answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2017 answer text <p>There has been an increase in delayed transfers of care over the past two years. This has resulted in pressure on the availability of hospital beds. The proportion of occupied bed capacity attributable to social care delays is estimated at 1.8% between April 2016 and November 2016, which is an increase of 0.8 percentage points over the same period in 2014-15. However, there is also a 20-fold difference in social care delays between the 10% best performing and 10% worst performing local authorities but not a 20-fold difference in funding.</p><p> </p><p>The Department, NHS England, NHS Improvement and local government are working together to provide a wide-ranging package of support to help local areas improve transfers out of hospital and reduce delays. This includes the implementation of best practice interventions such as:</p><p> </p><p>- home first or discharge to assess models of care - so patients are discharged quickly and safely to home or to step down care so they no longer need wait unnecessarily for assessments in hospital; and</p><p>- trusted assessor models - using trusted assessors to carry out a holistic assessment of need avoids duplication and speeds up response times so that people can be discharged in a safe and timely way.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 10/02/2017 09:25:03 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat

This has, however, had an unintended consequence – restrictions to improve risk management of the most serious offenders, have resulted in lower risk offenders not being able to benefit from ROTL.</p><p> </p><p>We will maintain the improvements made while allowing governors greater discretion in how they tailor their ROTL regime to the circumstances of each offender. We know that three of the most powerful factors helping to keep ex-offenders from re-offending are a good job, strong family ties and a stable place to live - ROTL makes all of them easier to achieve. Public protection is our top priority and we have no intention of changing the full risk-assessment offenders on ROTL must undergo and any non-compliance will be dealt with robustly.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 09/02/2017 17:17:33 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
