answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2024 answer text <p>In England, eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is not determined by age, diagnosis or condition, or financial means. It is assessed on a case-by-case basis considering the totality of an individual’s needs, including ways in which these needs interact with one another.</p><p>When an individual is identified as potentially eligible for CHC, the <em>National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS Funded Nursing Care </em>sets out the process for determining whether they have a ‘primary health need’. This includes assessment by a multidisciplinary team using a tool that has been developed to identify an individual’s needs and aid consistent decision making. A copy of the framework is attached.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 27/02/2024 15:18:46 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham attachment 1 file name National-Framework-for-NHS-Continuing-Healthcare-and-NHS-funded-Nursing-Care_July-2022-revised_corrected-July-2023 (7).pdf title National Framework for CHC

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2024 answer text <p>Every school or college with confirmed RAAC has been assigned dedicated support from caseworkers and project delivery teams are also on hand to support with implementing mitigation plans.</p><p>Every case is unique and the impact on schools and colleges can be varied. The department will work with schools and colleges to put in place a bespoke plan based on their circumstances. In some cases, there is no impact on teaching space or it is limited to small areas. For others, mitigation plans can include using other spaces on the school site or locally until building works are carried out or temporary buildings are installed.</p><p>Alongside Ofqual, the department has also asked awarding organisations to be as flexible as possible within the confines of their processes and regulations, for example by agreeing longer extensions to coursework and non-exam assessment deadlines so that affected schools and colleges have as much time as possible to complete this important part of students' learning and qualifications. In the case of vocational and technical qualifications, it may be considering if students can take the assessment in a future assessment opportunity.</p><p>Furthermore, students taking GCSE exams in 2024 will be provided with enhanced formulae and equation sheets so they will not need to memorise the usual formulae and equations for GCSE mathematics, physics and combined science, as they would in a normal year.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 06/03/2024 14:45:18 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
