People are advised to visit their general practitioner (GP) with new or existing moles that have changed in shape or colour. If the GP suspects a mole is cancerous, a two week suspected cancer referral will be made. Depending on the outcome, the mole may be surgically removed. The NHS does not routinely provide mole removal for cosmetic reasons.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 07/06/2023 16:08:18 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

AMAPs aim to reflect running costs including fuel, servicing and depreciation. Depreciation is estimated to constitute the most significant proportion of the AMAPs.</p><p> </p><p>Employers, including the NHS, are not required to use the AMAPs. Instead, they can agree to reimburse the actual cost incurred, where individuals can provide evidence of the expenditure, without an Income Tax or National Insurance charge arising.</p><p> </p><p>Alternatively, they can choose to pay a different mileage rate that is higher or lower than AMAPs. However, if the payment exceeds the amount due under AMAPs, and this results in a profit for the individual, they will be liable to pay Income Tax and National Insurance contributions on the difference.</p><p> </p><p>The Government keeps this policy under review.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 22/06/2022 13:42:19 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

This is why the Government invests heavily in supporting disabled people who are both in and out of work through the welfare system.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is helping people with the rising cost of energy bills by providing financial support worth £550 to most households. Households with a domestic electricity meter will receive a universal rebate of £400 through the Energy Bills Support Scheme. In addition to this, English households living in Council Tax Bands A-D are receiving a £150 rebate. None of this has to be repaid.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is providing further support for vulnerable households, through the Warm Home Discount of £150 for up to 3m people, and the continuation of Winter Fuel Payments and Cold Weather Payments.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also offering an automatic one-off £150 disability cost of living payment to individuals in receipt of non-means tested disability benefits, paid by September.</p><p> </p><p>The Government continues to support vulnerable groups through NHS services. The additional funding announced at the Spending Review, made possible by the new Health and Social Care Levy, means that the NHS resource budget will increase to over £160 billion in 2024-25.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2022 answer text <p>The Chancellor confirmed at Spring Budget 2021 that the Government will remove the entitlement to use red diesel for most uses from April 2022, other than for defined agricultural purposes and a limited number of other uses. This will help to ensure fairness between the different users of diesel fuels and that the tax system incentivises the development and adoption of greener alternative technologies.</p><p> </p><p>Agricultural vehicles will be entitled to run on rebated fuel after April 2022 for purposes relating to agriculture, horticulture, forestry and fish farming. They will also be able to use rebated fuel when cutting verges and hedges that border a road, clearing snow, gritting, and clearing or otherwise dealing with flooding.</p><p> </p><p>The activities accepted as purposes relating to agriculture, horticulture and forestry are defined in HMRC Excise Notice 75. As agricultural shows and ploughing matches provide information and education that benefits agricultural purposes, the Government considers that running or participating in these activities are purposes relating to agriculture, for which rebated fuel may be used in qualifying vehicles and machines, and will be updating Excise Notice 75 accordingly. Rebated fuel can also be used to travel to and from where the vehicles or machines are to be used for these activities.c</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately grouped question UIN 132256 question first answered 07/03/2022 08:21:09 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
