NHS England is aware of Rural proofing: practical guidance to assess impacts of policies on rural areas<\/em>, published by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in March 2017.<\/p>

<\/p>

All Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) build on the Five Year Forward View to present an overall strategy for their geographic footprint and identify the three to five key priorities required to realise their vision. This should take account of specific challenges facing each area, which could include a dispersed, rural population.<\/p>

<\/p>

STPs have been in the public domain for several months. Partner organisations within each area are engaging both rural and urban communities on their plans and, where required by law, consulting on service change.<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England and NHS Improvement continue to provide ongoing support to each STP area. In September 2016, they published Engaging Local People: A guide for local areas developing Sustainability and Transformation Plans<\/em>, which set out how STP areas should reach out to stakeholders in their areas. A copy of the guidance is attached.<\/p>

The NHS is exploring ways to better adapt health provision for rural areas. For example, the vanguard covering Morecambe Bay Health Community is improving healthcare in a geographically isolated area by using a high definition telemedicine link between a general practitioner (GP) surgery in Millom and the accident and emergency (A&E) department in Barrow-in-Furness. This means when GPs can seek a second opinion as to whether a patient needs intensive treatment or can be treated in the community \u2013 they can call through and have an A&E specialist examine the patient. This means that over the 1,000 square miles that Morecambe Bay covers, patients can have access to expert opinion without having to travel further than their nearest GP.<\/p>

On 31 March, Next steps on the NHS Five Year Forward View<\/em> was published by NHS England. The document outlined a 10-point care and efficiency plan which will further contribute to improving the health outcomes of those living in rural areas.

Where a person is convicted of an offence under section 33 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (the \u2018fly-tipping\u2019), section 33B (2) of that Act provides that \u201closs or damage resulting from the offence\u201d in section 130 of the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 specifically includes costs incurred or to be incurred by a relevant person in removing the waste deposited or disposed of in or on the land; taking other steps to eliminate or reduce the consequences of the deposit or disposal; or both.<\/p>

<\/p>

A \u201crelevant person\u201d is defined for these purposes in section 33B (3) as including the occupier of the land and the owner of the land.<\/p>

<\/p>

A court can order the person convicted of fly-tipping to pay compensation to the occupier or owner of the land in respect of costs incurred or to be incurred in removing the waste and/or associated clean-up costs. Whether a court would in any particular case make such an order will depend on the nature of the case, any other form of punishment to which the offender is to be sentenced, and the financial means of the offender to pay. Once a compensation order is made the courts have a role in enforcing that order to ensure that monies are paid. This is reflected in the sentencing guideline. The application of the guideline is a matter for the court to decide. A copy of this document will be placed in the Library.<\/p>

The Government is not currently considering providing compensation to landowners in relation to large-scale commercial dumping of waste on private land.<\/p>

<\/p>

Fly-tipping is unacceptable whether it occurs on public or private land. However, fly-tipping on private land is a difficult issue. Local authorities are not under any legal obligation to clear fly-tipped waste from private property, so this responsibility falls to the landowner. Some authorities may offer a clearance service but they are likely to charge for this. If, following an investigation, a conviction is secured then the court can award compensation which covers the costs of clearance of waste to the landowner.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4161", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Gardiner of Kimble"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-04-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-04-06T11:44:49.477Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "13"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-03-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Fly-tipping"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government, further to the answer by the Earl of Courtown on 8 March (HL Deb, col 1357), whether they will give further consideration to providing compensation to landowners in relation to large-scale commercial dumping of waste on private land.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3343", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Byford"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Byford"} ], "uin" : "HL6460"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/715500", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/715500/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Help to Buy mortgage guarantee scheme was designed to be self-financing through the commercial fee that lenders paid for the provision of the Government guarantee. The fee was set to cover the administration cost, the cost of capital of providing the guarantee and expected losses from loans guaranteed under the scheme.<\/p>

<\/p>

The total cost of running the Help to Buy mortgage guarantee scheme from its introduction in 13 October to 31 March 2016 was £11.9 million. This has been paid in full with the commercial fees collected from lenders.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Treasury routinely publishes Official Statistics on the performance of the Help to Buy: mortgage guarantee scheme. The most recent publication was on 30 March 2017. This showed 101,960 mortgages had been completed with the support of the scheme.
