migration in the wider economy, ahead of our exit from the EU.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 20/02/2018 14:13:09 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/02/2023 answer text <p>No assessment has been made. Palliative and end of life care, including hospice care, is commissioned locally by integrated care boards (ICBs) in response to the needs of its local population. Any assessment would therefore be made at a local level.</p><p>At a national level, NHS England have released £1.5 billion additional funding to ICBs to provide support for inflation, with ICBs deciding how best to distribute this funding within its system. This is in addition to the support provided by Government through the Energy Bill Relief Scheme and the new Energy Bill Discount Scheme which will run from April 2023 until March 2024 and continue to provide a discount to eligible non-domestic customers, including hospices.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 15/02/2023 13:20:12 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
