NHS England will develop evidence based treatment pathways across mental health services over the next five years in line with the recommendations of the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health. NHS England is working with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health to ensure that each pathway is fully informed by the available evidence and the views of experts by experience.<\/p>

The National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health is developing a pathway for adults with eating disorders, together with detailed implementation guidance for providers, over 2017/18.<\/p>

Exit is an all-of-government operation. The Department for Exiting the European Union is undertaking detailed work with departments to prepare for the upcoming negotiations by understanding the risks and opportunities of leaving the EU and coordinating planning.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Staff in my Department continue to work closely with officials in the Department for Exiting the European Union. Indeed, a large contingent of Cabinet Office staff formed the basis of the new Department\u2019s workforce when it was created last year.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Members of staff across the Department also provide advice and analysis on EU Exit issues as required.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

But given the interactions between EU exit work and the Department\u2019s other priorities, it would not be possible to give an accurate figure.<\/p>

National statistics on the number of children in relative low income are set out in the annual "Households Below Average Income" publication. The number and proportion of children in relative low income is not available at local authority or constituency level in this publication because the survey sample sizes are too small to support the production of robust estimates at this geography.<\/p>

Latest 3-year estimates for Wales of the proportion of children in low income are available in Table 4.16ts in the file \u201c4_children_timeseries_risk\u201d from this link:<\/p>

Widening access to higher education (HE) is a priority for this Government, and everyone with the talent and potential to succeed in HE should have the opportunity to do so, regardless of their background. Good progress has been made, with 18 year olds from disadvantaged backgrounds 43% more likely to go to university now than in 2009, but we want to do more.<\/p>

That is why we continue to push for improvement in these areas. Through the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, the Office for Students will have a statutory duty to promote equality of opportunity in access and participation for all students. The Act introduces a Transparency Duty that will require HE institutions to publish data on the access and success of certain groups of students. Greater transparency will push universities to build on what has already been achieved.<\/p>

Our guidance to the Director for Fair Access in 2016 asked him to encourage institutions to make more effort in the area of recruiting more mature learners and this is reflected in guidance to institutions on access agreements. We are removing barriers to the growth of accelerated courses, which particularly appeal to mature students.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is listening to the sector\u2019s concerns about Brexit and has taken action to provide greater certainty. We have announced that EU students starting their courses in the academic year 18/19 or before will continue to be eligible for student loans and home fee status for the duration of their course.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4039", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Orpington"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Joseph Johnson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-07-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-07-19T11:44:25.97Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-07-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Universities: Admissions"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the fall in the number of (a) overall applications, (b) mature student applications and (c) EU student applications to UK universities for the 2017-18 academic year.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/465", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gordon Marsden"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Blackpool South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Gordon Marsden"} ], "uin" : "4904"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/751742", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/751742/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government is committed to maintaining the UK\u2019s world class higher education system while living within its means and ensuring all those with the talent to benefit from a higher education can afford to do so. To put higher education funding onto a more sustainable footing, the Government asked future graduates to meet more of the costs of their studies through replacing maintenance grants with loans.<\/p>

Tuition fees will not increase in real terms and Higher Education and publicly funded institutions will remain free at the point of access for those who are eligible, as tuition fee loans will increase to cover increased tuition fees.<\/p>

In practice, the people who are affected by the decision to charge an interest rate of up to RPI+3% are those high-earning borrowers who pay back all, or very nearly all, their student loans; many of those who do not fully pay back their loans will see this part of their loan balance written off.<\/p>

<\/p>

Freezing the repayment threshold enabled the Government to abolish student number controls \u2013 lifting the cap on aspiration and enabling more people to realise their potential.<\/p>

<\/p>

To deliver more nurses and other health professionals for the NHS, a better funding system for healthcare students, and a sustainable model for universities, the funding system and financial support offered to most undergraduate nursing, midwifery and allied health professional students is being changed. From 1 August 2017, new undergraduate students will receive tuition fee loans and, for full-time courses, living costs support, administered by the Student Loans Company, rather than NHS bursaries.<\/p>

<\/p>

Entry to nursing, midwifery and allied health profession remains competitive, with a ratio of nearly two applicants per nurse training place. Health Education England commissioned 23,285 nursing and midwifery places for the 2016/17 academic year. The overall numbers of applicants to English providers from all domiciles is 44,160 as of the June 2017 UCAS deadline. Health Education England therefore remain confident that they will be able to fill the number of training places required to meet NHS workforce requirements and are working with the university sector to support student recruitment in 2017/18.<\/p>

The apprenticeship levy will enable us to fund the step change needed to achieve 3 million quality apprenticeship starts in England by 2020, providing more opportunities for people of all ages to begin or further develop their careers.<\/p>

<\/p>

As an employer-led programme, employers must be able to make decisions on recruitment to meet their skills needs.<\/p>

<\/p>

To ensure young people have access to apprenticeships we are providing £1,000 to both employers and training providers when they take on 16 to 18 year olds or 19 to 24 year olds who were in care or who have an Education and Health Care Plan.<\/p>

<\/p>

To support and grow apprenticeships amongst smaller employers who do not pay the levy, we are providing generous co-investment support and extending this to 100% support for the smallest employers taking on younger apprentices.<\/p>
