answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2024 answer text <p>The UK, alongside the G20 and Paris Club, expects creditors, including private creditors, to participate in debt restructurings on comparable terms. This is a fundamental principle of the G20 Common Framework.</p><p> </p><p>At this stage, the Government is not pursuing legislative approaches, such as those outlined in the cited briefing paper, to ensure comparability of treatment. The Government is focused on delivering enhancements to the market-based (contractual) approach to private sector participation in debt treatments, including taking the lead in developing Majority Voting Provisions for private syndicated loans. These promote more efficient restructurings by reducing the ability for creditors to hold out in restructurings.</p> answering member constituency Hitchin and Harpenden answering member printed Bim Afolami question first answered 23/02/2024 14:34:24 answering member 4639 label Biography information for Bim Afolami

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2024 answer text <p>We are deeply concerned about the prospect of a military offensive in Rafah. Over half of Gaza's population are sheltering in the area, and the Rafah crossing is vital to ensure aid can reach the people who so desperately need it. The Prime Minister pressed this in his engagement with Prime Minister Netanyahu on 15 February.</p><p>The immediate priority must be a humanitarian pause in the fighting, which is the best route to secure the safe release of hostages and significantly step up the aid reaching Gaza. We want that pause to lead to a sustainable ceasefire without a return to further fighting.</p><p>The vital elements for a lasting peace are the release of all hostages; the formation of a new Palestinian Government for the West Bank and Gaza, accompanied by an international support package; removing Hamas's capacity to launch attacks against Israel; Hamas no longer being in charge of Gaza; and a political horizon which provides a credible and irreversible pathway towards a two-state solution.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 23/02/2024 13:09:10 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2024 answer text <p>Whilst no such assessment has been made, we are investing at least an additional £2.3 billion a year as part of the NHS Long Term Plan, to expand and transform National Health Service mental health services by 2023/24, compared to 2018/19. This will allow an extra two million people to get the NHS-funded mental health support they need.</p><p>NHS Talking Therapies, formerly the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme, began in 2008 and has been expanding ever since, with over one million people now accessing NHS Talking Therapies services each year, and national waiting time standards consistently being delivered. NHS Talking Therapies offer National Institute for Health and Care Excellence approved psychological and talking therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, to help with common mental health problems like stress, anxiety and depression. People can self-refer directly to an NHS Talking Therapies service, or their general practice can refer them.</p><p> </p><p>The Spring Budget 2023 contained a package of over £400 million to support the long-term sick and disabled to remain in, or enter, employment. This includes approximately £200 million for digital mental health, to modernise NHS Talking Therapies services in England, provide free access to wellness and clinical mental health apps to the population, and pilot cutting edge digital therapies.</p><p> </p><p>The Autumn Statement in 2023 announced £592 million of new funding to continue the expansion of NHS Talking Therapies over the next five years. The funding is intended to both increase the number of people who can access the service by 384,000 over the next five years, and increase the average number of therapy sessions each person can access, to improve quality and outcomes. This will be underpinned by recruitment and retention initiatives to ensure sufficient capacity and skills mix in the NHS Talking Therapies workforce.</p><p> </p><p>Access to good occupational health services is incredibly important, and NHS England published a strategy to grow occupational health and wellbeing, setting out a roadmap for the NHS and partners over the next five years to develop and invest in occupational health and wellbeing services.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 27/02/2024 11:50:02 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
