answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government considers all the relevant factors in setting the level of the public health grant. Over the five years of the current spending review period we are making over £16 billion of grant funding available to local authorities in England exclusively for use on improving health. The grant is only a proportion of the total spending on public health: for example, NHS England commissions national screening and immunisation programmes with a budget of £1.2 billion in 2017/18, and many other interventions occur in National Health Service primary care settings. Public Health England monitors progress against the wide-ranging set of indicators published in the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) which shows that, as a whole, for the majority of PHOF indicators the trends in England are either broadly constant or have improved in comparison with 2014.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 29/11/2018 16:05:11 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises the need for additional investment in mental health services and the Institute for Public Policy Research report represents a valuable contribution to the debate.</p><p> </p><p>The Government announced its long term financial settlement for the National Health Service in June. This will represent an increase of £20.5 billion in real terms by 2023/24 and the chancellor has already announced that at least a further £2 billion of this will go to fund mental health, including expanding crisis services and supporting more people with severe mental illness into employment.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has asked the NHS to develop a long term plan which will set out a vision for the health service and ensure every penny is well spent. The Government has been clear that better access to mental health services, to help achieve the Government’s commitment to parity of esteem between mental and physical health, is one of the principles which must underpin the plan. Further details will follow when the plan is published in due course.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 28/11/2018 14:22:14 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

This is because modern, well managed incinerators make only a small contribution to local concentrations of air pollutants. It is possible that such small additions could have an impact on health but such effects, if they exist, are likely to be very small and not detectable.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 29/11/2018 14:14:31 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
