answer text <p>Currently we have no plans to set up a specific system for Veterans. For the general population, including veterans, Public Health Funerals in England and Wales are provided by local authorities for people who have passed away and have no next of kin, or whose next of kin, relatives or friends are unable or unwilling to make the necessary arrangements for a funeral. They are designed to protect public health and are important in ensuring that all individuals are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their circumstances.</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/public-health-funerals-good-practice-guidance/public-health-funerals-good-practice-guidance" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/public-health-funerals-good-practice-guidance/public-health-funerals-good-practice-guidance</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Generally, Veterans' funeral arrangements are not a Ministry of Defence (MOD) matter. However, the MOD does provide funeral expenses to help pay for the funeral of a War Pensioner or veteran whose death was due to service before 6 April 2005, War Pensions Constant Attendance Allowance was being paid or would have been paid had the War Pensioner not been in hospital when they died, or their Unemployability Supplement was in payment at the time of death and the War Pension was being paid at 80% or higher;</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/funeral-expenses-for-war-pensioners-and-veterans#eligibility" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/funeral-expenses-for-war-pensioners-and-veterans#eligibility</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>For Service Personnel the MOD offers to fund funerals and mark the graves of those who have died in paid military service.</p>

answer text <p>The objective of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJR) is to help employers whose operations have been severely affected by coronavirus (COVID-19) to retain their employees and protect the UK economy. To achieve this, the grants compensate employers for the payments that they are obliged to make in order to avoid the need for redundancies. Covering discretionary payments would go beyond the objectives of the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Therefore, where tronc payments are non-discretionary, they are included when calculating payments for the purpose of the CJRS. Where tronc payments are made at the discretion of the employer or a client, they cannot be included when calculating payments for the purpose of the CJRS.</p> more like this

answer text <p>In July 2015, NHS England published a clinical commissioning policy to guide and expand access to BRCA testing based on updated guidelines issued by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Data collection took place between June and July 2016 respectively for 2014/15 and 2015/16. The report is due to be available to UKGTN at the end of March 2017.</p><p> </p><p>However, NHS England will explore data collection on testing for lynch syndrome with UKGTN as part of their work to look at options for implementation of Recommendation 36 of the independent Cancer Taskforce report.</p>
