This guidance can be found at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://pathways.nice.org.uk/pathways/end-of-life-care-for-people-with-life-limiting-conditions" target="_blank">https://pathways.nice.org.uk/pathways/end-of-life-care-for-people-with-life-limiting-conditions</a></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan, published on 7 January 2019, announced that that by 2023/24 an extra 345,000 children and young people aged 0-25 will receive mental health support via National Health Service-funded mental health services. Under the Long Term Plan, mental health services will continue to receive a growing share of the NHS budget, with funding to grow by at least £2.3 billion a year by 2023/24. For the first time, funding for children and young people’s mental health services will grow faster than both overall NHS funding and total mental health spending.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the commitments set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, on 20 December we announced the first wave of 25 trailblazer sites that will test the plans set out in ‘Transforming children and young people’s mental health provision: a green paper’, published in December 2017. These new plans will significantly increase the availability of mental health support to children and young people, including those with life limiting conditions.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 30/01/2019 17:49:23 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

NHS England commissions primary care dental services and is responsible for ensuring there are sufficient dental services to meet local need. NHS England is closely monitoring any local difficulties in recruitment and retention and over the summer held a workshop with various dental stakeholders to identify the causes and potential actions.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 21/12/2018 14:11:42 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>The current new-born screening programme in the United Kingdom screens for nine rare but serious conditions including phenylketonuria (PKU). To recognise rare conditions such as PKU, doctors and other healthcare professionals are expected to ensure their clinical knowledge remains up-to-date and to identify their ongoing learning needs as part of their continuing professional development. This activity should include taking account of new research and developments in guidance in relevant specialty areas, such as those produced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence or the Royal Colleges, to ensure that they can continue to provide high quality care to all patients.</p><p> </p><p>Steps to increase the awareness of rare diseases such as PKU are being taken through the implementation of the UK Strategy for Rare Diseases. The Strategy includes commitments to improving the lives of all patients affected by rare diseases including in areas of identification/ prevention and diagnosis and early intervention. The Government is committed to implementing the Strategy’s commitments and in January 2018, the Department and NHS England published Implementation Plans setting out their actions for England.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 28/11/2018 17:39:49 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
