answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2023 answer text <p>Under the Immigration &amp; Asylum Act 1999, the Home Office has a statutory obligation to house asylum seekers, who would otherwise be destitute, whilst their claim is under consideration. Eligible asylum seekers are ordinarily placed in housing accommodation; however, the unprecedented number of small boat arrivals has forced the Home Office to consider alternative accommodation options to ensure that we meet our statutory obligations, which has resulted in the temporary use of hotels.</p><p>The Home Office is committed to making every effort to reduce hotel use and limit the burden on the taxpayer. This is why we are delivering a range of alternative accommodation sites, maximising hotel space, operationalising the Illegal Migration Act and continuing our hard work to clear the asylum backlog by the end of 2023.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 18/10/2023 12:59:34 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2023 answer text <p>The Government is taking several steps to help ensure that children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) receive an initial assessment for speech and language therapy as quickly as possible following referral. In September 2023, the Department for Education launched 'Early Language Support for Every Child' (ELSEC), with NHS England. ELSEC is a two-year pathfinder programme which will fund innovative workforce models to improve early identification and support for children and young people with speech, language and communication needs within early years and primary school settings. ELSEC will take place in nine sites across England, one in each Change Programme Partnership. It is running across two academic years from September 2023 to August 2025.</p><p>The ELSEC pilots are one of several components of the wider £70 million Change Programme that is testing some of the key reforms set out in the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and Alternative Provision Improvement Plan.</p><p>The Department of Health and Social Care is also working with the Department of Education to take a joint approach to SEND workforce planning in recognition of the demand for specialist services. We have established a steering group to oversee this work and aim to complete it by 2025. To establish the evidence base needed to inform this work, the Department of Health and Social Care published a research specification paper on 19 September 2023, Demand for therapists for children and young people with SEND, through the National Institute for Health and Care Research to help understand the gaps between the supply of therapies and the demand for therapy in children and young people with SEND.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 19/10/2023 08:52:17 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
