To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many and what proportion of attendees at the NHS England Mental Health Crisis Care Summit were mental health service users.
Alistair Burt
The second mental health Crisis Care Concordat national summit was held on 24 November 2015, hosted jointly by the Department and Mind.
The event concentrated on progress with improving crisis care since the launch of the Concordat in February 2014. The Summit was full, with 250 delegates and speakers. All delegates were Concordat activists – either involved in their local Crisis Concordat groups or representatives from national signatory and supporter organisations. People with lived experience and carers attended, as well as members of the National Survivor User Network. Some attendees will have been present representing their organisations but also will have had lived experience, and it is therefore not possible to calculate the number of those attendees who were mental health service users.
All Departmental conferences involve stakeholders and service users as part of the preparation process.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Luciana Berger on 2016-04-12.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many children in England who are categorised as Children in Need due to abuse or neglect have been (a) referred to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and (b) received treatment from CAMHS in each of the last five years.
Alistair Burt
This data has not been collected centrally. However, in February this year for the first time the Health and Social Care Information Centre began collecting a range of data about children and young people’s use of secondary mental health services via the new Mental Health Services Dataset. This includes data on whether children and young people using services are looked-after and are, or have been, subject to a child protection plan. Data quality and quantity will take time to build, but we expect a range of national reports to be developed during the course of 2016.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Luciana Berger on 2016-04-20.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will make it his policy to collect data from private sector providers of NHS mental health services.
Alistair Burt
The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) is responsible for the Mental Health Services Data Set which is a patient level, output based, secondary uses dataset which will deliver robust comprehensive, nationally consistent and comparable person based information for children, young people and adults who are in contact with mental health services.
Data submission is mandatory for all instances of care including from independent providers that are wholly or partially funded by the National Health Service.
The Department is also working with the HSCIC and other health system partners to improve data submissions from independent providers.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Luciana Berger on 2016-04-26.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many police officers have taken time off work due to stress in each of the last five years.
Mike Penning
The Home Office does not hold data centrally on the number of police officers who have taken time off work due to stress.
Policing, by its nature, can be a stressful and demanding job and it is the responsibility of chief officers, supported by the College of Policing, to ensure that good management systems are in place to support police in their work.
The Home Office recognises the importance of police welfare – last October we allocated £10 million to help support emergency services personnel and volunteers, focused on mental health, physical recuperation and bereavement support for those who need it.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Luciana Berger on 2016-05-09.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to ensure that the pricing rules set out in the national tariff guidance take into account the different costs bases of mental and physical healthcare.
Alistair Burt
NHS Improvement sets out local pricing rules in the national tariff which are designed to encourage commissioners and providers to set appropriate prices that reflect local conditions and priorities for services that do not have a national price. This includes mental health and community services.
NHS Improvement is leading the cost transformation programme which aims to improve the quality and use of patient-level cost information for all National Health Service funded services. This information will have local and national benefits from helping inform commissioner and provider decision making to setting prices and rules in the national tariff.
NHS Improvement has started the process for developing new costing standards for mental health and ambulance services. The draft costing standards for these services is expected to be published in 2017 and the final standards will be published in 2020.

Alistair Burt
The Department’s team with specific responsibility for those areas of policy on children and young people’s mental health for which the Secretary of State for Health is accountable consists of eleven people.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Luciana Berger on 2016-07-13.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many businesses in (a) Liverpool, Wavertree constituency and (b) Liverpool City Region do not have access to high speed broadband.
Karen Bradley
There is a substantial commitment by national government for superfast broadband rollout and £5.46 million of central government funding has been allocated to the Merseyside Connected project. This has led to 39,216 additional homes and businesses now being able to access superfast broadband as a result of the local project, with the aim to have 42,204 additional premises by the end of the project. This will bring superfast coverage in Merseyside to 99% of premises.
The Department does not hold data specifically for businesses. The table below shows estimates of the number of premises (both residential and business) without access to superfast broadband in all of the Merseyside and Liverpool City Region constituencies.
