	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2020 answer text <p>The Department aims to ensure parents have access to a range of affordable childcare, giving them increased flexibility in their working hours and helping children thrive in the crucial early years. The Department is planning to spend more than £3.6 billion to support our early education entitlements in 2020-21.</p><p>All 3-4-year-old children in England are eligible for the universal entitlement to 15 hours a week of early education. The additional 15 hours of early education a week, known as ’30 hours’, is available to families where both parents are working, or the sole parent is working in a lone parent family. To be eligible, each parent in a two-parent family, or the sole parent, must earn less than £100,000 a year and more than the equivalent to 16 hours a week at national minimum wage or national living wage (currently £6,800 a year). This also includes self-employed parents and parents on zero-hour contracts.</p><p> </p><p>All children aged 4 at 31 August in England are entitled to a place in a reception class at school starting that September.</p><p>The Department for Education estimates that in January 2019, 530,000 3-4-year-olds were ineligible for the additional 15 hours due to one or both of their parents earning below the lower income threshold. This is estimated as follows (figures rounded to nearest 10,000):</p><ul><li>There were 1,370,000 children aged 3 or 4 at 31 December 2018.</li><li>410,000 4-year-olds were in a reception place in January 2019.</li><li>A further 410,000 3-4 year-olds were eligible for 30 hours.</li><li>20,000 3-4-year-olds were ineligible for 30 hours due to one of their parents earning over £100,000 per year. This is estimated using the Survey of Personal Incomes publication.</li><li>Therefore we estimate that there are 530,000 3-4-year-olds who are ineligible for 30 hours because their parents do not meet the minimum income requirements. This includes families where one or both parents choose not to or are unable to work.</li></ul><p> </p><p>The Department does not hold information on these estimated 530,000 children separated out as requested in parts a and b of the question.</p><p> </p><p>There is support available for parents with childcare costs outside of the free early education entitlements. Eligible families can get help with 85% of their childcare costs through Universal Credit, subject to a monthly limit of £646 for one child or £1108 for two or more children. Further information can be found at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/what-youll-get" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/what-youll-get</a>. Families can receive help with the costs of childcare from the Tax-Free Childcare scheme.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 14/01/2020 17:37:40 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

We are clear that calls for retaliation or reprisals will lead to more violence in the region, which is in no one’s interest. The Prime Minister has spoken to President Trump, President Rouhani, President Macron, Chancellor Merkel and Prime Minister Abdul-Mahdi in recent days, and will have calls with other leaders in the coming days to encourage de-escalation. ​</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 14/01/2020 17:05:54 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

Our Green Paper on transforming children and young people’s mental health provision has the potential to significantly improve early intervention and prevention, which can help prevent problems continuing into or developing in adulthood.</p><p>The Government recognise that poor body image is a common problem and in most extreme cases can lead to eating disorders. This is why the Government has delivered a broad programme on body image which has included work with the advertising industry to develop young peoples’ ability to evaluate the images and messages they encounter in the media.</p><p>As part of the NHS Long Term Plan’s investment of an extra £2.3 billion a year by 2023/24, eating disorder services for all ages are being ramped-up across the country. This Government has invested £150 million over five years since 2014, to expand eating disorder community-based care for children and young people and we have seen positive results, with an increase in the total number receiving effective treatment in the community from around 5,000 in 2016/17 to over 7,500 in 2018/19.

Methods of counting activity in mental health services are different between the two data sets. The changes in numbers reported therefore reflect changes in the data set.

Of the people in contact with these services on 31 October 2018, for example, a diagnosis was recorded for only 22.3% of people. Therefore, the number of people with a primary reason for referral of 'eating disorders' for 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19 is provided, rather a count of people diagnosed with an eating disorder.</p><p>- There is a year-on-year increase in the number of providers submitting to the MHSDS, with 85 submitting data in April 2016, 108 in March 2018, and then 171 in March 2019. Therefore, the figures shown, including for 2018/19, are known to be incomplete at England level.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 14/01/2020 15:37:54 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
