question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the role of international students in subsidising domestic students in universities.
tabling member printed	Lord Carlile of Berriew
uin	HL4767
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2024 answer text <p>International student fee income made up 43% of the overall UK higher education (HE) sector fee income in 2021/22 (£10.4 billion of £24.4 billion). The fee income from international students can be used by providers to subsidise the costs of delivering courses to domestic students for whom tuition fees are capped at £9,250.</p><p> </p><p>Domestic students continue to make up the vast majority of students within universities. International students made up only 15% of all undergraduate entrants at UK providers in 2021/22.</p><p> </p><p>It is important that the department promotes a sustainable HE funding system that responds to the needs of the economy and that is fair to students and to taxpayers. The government keeps the HE funding system under continuous review to ensure that this remains the case, and to provide many different opportunities for learners to acquire vital skills.</p><p> </p><p>In 2022/23, the total income of the HE sector in England was £43.9 billion, up from £29.1 billion in 2015/16. Of the £43.9 billion, approximately £16.3 billion was provided by the government. Over the current Spending Review period, the government is investing £1.3 billion in capital funding to support teaching and research.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 24/05/2024 10:32:55 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government whether they expect integrated care boards in England to be able to identify how much money they spend on children’s hospices; and, if not, what action they will take.
tabling member printed	Lord Carlile of Berriew
uin	HL1402
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2024 answer text <p>The Government does not hold information regarding the amount of money each integrated care board (ICB) spends on children’s hospices. There is currently no plan to take any action to ensure that ICBs can identify how much money they spend specifically on children’s hospices.</p><p> </p><p>At a national level, NHS England supports palliative and end of life care for children and young people through the Children and Young People’s hospice grant. The grant provided approximately £17 million in 2021/22, £21 million in 2022/23 and £25 million in 2023/24 directly to children and young people’s hospices. NHS England has confirmed that it will be renewing the grant for 2024/25, once again allocating £25 million grant funding for children’s hospices using the same prevalence-based allocation approach as in 2022/23 and 2023/24. NHS England is reprioritising budgets for 2024/25, in light of the revised assessment of financial position and, whilst it is holding funding aside for the children and young people’s hospice sector, it cannot confirm further details, including the distribution mechanism, until 2024/25 financial planning is concluded.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, in line with the NHS Long Term Plan commitment, NHSE has provided approximately £8.5 million match-funding to participating ICBs and formerly clinical commissioning groups between 2022/23 and 2023/24 that committed to invest in children and young people’s palliative and end of life care, including hospices, giving a total investment of £17 million for that period.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 16/01/2024 14:23:36 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
