Across the social sector as a whole there are a total of around 1.4 million one-bedroom properties (GB). Managing that stock efficiently is part of the challenge that social landlords must embrace. Landlords were given three years notice to start to prepare for this change and during that time were encouraged to take account of local needs and demographic trends when allocating properties and developing their building programmes.<\/p>

<\/p>

There is turnover of properties in the social sector, and with suitable management and prioritisation by social landlords this should provide a means of allowing many of those affected by the Removal of the Spare Room Subsidy to move to suitable properties over time.<\/p>

<\/p>

The 2012 Impact Assessment: stated there was little robust evidence on which to base an assessment of behavioural responses and so did not predict the likely extent of downsizing. The 25 per cent figure within the Impact Assessment reflected research which asked a hypothetical question about what people thought they might do in response to a reduction, but this was undertaken some time before the full details of the policy were finalised.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Impact Assessment did look at the potential sensitivity of the estimated savings to moves by affected claimants. This sensitivity testing was based on an assumption that around 50,000 affected claimants moved (around 8 per cent). This was not a prediction, but both the interim evaluation report and ad-hoc analysis show that people are downsizing. The ad-hoc report shows around 19,000 had downsized in the Social Rented Sector between May and December 2013, broadly within the bounds of the Impact Assessment sensitivity analysis.<\/p>

<\/p>

It was never assumed that downsizing was a remedy for everyone and we were not in a position to predict how many people would choose to move.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3893", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Freud"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Freud"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-07-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-07-28T13:16:26.636397Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Housing Benefit: Social Rented Housing"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what assessment they have made of the reasons why, according to their recent Evaluation of Removal of the Spare Room Subsidy: Interim Report<\/i>, 4.5 per cent of people affected have downsized to smaller accommodation, compared with the 25 per cent estimated in the impact assessment Housing Benefit: Under occupation of social housing<\/i>,<\/i>published in 2012.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4163", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord German"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord German"} ], "uin" : "HL1491"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79596", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79596/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government has already taken steps to support mobility of tenants in the social rented sector.<\/p>

Our social housing reforms have given social landlords, including councils, much more flexibility when allocating housing. Our statutory guidance on social housing allocations stresses the importance of giving under-occupying social tenants appropriate priority for a transfer. It also encourages authorities to re-consider the parameters of their allocation schemes which may prevent under-occupiers from being able to move.<\/p>

The introduction of the national HomeSwap<\/em> Direct scheme has made it easier for tenants wanting to move to find a suitable property. A guide was issued in February 2014 to support landlords seeking to facilitate mutual exchanges; highlighting various steps landlords can take to make mutual exchange a more attractive and viable proposition for tenants.Indeed, many social landlords are helping affected tenants by holding \u201cmutual exchange fairs\u201d, where tenants who want to downsize can meet those looking for larger properties.<\/p>

The 2015-18 Affordable Housing Programme also encourages housing providers to build appropriately sized social homes to meet local need, 77% of successful bids have been for 1 and 2 bedroom homes, increasing the stock of housing available for those working to downsize.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3893", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Freud"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Freud"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-07-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-07-29T11:10:40.3659498Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Housing Benefit: Social Rented Housing"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government, in the light of their recent Evaluation of Removal of the Spare Room Subsidy: Interim Report<\/i>, what incentives they intend to make available to social landlords to encourage offers of alternative housing to be made to people affected by the removal of the spare room subsidy.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4163", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord German"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord German"} ], "uin" : "HL1492"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79540", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79540/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Keeping our children safe, and ensuring our schools prepare them for life in modern Britain, could not be more important. There is no place for extremist views in any school.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Secretary of State will take action whenever information emerges that children are being exposed to indoctrination or extremist views that are contrary to fundamental British values. The Department for Education will continue to support local authorities and schools when serious concerns emerge, wherever those schools are.<\/p>

<\/p>

As the Secretary of State said in her statement to the House of Commons on 22 July, she will reflect on the questions raised and the specific recommendations made in Peter Clarke\u2019s report, and return to the House in the autumn to set out what steps will be taken on these matters.<\/p>

The central cost of holding Cabinet in Aberdeen was £1,800. This is a considerable reduction from the cost of regional Cabinet meetings under the previous administration, which were reported through Parliamentary Questions to have cost between £50,000 and £100,000.<\/p>

As was the case under previous administrations, Departments and agencies may also have incurred costs in terms of travel, staff time and other support. The cost of police security is a matter for the relevant police force.<\/p>

NHS England is committed to the development and implementation of a new information standard for accessible information and communication.<\/p>

<\/p>

ISB 1605 Accessible Information aims to establish a consistent, standardised framework and approach to the identification and recording of the information and communication needs of patients, service users, carers and parents, where they relate to a disability, impairment or sensory loss; establish \u2018flags\u2019, alerts, prompts and other mechanisms to ensure that such needs are highly visible to appropriate staff; and set out clear expectations as to how such needs should be met, supported or addressed.<\/p>

<\/p>

Final approval of the standard is scheduled for Spring 2016.

This Government wants England to lead the world in tackling cancer and ensure the National Health Service is able to meet the needs of all cancer patients. That is why our 2011 Cancer Outcomes Strategy set the ambition to save a further 5,000 lives a year from cancer by 2014-15. The Strategy is backed with more than £750 million over the four year Spending Review period (2011-12 to 2014-15).<\/p>

<\/p>

A number of treatments have been recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) including the paediatric, adolescent, wild-type and syndromic (PAWS) sub-variants.<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS commissioners are legally required to fund treatments recommended by NICE in its technology appraisal guidance. NICE regularly reviews its guidance to take into account new evidence.<\/p>

<\/p>

Treatment for PAWS GIST is commissioned through NHS England\u2019s Specialised Services. Treatment for individuals is managed through multi-disciplinary teams. GIST Support UK have in partnership with Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge, established a PAWS-GIST clinic that is led by Dr Bulusu working with a United Kingdom national alliance of doctors. NHS England, through its Children\u2019s Cancer and Sarcoma Clinical Reference Groups, is monitoring the clinic as it develops and progresses.<\/p>

<\/p>

We know how important it is for patients to receive the information they need and a range of initiatives have been used in the NHS, such as information prescriptions, advanced communications training and support for clinical nurse specialists.<\/p>

<\/p>
