We are expanding and transforming mental health services, including in the Warwick and Leamington constituency, through the NHS Long Term Plan. The plan commits to increasing investment into mental health services by at least £2.3 billion a year by 2023/24, so that an additional two million people, including 345,000 children and young people, are able to access National Health Service funded mental health support.<\/p>

We also provided an additional £79 million for 2021/22 to allow around 22,500 more children and young people to access community health services.<\/p>

This includes rolling out mental health support teams to schools and colleges across England. There are currently 287 mental health support teams in place in around 4,700 schools and colleges across the country, offering support to children experiencing anxiety, depression, and other common mental health issue. Mental health support teams now cover 26% of pupils a year earlier than originally planned and this will increase to 399 teams, covering around 35% of pupils, by April 2023, with over 500 planned to be up and running by 2024.<\/p>

Eight teams are in place or planned in the Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care System area.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4492", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Maria Caulfield"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Lewes"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Maria Caulfield"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-02-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-02-20T10:30:28.71Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-02-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Mental Health Services: Children"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to increase access to children\u2019s mental health services in Warwick and Leamington constituency.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4617", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Matt Western"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Warwick and Leamington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Matt Western"} ], "uin" : "143827"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1585935", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1585935/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government\u2019s education reforms have given schools the freedom to make their own decisions about budgets. Schools can recruit teaching assistants according to the school\u2019s circumstances and set pay and conditions. All schools have different characteristics and should have the freedom to make these decisions.<\/p>

Most schools follow local government pay scales, and some pay more when they can afford to do so. The Government does not have a role in setting these pay scales and there is no national pay body. Instead, most councils take part in collective negotiations. The Local Government Association represents the employer when negotiating with the local government trade unions, UNISON, Unite and the GMB, which represent the employee.<\/p>

Support staff, including teaching assistants, on pay scales, or in schools that mirror them, have received a pay rise of 10% on average, backdated to April 2022.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-02-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-02-23T17:09:07.34Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-02-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Special Educational Needs: Classroom Assistants"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an assessment of the adequacy of average pay for special educational needs teaching assistants in (a) primary and (b) secondary schools.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4617", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Matt Western"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Warwick and Leamington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Matt Western"} ], "uin" : "143828"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1585936", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1585936/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Information on the school workforce, including teaching assistants, is published in the \u2018School Workforce in England\u2019 statistical publication, which can be accessed here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england<\/a>.<\/p>

Customers paying for their electricity via direct debit or smart prepayment meter will receive the discount directly. Customers with traditional prepayment meters are receiving the discount via vouchers or Special Action Messages from their supplier.<\/p>

Transferring Energy Bills Support Scheme payments from electricity meters to gas meters is allowed under the scheme.

Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) are used by employers to reimburse an employee\u2019s expenses for business mileage in their private vehicle.<\/p>

<\/p>

AMAPs are intended to create administrative simplicity and certainty by using an average rate, which reflects vehicle running costs including fuel, servicing and depreciation. Fuel is therefore only one component.<\/p>

<\/p>

The AMAP rate is advisory and employers can choose to pay more or less than the advisory rate. It is therefore ultimately up to employers, including public sector organisations, to determine the rate at which they reimburse their employees. Employees who receive less than the AMAP rate can claim tax relief on the difference. Employees who receive more will be taxed on the difference.<\/p>

<\/p>

Like all taxes and allowances, the Government keeps the AMAP rate under review.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4519", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for James Cartlidge"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Suffolk"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "James Cartlidge"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-02-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "140074"} , {"_value" : "140273"} , {"_value" : "140274"} , {"_value" : "141517"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-02-09T17:11:59.6Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-02-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Mileage Allowances"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when mileage rates were last reviewed; and if his Department will conduct a new review of rates.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4617", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Matt Western"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Warwick and Leamington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Matt Western"} ], "uin" : "140281"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "https://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&max-ddpModified.=2023-02-14T10%3A47%3A11.510Z&tablingMemberConstituency=Warwick+and+Leamington", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 723, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
