This is a devolved issue and the information provided relates to England only.
Repairing and replacing leaking pipes is critical to maintaining a clean, safe and relia-ble supply of drinking water to homes and businesses.<\/p>
It is for companies to decide how to maintain their infrastructure. Information on com-panies\u2019 works is normally available on companies\u2019 website, including details of the work and expected timescales.<\/p>
However, water companies in England, along with all utility companies, are required to apply for a permit from the relevant highway authority before planned works can begin, and within 2 hours of being on site for emergency works. This allows the au-thority to coordinate all works and minimise disruption to the public.<\/p>
Information on live and planned works is now streamed real-time through the DfT\u2019s Street Manager digital service.<\/p>

<\/p>
The 2021 Spending Review set the largest annual block grants, in real terms, of any spending review settlement since the devolution Acts. Those settlements are still growing in real terms this year, and over the three-year spending review period, despite inflation being higher than expected.<\/p>
<\/p>
This provides the devolved administrations with over 20% more funding per person than equivalent UK Government spending in other parts of the UK. This is around 25% more for the Scottish Government and around 20% more for the Welsh Government and NI Executive. It is for the devolved administrations to decide how to allocate their funding in devolved areas.<\/p>
<\/p>
Like many countries, the UK faces the twin challenge of a recession and high inflation as global energy price rises have been exacerbated by Putin\u2019s war in Ukraine. The Government has set out its plan to halve inflation over the course of this year by remaining steadfast in support for the independent Monetary Policy Committee at the Bank of England, making difficult but responsible decisions on tax and spending to not add fuel to the fire, and by tackling high energy prices by holding down energy bills for households and businesses this year and next and investing in long-term energy security.<\/p>"}

In line with the NHS People Plan, published in July 2020, there is a strong focus within the NHS on staff health and wellbeing. This includes providing ongoing physical and mental health support including targeting psychological support and treatment for those most affected, retaining staff who have come back into the NHS to help provide additional capacity and strengthening the role for occupational health to move from a reactive service delivery model to a more integrated, preventative partner.<\/p>"}

The High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) is charged on an individual rather than a household basis, in line with other tax policy. It applies to Child Benefit recipients who have, or whose partner has, an adjusted net income (ANI) of £50,000 regardless of family makeup.<\/p>
It would not be practical for HMRC to increase the threshold for single-income families only, as it would require HMRC to operate two parallel income thresholds. This would further complicate the tax system for families, would not ensure consistency between claimants, and would entail a significant operational burden for HMRC. Tax simplification is a priority for this Government.<\/p>"}

We remain committed to investing in expanding and transforming National Health Service mental health services in England by at least £2.3 billion a year by 2023/24 as set out in the NHS Long Term Plan. This will allow an additional two million people, including 345,000 children and young people, to get the mental health support they need, such as a diagnosis for bipolar disorder. We aim to increase the mental health workforce by an additional 27,000 healthcare professionals by 2023/24 to support this expansion and transformation of services.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England has consulted on the potential to introduce five new mental health-related waiting time standards as part of its clinically-led review of NHS access standards. As a first step, NHS England has shared and promoted guidance with its local system partners to consistently report waiting times to support the development of a baseline position.<\/p>"}
