answer text <p>Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT), in conjunction with the British Geriatrics Society, published <em>Six Steps to Better Care for Older People in Acute Hospitals</em>, which accompanies the GIRFT hospital acute care frailty pathway. A copy of the document is attached.</p><p>The acute care pathway recommends that all older patients admitted to hospital as an emergency are assessed for their degree of frailty using a standardised assessment, namely the Clinical Frailty Scale. For patients identified as living with moderate or severe frailty, the pathway recommends a multidomain assessment, namely the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, and links this to functional optimisation, which would commonly include physiotherapy assessment supporting recovery or maintenance of mobility.</p><p>Ongoing support to patients to prevent hospital-acquired deconditioning should be supported by the whole ward team after physiotherapists have recommended appropriate intervention.</p><p>The Six Steps to Better Care guidance makes similar recommendations for older patients admitted to hospital for planned care. As part of GIRFT's ongoing review and support, implementation of these recommendations is reviewed at individual hospital trusts, including the staffing levels of older person multidisciplinary teams, which include physiotherapists.</p><p>In addition, GIRFT recommends the development of Advanced Care Practitioners (ACPs) specialising in frailty. Some trusts have development programmes to support training of ACPs, although there is variation in provision.</p>

answer text <p>We are taking a range of measures to support farmers’ transition to net zero. We are investing in a range of actions through farming schemes such as the Sustainable Farming Incentive and Countryside Stewardship and Landscape Recovery. Our schemes will help farmers deliver environmental outcomes on the land they manage while helping their businesses become more productive and sustainable.</p><p><br> We will also pay farmers for improvements to animal health and welfare, as those improvements in turn can support lower emissions and improve productivity. We will also support market-led approaches such as improved productivity and use of precision techniques.</p><p><br> Robust and accurate carbon audits which are based on business-level data can be valuable in benchmarking performance and help farm businesses plan and action decarbonising measures and enhance management of negative emissions. To help farmers confidently understand the emissions on their land and take advantage of the new financial opportunities this will unlock, we are committed to developing a harmonised approach to measuring carbon on farms. We are also considering how we can best support the implementation of carbon audits through a controlled expansion of the Defra Farming and Countryside Programme sustainable farming advice offer.</p><p><br> We recognise the challenges in improving the robustness and consistency of carbon auditing tools. Defra is currently funding a 'Harmonisation of Carbon Accounting Tools for Agriculture' project to assess the level of divergence between a number of market leading carbon calculators, to understand the causes of this divergence and how it impacts tool users and consider recommendations for harmonisation. Defra aims to publish the full research report in 2024. Building on this research and working with existing tool providers, Defra aims to support carbon tool providers to harmonise their underlying methodologies so that outputs are consistent and comparable, and their ability to serve different customer needs is maintained.</p><p><br> Defra is also working to provide greater access to the calculations and the models developed as part of the UK’s Agricultural Inventory of Ammonia and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions to interested third parties. This will support longer term alignment between the UK’s national GHG accounts and primary data gathered from farms</p><p><br> The Government and the Environment Agency also support the agricultural sector with the Water Management Grant, under the Farming Transformation Fund, for the construction of new on-farm reservoirs and the adoption of best practice irrigation application equipment to help ensure farmers have access to water when they need it most. Through the first round of the grant, launched in November 2021, we are forecast to create an additional 4.7million cubic meters of reservoir storage. The total investment in reservoirs and irrigation equipment is predicted to be £7.4 million. Round 2 of the grant was launched in April 2023 with a total budget of £10 million.</p><p> </p>
