answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>Responsibility for local authority funding lies with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC).</p><p>Local authorities have a statutory responsibility to assess whether children and young people have special educational needs that require an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. EHC plans must be issued within twenty weeks of the needs assessment commencing so that children and young people can access the support they need.</p><p>In 2022, 49.2% of EHC plans were issued within the twenty week time limit. Where local authorities are failing to deliver, the department works with them using a range of improvement programmes and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) specialist advisers to address weaknesses. The department is also putting in place measures such as developing new national standards and a standardised EHC plan process to improve the SEND system so that, where an EHC plan is needed, they can be issued as quickly as possible to ensure children and young people can access the support they need.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed David Johnston question first answered 13/05/2024 16:33:30 answering member 4761 label Biography information for David Johnston

This is alongside wider work to improve psychosocial support for people affected by cancer, such as through local partnerships with cancer support charities.</p><p>NHS England and the integrated care boards are responsible for commissioning and ensuring that the healthcare needs of local communities in England are met, including for cancer patients. NHS England provides access to a personal health budget, which is an amount of National Health Service money that is allocated to support the health and wellbeing needs of a patient, if eligible.
