answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>The Department funds research into all aspects of human health, including cancer, through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) at the level of £1 billion per year. NIHR cancer research expenditure has risen from £101 million in 2010/11 to £142 million in 2015/16.</p><p> </p><p>As with other Government funders of health research, the NIHR does not allocate funding for specific disease areas. The level of research spend in a particular area, such as brain cancer, is driven by factors including scientific potential and the number and scale of successful funding applications.</p><p> </p><p>The Department of Health Task and Finish Working Group on Brain Tumour Research is bringing together clinicians, charities, patients, and officials to discuss how, working together with research funding partners, we can address the need to increase the level and impact of research into brain tumours. The Working Group is chaired by Professor Chris Whitty, the Department's Chief Scientific Adviser. The Working Group met for the fourth time on 26 July, and plans to report to the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health (Lord O’Shaughnessy) by autumn 2017.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 05/09/2017 13:19:52 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>The Home Office collects and publishes data on the number of officers primarily employed in Neighbourhood Policing/Safer Neighbourhood roles by police force area, as at 31 March each year.</p><p>The number of full time equivalent police officers in each police force (and specifically in West Midlands Police), primarily employed in Neighbourhood Policing/Safer Neighbourhood roles, can be found in the data tables published alongside the annual ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletins.</p><p>Data as at 31 March 2017 can be found in Table F1 of the accompanying tables of the police workforce statistics, published on 20 July 2017, here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-workforce-england-and-wales-31-march-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-workforce-england-and-wales-31-march-2017</a></p><p>Previous data were collected under a different framework, with different definitions. Therefore, data prior to 31 March 2015 are not directly comparable with later years. Although some functions may appear to be similar between the two, there are often differences in definitions, and so any attempts to compare across the two frameworks should be done with caution. Data under the old framework have been published since 2012, and can be found in the supplementary data tables of the relevant police workforce publications via the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales</a></p><p>Officers with multiple responsibilities or designations are recorded under their primary function. The data do not therefore provide a complete picture of all officers assigned to neighbourhood policing functions. A more reliable measure is the number of officers employed in ‘Local policing’ roles, which includes both neighbourhood and response functions. This measure is available for 2015, 2016 and 2017, but not for previous years where a different framework was used.</p><p>Any comparisons at force level should be made with care due to collaboration arrangements between forces for particular functions. Additionally, police functions data are often affected by re-structuring within police forces. Therefore comparisons over time for specific functions should be made with care.</p><p>Decisions on duties and deployments are matters for Chief Constables and the directly accountable Police and Crime Commissioners for each local area.</p><p>The Government believes in local policing, accountable to local communities. That is why we abolished all central Government targets and put local people in charge by introducing directly elected police and crime commissioners.</p><p>Police and Crime Commissioners, the elected mayors in London and Manchester and local forces are transforming the way in which they deploy operational resources to meet local circumstances and priorities and adapt to the changing crime threat. The distinction between Neighbourhoods and response teams is no longer clear cut as forces transform the way in which they deploy operational resources and evolve roles to meet local circumstances and priorities, and adapt to the changing crime threat.</p><p>The freedom to exercise discretion and flexibility has resulted in a range of local policing approaches. At least 33 forces have introduced significant changes, including merging neighbourhoods and response functions; or, for example, in Durham where safeguarding teams have been bought together with Neighbourhoods teams.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 05/09/2017 11:40:46 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
