question text	To ask His Majesty's Government why fracture liaison services were not included in the ‘Delivery plan for tackling the COVID-19 backlog of elective care’ published in February 2022; how much of the £8 billion committed to support elective recovery under that plan has been allocated to fracture liaison services; and, if none, what were the reasons for that.
tabling member printed	Baroness Merron
uin	HL2252
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2024 answer text <p>The allocation of funding from the Elective Recovery Fund (ERF) would be a local decision for providers applying the guidance, so we are unable to provide a national picture of spending specifically on fracture liaison services (FLS). FLS’ may be included in, and have benefited from, the ERF if those community providers submit to the Secondary Uses Service outpatient activity, and if the activity falls under an ERF treatment function.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 13/02/2024 12:58:08 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

tabling member printed	Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe
uin	HL2252
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2017 answer text <p>On 4 October 2017, the Prime Minister announced an independent review of mental health legislation and practice to tackle the issue of mental health detention. The independent review will look at a range of issues, and central to this will be a consideration of why rates of detention are increasing and what can be done to reduce inappropriate detention and improve how different agencies respond to people in crisis. The review will make recommendations to Government in 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that improved community mental health services need to be in place, to support people before their mental health deteriorates to the point they need to be detained under the Mental Health Act. Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Teams will therefore receive £400 million in additional funding by 2021, to ensure that they can offer a responsive service at all times of the day.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also investing £247 million to 2021 in mental health support in hospital emergency departments, and police forces are working National Health Service partners to deliver street triage services to support people with immediate mental health needs. The Government has already introduced a waiting time standard to help ensure that people receive rapid access to Early Intervention in Psychosis services, and in August 2017, 75.3% of patients started treatment within two weeks of referral.</p><p> </p><p>On 18 October, the Government launched a new £15 million scheme, Beyond Places of Safety. This will seek to fund services in 2018/19 and 2019/20, including places of calm and crisis cafes, that offer support to people who are at risk of mental health crisis.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy grouped question UIN HL2253 question first answered 02/11/2017 12:59:24 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

tabling member printed	Lord Ahmed
uin	HL2252
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2015 answer text <p>Both Saudi Arabia and Yemen are parties to the 1954 Hague Convention on the Protection of Cultural Property in the event of Armed Conflict, and to the 1972 World Heritage Convention. The UK is supplying a range of precision-guided weapons and munitions to assist the Royal Saudi Air Force under pre-existing arrangements. We are aware of reports of alleged violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in Yemen by all sides to the conflict and take these very seriously. We have raised our concerns, including protection of cultural property, with the Saudi Arabian government and have received repeated assurances of IHL compliance and continue to engage with them on those assurances. A political solution is the best way to achieve long-term stability in Yemen, and we remain fully and actively supportive of the UN’s efforts to bring an end to the conflict.</p> answering member printed Baroness Evans of Bowes Park question first answered 30/09/2015 15:23:26 answering member 4329 label Biography information for Baroness Evans of Bowes Park
