uin	112668
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>It is important that once a planning permission for new homes is in place, work to deliver those homes should begin as soon as possible. The Government wants to see homes built faster and expects house builders to deliver more homes, more quickly and to a high quality standard.</p><p>However, it is important to recognise that after planning permission for new homes is granted, a variety of factors can slow down delivery. Rather than focusing on a single issue, the Housing White Paper acknowledged that all parties in the development process need to play their part in speeding up the delivery of much-needed new homes. That is why the Housing White Paper set out a wide ranging approach to driving up build out of planning permissions.</p><p>We have already taken important steps to help unblock sites, such as the introduction of the Housing Infrastructure Fund and we are considering how to take forward other elements of the Housing White Paper. In addition, we have recently consulted on what further action could be taken to increase build rates as part of our consultation on calculating local housing need. This consultation closed on 9 November and analysis of the responses is now underway.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 20/11/2017 13:38:36 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>My Department is committed to the health and wellbeing of all its staff. The Civil Service has set out five priorities for the health and wellbeing - both physical and mental - of its employees and has committed to being a leading employer on mental health support, in line with the recommendations set out in the recently published independent review, Thriving At Work.</p><p>My Department is committed to meeting all the appropriate standards in the Thriving at Work report. As part of that commitment we will benchmark how the support we offer to employees compares to the recommendations set out in the review and will take additional action if and as required.</p><p>One of the key priorities in my Department's People Plan is Inclusion and Wellbeing. We published a comprehensive Health and Wellbeing Plan in July 2017, which sets out a series of measures and actions to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of our staff, e.g. the development of a mental health toolkit for line managers.</p><p>In addition we actively promote the specialist services of our Employee Assistance Programme, the Occupational Health Service and the Civil Service Workplace Adjustment Team to ensure our employees are supported appropriately in the workplace. Over 150 DCLG staff have received Mental Health First Aider training and over 50 of them have gone on to become volunteer Mental Health Ambassadors, providing a confidential listening and advice service. The Department also operates a Mental Health Support Group and offers a number of health and well being training events to improve awareness and understanding, such as Building Resilience.</p><p>My Department is also taking part in Mind's Workplace Wellbeing Index which will help us identify where we are doing well and when we could improve. We intend to use the outcome of our benchmarking activity, against the recommendations in the Thriving at Work report, to further develop our action plans and help us to build on our existing good practice.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 20/11/2017 15:23:50 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
