The Ministry of Defence (MOD) recognises that there is a small and defined cohort of Service personnel and veterans who have been very seriously injured as a result of service, and who will remain highly dependent, requiring additional support as they transition into civilian life. The aim of the Integrated Personal Commissioning for Veterans (IPC4V) system is to provide patient-centred support to improve the integration of health and social care for that cohort whether provided by the MOD, NHS, Local Government or the third sector.<\/p>
Currently at the proof of concept phase, it is anticipated that the adequacy of IPC4V can be assessed over autumn 2018.<\/p>

Small and medium-sized businesses across England can access support through GOV.UK and the Business Support Helpline. Over the last three years, Government has also supported and invested in the creation of 38 Growth Hubs (one in each Local Enterprise<\/p>
Partnership area), providing businesses across England with tailored advice and support. To date, Growth Hubs have engaged and supported over 570,000 businesses, delivered 68,000 diagnostic interventions and helped 11,391 individuals to start a business.<\/p>
<\/p>
Since launch, the six Growth Hubs in the West Midlands have supported over 37,500 businesses; delivered over 2,200 intensive diagnostics; and helped over 1,850 individuals to start a business. Of these, the Coventry and Warwickshire Growth Hub has supported over 2,530 businesses; delivered 380 intensive diagnostics and helped 415 individuals to start a business.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, the recently launched £250 million Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF), provides finance to help smaller business across the Midlands to start up and grow, helping realise the region\u2019s potential to achieve economic growth through enterprise. As at March 2018, it had made 6 investments into 6 SMEs in the West Midlands with £203k invested.<\/p>
<\/p>
Aligned to this, the Midlands Engine Strategy sets out our actions to date and the next steps to deliver our vision for the Midlands by tackling local productivity barriers. This includes; £392m for Midland's projects to accelerate local growth, bringing the total Growth Deal Funding for the Midlands to nearly £1.9 billion, a flagship £20 million Midlands Skills Challenge to improve skills across the Midlands, £4 million to support the Midlands Engine Partnership to deepen their excellent work.<\/p>
<\/p>
Furthermore, programmes operated by the government-backed British Business Bank (BBB) are supporting £4 billion of finance to over 65,000 smaller businesses (as at end Sept 2017). Since the launch of the British Business Bank in November 2014, its programmes have facilitated over £607m to businesses in the West Midlands. Of this figure, over £75m has supported businesses in Coventry*. Additionally, since 2012, the Start-up Loans programme has made over 4,500 loans totalling over £31m in the West Midlands, this includes 244 loans totalling over £1.5m in Coventry**.<\/p>
<\/p>
Through our Industrial Strategy, we will continue to back small and medium-sized business to grow and create jobs by providing an environment in which they can thrive.<\/p>

The upgrade will enable increased passenger capacity and improved journey times, thereby improving the overall experience for passengers.<\/p> <\/p> In an extensive public consultation last summer we sought views on the future of East Midlands rail services to ensure the new franchise delivers the best railway for passengers, communities and businesses, including how local train services can be improved to meet current and future needs more effectively.<\/p> <\/p> The consultation closed on 11 October 2017. All options for rail services in the next franchise are subject to analysis of the potential benefits and the responses we received to the consultation. No decisions have yet been made on the rail services that will be specified. Any outcome will seek to secure the best value for money for the taxpayer and be in the best interests of rail passengers.<\/p> <\/p> The next East Midlands franchise is planned to start in August 2019.
