answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2022 answer text <p>The department does not hold specific data on the number of children in care placed with private providers or local authorities. Ofsted publishes data on the number of places available in children’s homes or foster care that are provided by local authorities or private companies, but not the proportion of places taken up by children.</p><p> </p><p>As of 31 March 2021, private companies ran 83% of children’s homes (2,032) in England, providing 78% (7,555) of places. Local authorities ran 14% (339) of children’s homes, providing 16% (1,643) of places. Twenty-three of these local authority homes were run by organisations that provide the children’s services function of the council, including trusts. Voluntary providers ran 91 homes (4%), providing 501 places (5%).</p><p> </p><p>There were 13 secure children’s homes in England as of 31 March 2021, offering 234 places in total. 12 of these homes are run by local authorities and one by a voluntary organisation.</p><p>Local authorities provided 64% (29,500) of foster placements in England as of 31 March 2021, with the remaining 36% (15,800) provided through independent fostering agencies.</p><p> </p><p>The recent children’s social care market study completed by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) considered evidence of cost differentials between private providers and local authority run children’s homes (excluding secure children’s homes) and foster care. Their analysis found that for children’s homes, the cost to local authorities to provide their own placements was no lower than procuring these through private providers. However, the analysis also found indicative evidence that for fostering placements, local authorities could provide some placements more cheaply in-house as opposed to purchasing them through private providers.</p><p> </p><p>The department has welcomed the report and is carefully considering the CMA’s recommendations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 10/06/2022 10:27:46 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of setting up an emergency fund to support the customers of the failed Safe Hands Funeral Plans who may fall into funeral poverty as a result of that company's collapse.
tabling member constituency	Hemsworth
tabling member printed	Jon Trickett
uin	3473
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2022 answer text <p>In January 2021, the government legislated to bring all pre-paid funeral plan providers and intermediaries within the regulatory remit of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) from 29 July 2022. When FCA regulation takes effect, funeral plan providers will need to be authorised by the FCA in order to enter into or carry out funeral plan contracts.</p><p> </p><p>Safe Hands Plans has recently gone into administration. The government understands that this development will be concerning for customers of Safe Hands and continues to monitor the implementation of regulation in this sector closely.</p><p> </p><p>Dignity’s recent commitment to provide ongoing support to Safe Hands’ customers for the next six months is welcome. This will ensure that any planholders who pass away during this time will receive a funeral without any additional charge.</p><p> </p><p>It is unfortunate but unavoidable that bringing a previously unregulated sector into regulation – whatever form that may take – creates a possibility that some providers are not able to meet the threshold for authorisation. However, a well-regulated market should promote effective competition and drive better outcomes for consumers in the long-term.</p><p> </p><p>Where a provider is unable to obtain FCA authorisation because of underlying issues, it is important to understand that this is not an issue created by bringing the sector into regulation. Rather, bringing the sector into regulation exposes these unsustainable business models and prevents these problems from getting worse.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 26/05/2022 07:49:15 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

In February 2022, 655 practices were registered in this region.</p><p>A reduction in practice numbers can be for a variety of reasons, including practice mergers or closures and does not mean a reduction in the quality of care. Practice mergers can offer benefits such as consolidation of back-office functions and sharing of staff expertise and skills between practices. Where a practice closes, patients are informed and advised to register at another local practice of their choice within their area. Practices and commissioners must put in place appropriate measures to ensure that the affected patients have access to general practitioner services.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 28/04/2022 08:17:28 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
