Payment rates are based on the income forgone and costs to the farmer. In January, we announced that we were increasing the payment rate for rewetting moorland peat in Countryside Stewardship from £25 to £181 per hectare.\u202fThis significant increase will ensure appropriate payment to farmers as well as incentivising rewetting of vitally important peatland.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Nature for Climate Peatland Grant scheme has provided £35 million of funding to financially commit us to restoring approximately 27,000 hectares of peatland. This scheme is funding a significant proportion of our short-term target of restoring 35,000 hectares by 2025.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government\u2019s Environmental Land Management schemes will help us meet our longer-term target to restore 280,000 hectares of peatland by 2050. In particular, the Landscape Recovery scheme will provide successful projects with funding to support large-scale peatland restoration. Payments made to land managers under Landscape Recovery projects will be benchmarked against rates paid for similar activities under existing Government schemes, such as Countryside Stewardship, to ensure payments to farmers are appropriate.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/5006", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Douglas-Miller"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Douglas-Miller"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-03-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-03-11T16:02:54.973Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "13"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-02-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Peatlands: Environment Protection"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government whether payments to farmers in England to rewet upland peat are sufficient (1) to offset management costs and provide income to the farmers, and (2) to ensure levels of restoration activity that are consistent with short-term and long-term targets.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4395", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Hayman of Ullock"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Hayman of Ullock"} ], "uin" : "HL2839"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1535327", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1535327/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
It is a long-standing convention that individuals can be nominated for an honour in recognition of their public and political service, and that Prime Ministers can draw up a \u2018Dissolution\u2019 or \u2018Resignation\u2019 List (after a general election or when resigning from office). This has been the case under past governments from across the political spectrum.<\/p>
It would not be appropriate to speculate on any possible Resignation Honours Lists which is a matter for both former Prime Ministers and the current Prime Minister.<\/p>

However, access to Quality Premium scheme funding, which CCGs can earn in addition to their normal allocations for achieving specific improvements in care or outcomes, is partially dependent on each CCG\u2019s performance against waiting times standards. More broadly, NHS England is supported by legislation in exercising formal powers of direction if it is satisfied that a CCG is failing or at risk of failing to discharge its functions. The NHS Standard Contract provides for financial sanctions against acute hospital trusts for breaching waiting time operational standards.<\/p> <\/p> NHS England issues planning guidance annually, the latest of which is NHS Operational Planning and Contracting Guidance 2017-2019<\/em>. This sets out the waiting time standards, other operational standards and quality requirements that providers of NHS healthcare services are expected to meet in order to deliver the rights and pledges in the NHS Constitution. Copies of the Guidance and the NHS Constitution are attached.<\/p> <\/p> These requirements are set out in the NHS Standard Contract that must be used by CCGs for all contracts with hospital providers of NHS healthcare services. The Contract sets out the consequences of breaches of the waiting time standards and other requirements by hospital providers. For waiting time standards, this consequence is in the form of a financial sanction.<\/p> <\/p> However, from 2016-17, the operation of contractual sanctions for poor performance against waiting time standards has been suspended where a hospital provider is receiving funding from the Sustainability and Transformation Fund (STF), and meets certain other specified conditions, including the agreement of performance trajectories with NHS Improvement and NHS England. These arrangements are arranged at avoiding \u2018double jeopardy\u2019 for hospital providers within scope of the STF. If they fail to achieve their agreed performance trajectories, these hospital providers will face withdrawal of an element of their STF funding by NHS Improvement, but will not face application of the normal contractual sanctions by their commissioners.<\/p>"}
