In the event of a no deal, the Government underwrite will cover the payment of awards to UK beneficiaries for all successful bids to Horizon 2020, including the European Research Council, for the lifetime of projects.<\/p>

Further guidance on how the underwrite will work in practice will be published in due course.<\/del><\/p>

This includes Horizon 2020 grants that have been transferred to the UK before the date of EU exit.

From the very beginning the Prime Minister has been clear that safeguarding the rights of EU citizens living in the UK and UK nationals living in the EU was her first priority for negotiations. The best way to guarantee those rights, both for UK nationals in the EU and EU citizens in the UK, is through the Withdrawal Agreement.<\/p>

On 27 February, the House of Commons supported a proposal by Alberto Costa MP which requires the Government to seek a joint UK/EU commitment to preserve the citizens\u2019 rights section of the Withdrawal Agreement, whatever the outcome of negotiations.<\/p>

The Secretary of State Steve Barclay has now written to the EU\u2019s lead Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, on ring-fencing the Citizens\u2019 Rights part of the Withdrawal Agreement. This letter has also been copied to Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament\u2019s Brexit coordinator and shared with the Secretary-General. Copies of the letter have been placed in the libraries of both Houses and it has been published online at gov.uk<\/a>.<\/del><\/p>

The department currently employs 209 apprentices. This can be broken down into the following groups in the attached table, which also shows the proportion against the total number of employees.<\/p>

Regarding the proportion of apprentices employed at the Institute for Apprenticeships, this is a matter for the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education.

NHS Improvement is working closely with Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust to achieve delivery of the 95% four hour accident and emergency (A&E) standard. Several steps are in place to support the Trust, including monthly oversight meetings between NHS Improvement\u2019s senior leadership team and the Trust\u2019s chief executive team to review performance; provision of NHS Improvement staff for on-site support to review long-stay patients and discharge those who are medically fit to be discharged; and work with mental health providers and the London Ambulance Service to support appropriate placement of mental health patients as well as improve patient handover performance. The Trust also received £500,000 of capital to develop and open a crisis café at the University Hospital Lewisham site, to help prevent avoidable mental health attendances at A&E.<\/p>

There are multiple actions underway to support reductions in waiting times for patients in London Emergency Departments. The London Urgent and Emergency Care programme and the Emergency Care Intensive Support Team provide dedicated expertise and support to several trusts1<\/sup><\/ins>. In addition, circa £26 million of extra capital investment was allocated to trusts across London to increase beds, emergency department capacity, same day emergency care and acute mental health services ahead of winter.<\/p>
