tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
uin	HL6116
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2023 answer text <p>Information relating to representations made on this matter by different Departments and agencies is not held centrally. In 2021, the Government implemented temporary tariff suspensions on a set of goods, including urine drainage bags, to support the healthcare response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Government has extended the majority of these suspensions until 31 December 2023. We have recently received stakeholder feedback on tariffs on urine drainage bags and are considering the evidence provided alongside wider United Kingdom Government analysis.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 17/03/2023 14:13:48 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they are taking steps to ensure that where there is a lack of evidence about the most suitable interventions for looked after children, those at risk of entering care, adopted children, and care leavers, the use of resources such as personal budgets and the post-adoption support fund is monitored and evaluated, and, where possible, that interventions purchased are subject to a suitably designed research trial.
tabling member printed	Lord McColl of Dulwich
uin	HL6116
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2018 answer text <p>Personal health budgets and the Adoption Support Fund (ASF) are generally used for interventions that are not universally offered or commissioned locally, offering access to support that would not ordinarily be available to meet the child’s needs.</p><p> </p><p>The use of personal health budgets for looked after children and young people is being piloted and independently evaluated. The evaluation includes assessment of the benefits of personal health budgets, including impact on mental health outcomes. Regular reviews also take place at an individual level to ensure the support provided continues to meet the child’s needs.</p><p> </p><p>An independent evaluation of the ASF was published in August 2017, which can be found attached. The government gave a commitment, in ‘Adoption: a vision for change’, also attached, to strengthen the evidence base of ‘what works’ in terms of preventative and therapeutic adoption support. The department is currently exploring ways to achieve this, including through use of the findings of a new independent evaluation of the ASF, monitoring the impact of the fund for children, families, local authorities and providers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton attachment 1 file name HL6115 HL6116 Attachment 1.pdf title Adoption Support Fund Evaluation 2 file name HL6115 HL6116 Attachment 2.pdf title Adoption Support Fund Evaluation Appendix 3 file name HL6115 HL6116 Attachment 3.pdf title Adoption: A Vision for Change grouped question UIN HL6115 question first answered 20/03/2018 17:41:54 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the advice given to higher education providers regarding widening participation, and the minimum threshold qualifications that students are required to have before being accepted on a degree course.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL6116
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2017 answer text <p>Higher education institutions are independent and autonomous. As autonomous organisations, higher education providers are responsible for their own admissions policies and procedures. Decisions on who to admit are a matter for individual institutions, and the Government does not have the right to intervene in these internal processes. Higher education providers are best placed to determine their entry requirements, and to decide who has the ability and the potential to succeed on a particular course.</p><p>Providers wishing to charge above the basic fee amount must have an access agreement, agreed by the independent Director for Fair Access, which sets out the measures they will put in place to support access to, and participation in, higher education by disadvantaged students and under-represented groups. The Director for Fair Access issues annual guidance to institutions on strategic priorities for access agreements. The Director for Fair Access must have regard to guidance issued by the Government setting out its expectations on the areas that institutions should focus on. In 2017/18, institutions plan to spend £833 million through their access agreements.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 29/03/2017 14:48:32 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of recent studies of driver impairment after drinking alcohol, and whether those studies support the current alcohol limit for drivers.
tabling member printed	Lord Rea
uin	HL6116
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2016 answer text <p>Sir Peter North’s 2010 Review of drink and drug driving made an assessment of various studies. The Coalition Government responded in March 2011 by setting out its position on maintaining the current limit. This Government agrees with that assessment and we do not believe any further studies have provided sufficient evidence to change that position. There are therefore no plans to change the current laws.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL6114 question first answered 24/02/2016 12:20:04 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
