uin	205172
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2014 answer text <p>During routine work to add existing records to the store in Diego Garcia, BIOT immigration officials noted water damage to a small number of records, caused by a leaking roof. This is believed to have resulted from extremely heavy weather in June 2014. Although the extent of the damage was not clear on initial inspection at the time, as I said in my answer of 8 July to PQ203500, records from 2002 appeared to be incomplete due to water damage.</p><p>However, since my answer of 8 July, BIOT immigration officials have conducted a fuller inspection, and previously wet paper records have been dried out. They report that no flight records have been lost as a result of the water damage. A small number of immigration arrival cards from 2004 have been damaged, but that information about those flights is still available in the daily occurrence logs and monthly statistics. These records provide dates of aircraft movements in the Territory, and passenger and crew numbers.</p><p>Following the incident, all hard copy records from the affected location are being transferred from the airport to a new location, and will be digitalised over the coming months.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Mark Simmonds question first answered 15/07/2014 09:28:53 answering member 1393 label Biography information for Mark Simmonds

uin	205265
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2014 answer text <p>The Better Care Fund has been set up to ensure considerable local discretion. Each plan is developed by local authorities and clinical commissioning groups before being approved by the local health and wellbeing board, to ensure that it is line with local priorities as articulated in joint health and wellbeing strategies. Local areas also have the discretion to put more money than the minimum allocation into the joint fund if this is in the best interest of the community they serve.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>This is the biggest ever investment in integrated care and it is important that investing in new community-based services does not destabilise existing health and care provision in the short term. The Government has put in place some national conditions – for example protection of social care services, seven day services to support discharge, an accountable lead professional to coordinate care for those at high risk of hospital admissions - as well as a payment for performance element that links payments to achieving good outcomes for local people while sharing financial risk across health and social care commissioners.</p><p> </p><p>Local commissioners, with their partners, are best placed to make decisions about how best to make integrated care a reality in their area. These national conditions are proportionate and allow local discretion whilst ensuring best use of public money to support integrated care for improved outcomes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Norfolk answering member printed Norman Lamb question first answered 15/07/2014 13:29:09 answering member 1439 label Biography information for Norman Lamb
