answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2024 answer text <p>In April we published the response to the call for evidence on domestic customers with non-domestic contracts, aiming to understand the advantages and disadvantages of these arrangements. The responses revealed the complexity of energy supply and contract arrangements, including there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Due to the physical set-up of multiple-dwelling developments, most consumers will remain on non-domestic contracts and will not have individual meters. The Department and Ofgem are addressing some concerns, including raising awareness of the Maximum Resale Price Protection to increase compliance. We will continue engaging stakeholders to determine if further action is necessary.</p> answering member constituency Derby North answering member printed Amanda Solloway question first answered 16/05/2024 08:34:03 answering member 4372 label Biography information for Amanda Solloway

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2024 answer text <p>NHS England is leading the reconfiguration of children’s cancer services for South London and South East England. At a meeting on 14 March 2024, NHS England confirmed their decision that the Principal Treatment Centre should be located at Evelina London Children’s Hospital.</p><p>NHS England’s financial impact assessment for the reconfiguration confirmed that the future Principal Treatment Centre would use a £20 million national capital contribution from NHS England, plus a contribution from their local health commissioners of between approximately £11 million to £14 million. The Evelina London option would also use £10 million of grant funding from the trust charity.</p><p>NHS England has made clear that as the future provider develops its outline business case and full business case, it will need to continue to demonstrate affordability with mitigations in place for associated risks. These business cases will require NHS England and the Department’s Joint Investment sub-Committee’s approval, before contractor procurement and construction, ahead of the Principal Treatment Centre becoming operational in October 2026.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 20/03/2024 09:59:24 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2024 answer text <p>The Government is committed to improving life choices and opportunities for disabled people in their private lives, in their communities and in employment. We want everyone, including people of restricted growth, to live their lives free from discrimination and harassment.</p><p>The Equality Act 2010 may protect people of restricted growth on the grounds of disability, depending on the particular circumstances. The 2010 Act defines disability as “a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on a person’s ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities”. An employer or a service provider is required to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that disabled people are not put at a substantial disadvantage compared to non-disabled people.</p><p>On 5 February 2024 we published the final Disability Action Plan together with the independent analysis of the consultation findings. The Disability Action Plan sets out 32 practical actions in 14 different areas which the government will take forward over the next 12 months, with disabled people, disabled people’s organisations, and other government departments and public service providers, to improve disabled people’s daily lives, as well as laying the foundations for longer term change.</p><p>Any disabled person who may have been personally discriminated against in employment or provision of services because of a disability may contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS), the government helpline established to provide free bespoke advice and in-depth support to individuals with discrimination concerns. The EASS can be contacted via their website at <a href="http://www.equalityadvisoryservice.com/" target="_blank">www.equalityadvisoryservice.com/</a>, or by telephone on 0808 8000082.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 18/03/2024 16:42:31 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2023 answer text <p>By the end of March 2024, approximately £5 million will have been spent on Arms-Length Body (ALB) overhead fees under the Blue Planet Fund’s Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP). This represents 22 percent of their allocated budget to deliver OCPP. The percentage of ALB spend that has been attributed to overhead costs has decreased each year of the programme, and we expect this trend to continue as more in-country partners are onboarded to carry out delivery.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 14/12/2023 17:28:11 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
