I and my Ministerial colleagues and officials have very regular engagement with the Local Government Association (LGA) and other representatives of local government on a wide range of issues, including services for children and young people.<\/p>
In 2020-21, local government will receive the largest year-on-year increase in spending power in almost a decade. Core Spending Power will rise by an estimated 4.4 per cent in real terms, to around £49.2 billion. This will help provide valuable support for services to young people. Longer term funding decisions will be made at the next Spending Review.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4450", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Luke Hall"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thornbury and Yate"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Luke Hall"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2020-02-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2020-02-24T16:28:11.583Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2020-02-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Youth Services: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent discussions he has had with the Local Government Association on the adequacy of funding allocated by local authorities for the provision of youth services.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4253", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Seema Malhotra"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Feltham and Heston"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Seema Malhotra"} ], "uin" : "1224"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1178644", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1178644/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
We are having ongoing discussions with the Chancellor about capital investment in the National Health Service, including primary care.<\/p>
In September 2019, the Government announced the next stage of our strategic investment in the future of the NHS: the Health Infrastructure Plan (HIP). The HIP will ensure our world-class healthcare staff have world-class facilities to deliver cutting edge care.<\/p>
As part of this, the Government recognises that more community and primary care is pivotal to the delivery of more personalised, preventative healthcare as set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.<\/p>
The Department will receive a multi-year capital settlement at the next capital review, which will help the Department and the NHS to deliver the ambitions of the HIP.<\/p>

The local NHS England and NHS Improvement teams for the proposed National Health Service Local Improvement Finance Trust schemes in Heston and West Hull were informed in June 2019 that they will need to be locally prioritised and funded through available public capital.<\/p>
There are a range of procurement routes available to deliver prioritised public capital schemes; these include using existing construction frameworks such as Procure 22 and standalone procurements. The most appropriate procurement route for each scheme in terms of value for money and affordability is considered as part of the business case for each scheme.<\/p>
