answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/01/2020 answer text <p>In January 2019, we published the first cross-Government suicide prevention workplan, which sets out an ambitious programme of work across national and local government and the National Health Service to reduce suicide rates across all age groups. This includes work to support children and young people through our Green Paper on children and young people’s mental health. The workplan also outlines action being taken to reduce suicide rates in high-risk groups such as men by, amongst other things, raising awareness and reducing stigma of mental health in this group.</p><p> </p><p>Through the NHS Long Term Plan, we are also investing £57 million in suicide prevention to support local suicide prevention plans and establish suicide bereavement support services. We have worked with NHS England to ensure that local areas use this funding to test approaches to reaching and engaging men in their local communities. We are also increasing investment in children’s and young people’s mental health services, meaning that, by 2023/24, an extra 345,000 children and young people aged 0-25 will receive mental health support via NHS-funded mental health services and school- or college-based mental health support teams.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 10/01/2020 14:13:22 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

These include:</p><p>- improving mental health crisis services with an increase in the number of days that the ‘safe haven’ service will operate in 2020 with a new location opening in High Wycombe. Home treatment for acutely unwell mental health patients will also start to be offered;</p><p>- two mental health support teams becoming operational in 2019, working in 33 schools across Buckinghamshire to provide interventions to young people with low to moderate mental health needs. The CCG will bid for national funding to expand this offering in 2020;</p><p>- increasing access to Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). The number of young people accessing these services has increased and waiting times for assessment have decreased.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>On 29 November 2018, the Government introduced a ban of combustible materials in the external wall of buildings including blocks of flats, student accommodation and care homes with a storey more than 18 metres in height. The ban requires that all materials which become part of an external wall or specified attachment achieve European Class A2-s1, d0 or Class A1, other than those covered by exemptions. There are currently no timber cladding panels able to achieve this performance.</p><p>As stated in the explanatory memorandum the Department intends to review the ban annually through monitoring arrangements and advice from bodies such as Building Regulations Advisory Committee for England. <br> <br>The Department is currently in the process of reviewing the scope of the ban and will report in due course.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 07/01/2020 14:04:11 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

As well as incentivising better performance in the new service areas, part of the Fund will be dedicated to the commitment made in the NHS Long Term Plan to making ‘shared savings’.
