uin	24827
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/05/2024 answer text <p>The Government has evaluated the public benefit and value for money each Freeport will deliver through the competitive process for selecting Freeport locations and subsequently through a robust business case process. Once approved, these business cases, including details of the benefits the Freeport will deliver, are published online. To ensure Freeports are delivering these returns to the UK and Scottish economies, the Government is also monitoring and evaluating their delivery; our approach is <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/freeports-monitoring-and-evaluation-strategy/freeports-programme-monitoring-and-evaluation-strategy&amp;data=05|02|Parliamentary@levellingup.gov.uk|c90d8687d014483f511008dc6f53d125|bf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8|0|0|638507652987379116|Unknown|TWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0=|0|||&amp;sdata=LIpK6YNtJPVVzXahMaj/x/hi/J2rIgeBeJkeLjlPf7I=&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">published here</a>.</p><p>This allows us to identify the impacts Freeports are already having: for example, we announced in November 2023 that Freeports have already generated £2.9 billion in investment in under two years, which will in turn create 6,000 jobs. It also enables us to monitor the suitability of the Freeports package and identify opportunities to enhance and double down on it. For example, we have recently extended the tax reliefs in Freeports from five to ten years and launched a £150 million flexible Investment Opportunity Fund to secure specific business investment opportunities.</p> answering member constituency Redcar answering member printed Jacob Young grouped question UIN 24826 24828 question first answered 10/05/2024 07:07:25 answering member 4825 label Biography information for Jacob Young

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>Prison governors are responsible for ensuring that their establishments respond promptly and appropriately to medical emergencies, and all prison staff must be aware of their responsibilities for responding to a medical emergency (including resuscitation, and ligature removal) and of the local procedures in place to support a streamlined response.</p><p>Responses to medical emergencies in prisons are undertaken, and monitored, locally by both prison and healthcare staff, and vary in the degree of seriousness and the level of medical intervention that is required.</p><p>The time and type (‘Code Blue’ / ‘Code Red’) of a medical emergency is recorded by prison service staff when it is reported to them by telephone or via radio, and this will initiate a response which will include on-site NHS-commissioned healthcare staff and/or first-aid trained prison staff. Staff will assess what intervention is needed and determine whether hospital treatment is required.</p><p>Prison staff will arrange for an ambulance to attend, if needed, and escort it to the nearest, safest point of access to the patient. Arrival and departure times of ambulances are recorded locally. All such instances, including response times, are discussed between prison and healthcare staff. Depending on the seriousness of the emergency, this will be either as part of a full debrief or, on the following day, as part of the regular daily reflection on the previous day’s occurrences.</p><p>While arrival and departure times of ambulances are recorded by prisons, the responsibility for their response times lies with the NHS, and, therefore, any questions related to this element of emergency responses should be directed to the Department for Health and Social Care.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 13/05/2024 08:53:39 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
