answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2016 answer text <p>The Department has not issued guidance to social landlords including local authorities, regarding managing tenancy agreements of victims of domestic violence who are joint tenants when the abusive partner moves out.</p><p>Local authorities have powers to take action against joint tenants who commit domestic abuse against their partners including a power under the Housing Act 1985 to apply to the court to evict such perpetrators and have the discretion to grant a new tenancy to the victim.</p><p>Many local authorities use these powers as part of their proactive approach towards assisting tenants affected by domestic abuse to remain in their homes safely if they choose to do so.</p><p>Domestic abuse is a devastating crime, and Government has put in place a number of measures to provide necessary support to victims.</p><p>Our Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy, launched earlier this year, set out our ambition to improve services for women suffering from domestic abuse, dedicating £40 million of extra funding for securing the future of refuges and other specialist accommodation-based services. This builds on the £13.5 million provided in the last spending review period. In addition, we will be providing a wider package of support, including commissioning guidance and tools, and expert support to help all local areas improve local commissioning, support early intervention and develop coherent pathways of support for victims of these crimes. This provides a critical bedrock of support.</p><p>In taking forward the provisions in the Housing and Planning Act 2016 that restrict the use of lifetime tenancies, we will also ensure that the security of tenure of victims of domestic abuse continues to be protected.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 28/10/2016 13:36:37 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell

uin	48113
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2016 answer text <p>Cancer services for teenagers and young adults are delivered by a network of Principle Treatment Centres and Designated Hospitals, commissioned centrally by NHS England. Services include:</p><p> </p><p>- All cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy;</p><p>- Specialist palliative care services;</p><p>- Survivorship;</p><p>- Long-term follow up; and</p><p>- Specialist therapies and rehabilitation.</p><p> </p><p>Cancer services for teenagers and young adults reflect the unique needs of this age group. The delivery of care is arranged similarly to adult services, but there are important differences including the delivery of care in an age-appropriate environment and multi-disciplinary teams include social workers, youth workers, and activity coordinators.</p><p> </p><p>Services also support teenagers and young adults with the late effects of cancer treatment which particularly affect this age group. Because cancer is a rare condition in this age range, teenage and young adult services work very closely with other agencies to deliver emotional, psychosocial and specialist therapies to support each teenager and young adult to maximise their physical, emotional, cognitive, social and functional potential.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 19/10/2016 14:52:55 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat
