answer text <p>We recognise that better provision of defibrillators, and increasing the number of people trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, could help save more lives of those who have a cardiac arrest outside a hospital setting. Therefore, we encourage organisations to consider purchasing a defibrillator as part of their first-aid equipment, particularly where there are high concentrations of people.</p><p> </p><p>In order to further support the National Health Service and local communities, the Government has provided £2 million to make public access defibrillators more widely available and to increase the numbers of people trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.</p> more like this

Good progress has been made, with 18 year olds from disadvantaged backgrounds 43% more likely to go to university now than in 2009, but we want to do more.</p><p>That is why we continue to push for improvement in these areas. Through the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, the Office for Students will have a statutory duty to promote equality of opportunity in access and participation for all students. The Act introduces a Transparency Duty that will require HE institutions to publish data on the access and success of certain groups of students. Greater transparency will push universities to build on what has already been achieved.</p><p>Our guidance to the Director for Fair Access in 2016 asked him to encourage institutions to make more effort in the area of recruiting more mature learners and this is reflected in guidance to institutions on access agreements. We are removing barriers to the growth of accelerated courses, which particularly appeal to mature students.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is listening to the sector’s concerns about Brexit and has taken action to provide greater certainty. We have announced that EU students starting their courses in the academic year 18/19 or before will continue to be eligible for student loans and home fee status for the duration of their course.</p>

UCAS data covers applications to full-time undergraduate courses only.</p><p>Data for the 2017 cycle is available here:</p><p><a href="https://www.ucas.com/corporate/data-and-analysis/ucas-undergraduate-releases/2017-cycle-applicant-figures-june-deadline-0" target="_blank">https://www.ucas.com/corporate/data-and-analysis/ucas-undergraduate-releases/2017-cycle-applicant-figures-june-deadline-0</a></p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to maintaining the UK’s world class higher education system while living within its means and ensuring all those with the talent to benefit from a higher education can afford to do so. To put higher education funding onto a more sustainable footing, the Government asked future graduates to meet more of the costs of their studies through replacing maintenance grants with loans.</p><p>Tuition fees will not increase in real terms and Higher Education and publicly funded institutions will remain free at the point of access for those who are eligible, as tuition fee loans will increase to cover increased tuition fees.</p><p>In practice, the people who are affected by the decision to charge an interest rate of up to RPI+3% are those high-earning borrowers who pay back all, or very nearly all, their student loans; many of those who do not fully pay back their loans will see this part of their loan balance written off.</p><p> </p><p>Freezing the repayment threshold enabled the Government to abolish student number controls – lifting the cap on aspiration and enabling more people to realise their potential.</p><p> </p><p>To deliver more nurses and other health professionals for the NHS, a better funding system for healthcare students, and a sustainable model for universities, the funding system and financial support offered to most undergraduate nursing, midwifery and allied health professional students is being changed. From 1 August 2017, new undergraduate students will receive tuition fee loans and, for full-time courses, living costs support, administered by the Student Loans Company, rather than NHS bursaries.</p><p> </p><p>Entry to nursing, midwifery and allied health profession remains competitive, with a ratio of nearly two applicants per nurse training place. Health Education England commissioned 23,285 nursing and midwifery places for the 2016/17 academic year. The overall numbers of applicants to English providers from all domiciles is 44,160 as of the June 2017 UCAS deadline. Health Education England therefore remain confident that they will be able to fill the number of training places required to meet NHS workforce requirements and are working with the university sector to support student recruitment in 2017/18.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
