answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2024 answer text <p>The Government is committed to raising the healthiest generation of children. The child health workforce, including health visitors, is central to how we support all families to give their child the best start in life. Their contact with parents, carers, and children of all ages provides vital advice and support and helps ensure that health and development needs are identified early, including those children with special educational needs and disabilities.</p><p>We are committed to training the staff we need to ensure people, their carers, and their families are cared for by the right professional, when and where they need it. We will want to assure ourselves, and the National Health Service, that the current workforce plan will deliver the reform needed. We will need to do this in light of the 10-Year Health Plan.</p> answering member constituency Gorton and Denton answering member printed Andrew Gwynne question first answered 05/11/2024 15:30:51 answering member 1506 label Biography information for Andrew Gwynne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2024 answer text <p>Public notices are important for ensuring that the public is kept informed of decisions made by their council which may affect their quality of life, local services or amenities, or their property. The independent 2019 Cairncross Review into sustainable journalism found that public notices are also an important source of revenue for local newspapers. However, the Government is aware of feedback from some sectors about the audience reach of these notices and the desire for greater digitalisation. In this context, the sector’s Public Notice Portal is a welcome innovation, intended to take advantage of print publishers’ growing digital audiences and provide a centralised resource for all types of public notice. We are monitoring the progress of the Portal, and the effect that it has on the audience reach of public notices.</p> answering member constituency Barnsley South answering member printed Stephanie Peacock question first answered 29/10/2024 14:51:17 answering member 4607 label Biography information for Stephanie Peacock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2024 answer text <p>The Department for Transport conducted roadside trials of noise camera technology between October 2022 and February 2023. Reports of these trials, including detailed assessment of the technology’s performance and potential merits, were published on 17 March 2024. Overall, the trials demonstrated that noise cameras currently have the potential to be used for enforcement, but only when accompanied by human review of the recorded evidence, which is likely to lower the cost effectiveness of deploying the technology in many circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>It is ultimately for local authorities and the police to consider what the most appropriate enforcement routes may be for addressing issues with excessive vehicle noise within their area. The use of noise camera technology has already been taken forward by some local authorities.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Nottingham South answering member printed Lilian Greenwood question first answered 25/10/2024 08:55:54 answering member 4029 label Biography information for Lilian Greenwood
