Improving health and wellbeing and reducing health inequalities are not just the preserve of the health system. Most Government Departments can have a significant impact on population health and wellbeing. Being in quality employment, having warm homes, access to green space and safe roads are just some of the wider determinants of health where other government departments have potential to impact on societal health and wellbeing.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4545", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord O'Shaughnessy"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-12-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-12-14T14:42:50.473Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-12-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Public Health: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government, following comments by Mr Brian Ferguson, Chief Economist of Public Health England, in his blog Investing in prevention: the need to make the case now, what (1) amount, and (2) proportion, of each ministerial departmental budget was (a) allocated to, and (b) spent on, preventive activities in each of the last five years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4564", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Bird"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Bird"} ], "uin" : "HL3811"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/800426", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/800426/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Department for Communities and Local Government is working closely with the Department of Health on how we improve access to mental health services for rough sleepers, or those at risk of homelessness in England. The Government has committed over £1 billion until 2020 to local authorities to reduce homelessness and rough sleeping and has supported the Homelessness Reduction Act \u2013 due to commence in April 2018. The Act will ensure that people who are in need of assistance get the support they need before becoming homeless.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government is also supporting 84 projects, some specifically funding mental health interventions, across 205 district and unitary local authorities in England through its £50 million Homelessness Prevention Programme offering tailored support services for people who need it and rapid support for people to make a sustainable recovery from homelessness.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has also set an aim to halve rough sleeping by 2022 and eliminate it entirely by 2027. We are setting up a rough sleeping and homelessness taskforce and piloting a Housing First approach to tackle rough sleeping.<\/p>
<\/p>
We expect local authorities, NHS England and clinical commissioning groups to all play a crucial role in achieving this. NHS England has published guidance, People Who Are Homeless: How to register with a doctor (GP)<\/em>, for general practices and patients to ensure that homeless patients are still able to access primary care services. A copy is attached. Public Health England\u2019s online only guidance Improving health through the home<\/em> provides a single point of access to wide-ranging authoritative information on data, evaluation, evidence and research related to homelessness to support providers and commissioners, such as good practice prompts for commissioning for homeless people with drug or alcohol problems.<\/p>"}

Prices and fee rates paid by commissioners to provider organisations must reflect these new duties.<\/p> <\/p> The Department published the online only Care and Support statutory guidance setting out how councils should meet these new duties when commissioning, including the consideration of the actual costs of care and support when negotiating fee levels. The level of fees charged to a self-funder is a private contractual arrangement.<\/p> <\/p> The Competition and Market Authority\u2019s (CMA) market study into care homes, published on 30 November 2017, raises some complex and important issues for the care home market. Government will publish a formal response to the CMA report within 90 days and will take forward these complex issues as part of the Green Paper on adult social care which will be published in summer 2018.<\/p>"}
