Modernising Support for Independent Living: The Health and Disability Green Paper<\/em> looks at different options to reshape the current welfare system so that we can provide better targeted support to those who need it most. Chapter 3 \u2018PIP \u2013 What do we provide support for?\u2019 explores the types of extra costs disabled people or people with long-term health conditions have, recognising each individual has different costs and experiences.<\/p>

We are gathering information through our 12-week consultation which was published on Monday 29 April and will close on Monday 22 July at 11:59pm.<\/p>

<\/p>

We encourage everyone to respond to the consultation which can be found here,<\/a> so that we are able to hear from as many disabled people, people with health conditions, their representatives, and local stakeholders as possible on these important issues.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4513", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mims Davies"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Mid Sussex"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mims Davies"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-05-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-05-20T15:07:07.69Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-05-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Disability: Cost of Living"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking to estimate the additional costs disabled people incur as a result of their conditions or impairments.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/178", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John McDonnell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hayes and Harlington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "John McDonnell"} ], "uin" : "25602"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1717073", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1717073/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

As I told the House last week, Israel must facilitate immediate, uninterrupted humanitarian access in the south, especially the entry of fuel, and ensure the protection of civilians and safe passage for those who wish to leave Rafah.<\/p>

We have been clear that we would not support a major operation in Rafah unless there is a very clear plan for how to protect people and save lives. We have not seen that plan so, in these circumstances, we would not support a major operation in Rafah.<\/p>

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically impacted global health and immunisation. The UK Government is supporting efforts to get routine immunisation back on track and has committed £1.65 billion to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, from 2021-2025 to support their mission to immunise 300 million children and save up to 8 million lives from vaccine preventable diseases over this period. The UK has supported Gavi since its inception in 2000, during which time Gavi has vaccinated more than 1 billion children in 78 lower-income countries, saving over 17 million lives. Alongside our Gavi investment, we are working with countries to build stronger primary health care systems as a core part of restoring immunisation services.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1211", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Sutton Coldfield"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Andrew Mitchell"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-05-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-05-20T15:04:22.89Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-05-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Developing Countries: Vaccination"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, what steps his Department is taking with international partners to (a) increase childhood immunisation rates, (b) make vaccine access more equitable and (c) support Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4765", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Wendy Chamberlain"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Fife"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Wendy Chamberlain"} ], "uin" : "25715"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1717076", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1717076/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The starts and completions for accredited programmes delivered in custody between March 2010 and March 2023 for (i) offender behaviour, (ii) sex offender, (iii) substance misuse, (iv) domestic violence and (v) extremism programmes are provided in figures 3.1 and 3.2 in Prison Education and Accredited Programme Statistics 2022 to 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)<\/a>. Data for 2023-2024 will be published in the Prison Education and Accredited Programmes Statistics report on 26 September 2024.<\/p>

<\/p>

In custody, the longer-term decrease in Accredited Programme starts and completions has been primarily driven by the change of programme ownership \u2013 and responsibility for running substance misuse accredited programmes - from HMPPS to NHS. As of 1 April 2011, local NHS partnerships assumed these responsibilities. The large decreases seen reflect the fact that more offenders are completing programmes run by the NHS, rather than HMPPS. There has also been a reinvestment from shorter, moderate intensity programmes in favour of longer, higher intensity programmes along with the introduction of some 1:1 programmes. This better reflects the identified demand across HMPPS prisons. The number of commissioned completions has therefore decreased although overall maintaining investment.<\/p>

<\/p>

The starts and completions for accredited programmes delivered in the community from 2009-10 to 2014-15 for (i) offender behaviour, (ii) sex offender, (iii) substance misuse, (iv) domestic violence and (v) extremism programmes are published in the Accredited Programmes Bulletin at Tables 1.3 and 1.4 https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/accredited-programmes-bulletin-2014-to-2015.<\/a><\/p>

The information for April 2015-March 2023 is contained in the attached table. The information for starts can be found in table 1 and for completions in table 2.<\/p>

We keep offending behaviour programmes under continual review, to ensure that they are effective in reducing reoffending and protecting the public.<\/p>

We have also introduced a range of programmes designed specifically to address Sexual Offending, including one specifically tailored to non-contact internet offending.<\/p>
