answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2023 answer text <p>The Health and Care Act 2022 set up systems and structures to reform how health and adult social care work together by putting partnership at the heart of planning. Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for producing a five year joint forward plan with their partner trusts, foundation trusts, local authorities and other members. This plan should have regard to the integrated care strategy produced by the integrated care partnership (ICP). We are aware of 35 integrated care strategies that have been produced by ICPs in England.</p><p>We committed in the integration white paper ‘joining up care for people and places’ to review, and where necessary simplify, pooled budget arrangements to promote further integrated funding arrangements. This review is underway.</p><p>In July 2022 statutory integrated care systems (ICS) Strategy Guidance recommended ICSs take forward joint workforce planning with Local Authorities as a next step to integrated workforces.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 02/03/2023 16:27:12 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

This framework sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these should be applied, including explicit recommendations for local authorities to foster a well-designed and safe built environment, with accessible services, open spaces, access to healthier food and appropriate facilities to encourage healthy lifestyles. The Government has also introduced cumulative impact assessments as a tool for licensing authorities to limit the growth of licensed premises in a problem area.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 02/03/2023 16:34:02 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2023 answer text <p>We recognise that the ability to speak English is key to helping refugees integrate into life in England, as well as to breaking down barriers to work and career progression. Home Office officials explored an early intensive language offer as part of a wider investigation into English language support for refugees. Exploration of the intensive offer was paused to avoid duplication with the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) for Integration Fund (EFIF) launched by the Department for Levelling Up in August 2020. EFIF supported one of the key commitments in the 2018 Integrated Communities Strategy Green Paper by supporting individuals to be able to meaningfully integrate and participate in society boosting English language proficiency. The programme trialled a new approach to funding ESOL, adopting a localised place-based design, providing community-based English language sessions, social mixing clubs and activities to individuals with little or no English.</p><p> </p><p>In the same period, the Home Office funded the development of English language teaching resources to support refugees with their early integration.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 02/03/2023 16:22:07 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2023 answer text <p>No assessment is planned at this time. Fees will remain below £120 per year meaning that the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) has the lowest fees of any of the United Kingdom healthcare professional regulators. The fee rise is equivalent to an increase of just over £1.60 per month before tax for most of HCPC’s registrants. Registration fees are tax-deductible. In recognition of the difficult circumstances registrants are facing, alongside the fee rise the HCPC also committed to implementing a series of mitigation measures.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 02/03/2023 16:35:05 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2023 answer text <p>We are aware of the research carried out by the eating disorder charity Beat which estimates that one in four people living with an eating disorder in the United Kingdom are thought to be male, and the majority of those who took part in that research felt that raising awareness would help more men to get treatment sooner.</p><p>Eating disorders are serious, life-threatening conditions that can affect people of any age, gender, ethnicity or background. We know that people with eating disorders can face stigma around their disorder, which can stop them from reaching out for help and support. To support early identification, the Government recognises that raising awareness and reducing the stigma associated with eating disorders and other mental health conditions is paramount. It is good to see Parliamentarians playing an important part in raising awareness of eating disorders in men through the debates and questions in both Houses this week, which is National Eating Disorders week.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 02/03/2023 16:05:20 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

uin	153780
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2023 answer text <p>We are unable to answer this question within cost limits.</p><p>By providing opportunities to work, learn and build family ties, temporary release from prison helps ensure offenders don't return to crime when they leave prison. Evidence shows the vast majority abide by their temporary release conditions, with the compliance rate standing at well over 99%. Non-compliance is, and will continue to be, dealt with robustly.</p><p>Prisoners wishing to marry in prison must apply to the prison governor for permission. The governor will make a decision based on a risk assessment of the prisoner and proposed venue. Depending on risk factors, the application may be refused, or the prisoner may be given permission to marry either in prison, outside the establishment under a security escort, or outside the establishment on ROTL.</p><p>Only Category D prisoners are routinely allowed to marry outside a prison and the prisoner must meet all associated costs of a marriage ceremony or civil partnership registration.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds grouped question UIN 153781 153783 question first answered 02/03/2023 16:31:18 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
