In order to achieve this, NHS England has invested approximately £10 million per annum over financial years 2017/18 and 2018/19 for the development of hospital multidisciplinary diabetic foot services where they do not exist in England, and to expand capacity in pre-existing services where additional capacity is required. This has resulted in investment in 41 multidisciplinary diabetic foot services nationally, representing 137 additional staff.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 26/11/2018 17:44:54 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

It applies to all international organisations where the UK and EU are actors. This includes the UN and its agencies, and other international bodies, such as OECD and OSCE. The UK will remain an active and effective international player. We will continue to have a strong independent voice in the UN as a P5 member, and across a range of other UN bodies, agencies and in other international fora.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>Teachers are currently able to cover topics relating to parenting in their wider school curriculum, including in their personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) lessons. Many schools use the PSHE Association’s non-statutory programme of study. The roles and responsibilities of the programme include parenting skills, the value of family relationships, and the impact of separation, divorce and bereavement on families.</p><p> </p><p>Under provisions in the Children and Social Work Act 2017, the Government is making regulations to introduce mandatory Relationships Education in all primary schools, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) in all secondary schools and Health Education in state-funded primary and secondary schools. The key aim of Relationships Education is to put in place the building blocks needed for positive and safe relationships of all kinds, starting with family and friends, and moving out to other kinds of relationships, including online. RSE will also cover the importance of healthy relationships and the roles and responsibilities of parents.</p><p> </p><p>Consultation on draft regulations and associated guidance for the new subjects closed on 7 November. The Department is currently considering the responses to the consultation, and plans to finalise the regulations and guidance next year and lay the regulations for debate in Parliament. Schools will be encouraged and supported to teach the new subjects from September 2019, and it will be mandatory to do so from September 2020.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 26/11/2018 17:27:44 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
