This includes working with the Local Government Association to provide guidance on how local councils can tackle loneliness and providing a space for organisations to share resources on the Tackling Loneliness Hub.</p><p>The Levelling Up White Paper set out ambitions to improve wellbeing and pride in place across the country.

Link workers connect people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support. Social prescribing can work well for those who are socially isolated or whose wellbeing is being impacted by non-medical issues.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 14/03/2023 17:00:31 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2023 answer text <p>The current average time to make a licensing decision in cases where the driving licence applicant has declared a medical condition is 81.18 working days. This figure includes new applications, notifications and renewals for both Group 1 (cars and motorcycles) and Group 2 (HGV and bus) drivers. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)’s business plan target is to make a licensing decision within 90 working days in 90 per cent of cases for applications received from October 2022.</p><p> </p><p>On 31 January the DVLA was dealing with 139,238 driving licence applications where a medical condition must be investigated before a licence can be issued. In 78,124 of these cases, the DVLA is awaiting information from third parties (including NHS health care professionals or the customer themselves) before any further action can be taken.</p><p> </p><p>The length of time taken to deal with an application depends on the medical condition(s) involved and whether further information is required before a decision on whether to issue a licence can be made. It is important to note that the majority of applicants renewing an existing licence will be able to continue driving while their application is being processed, providing they have not been told not to drive by a doctor or optician.</p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 07/02/2023 12:50:04 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden
