Latest 7 Written Questions

(View all written questions)
Written Questions can be tabled by MPs and Lords to request specific information information on the work, policy and activities of a Government Department
1st Jul 2014
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the UK's child protection legislation; and if he will make a statement.

Professor Eileen Munro undertook a wide-ranging independent review of the child protection system in England reporting in 2011. This review looked at the system as a whole, including the adequacy of the child protection legislation. The Department for Education has since clarified the legislation through the revised statutory safeguarding guidance, ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children 2013' so all organisations working with vulnerable children know what the law says they and others must do.

The Department will continue to monitor the current legislation and review options to strengthen the system to keep children safe.

3rd Mar 2015
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what meetings Ministers of his Department had with (a) disability representative groups and (b) private sector organisations between July 2013 and February 2015.

DWP Ministers meet regularly with external organisations in relation to the Department’s work and welfare reform. Details of meetings with external organisations up to and including March 2014 are published by the Cabinet Office as part of the Government’s commitment to transparency, and these details are available at:

19th Nov 2014
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what plans his Department has to support hospital trusts in London to deliver better experience of care for cancer patients; and if he will make a statement.

Cancer patients are increasingly positive about their care, with 89% rating it as excellent or very good, and this comes as the National Health Service treats more patients for cancer than ever before. The National Cancer Patient Experience Survey results in 2014 show in over half the questions asked, compared to the 2010 survey, patients reporting positively on areas, including feeling they were given enough information, being offered a range of treatment options and being treated with respect and dignity. Where they are telling us we need to do better it is important that swift action is taken and NHS trusts and commissioners must reflect on their results and take action as appropriate.

NHS England is working with NHS Improving Quality and Macmillan Cancer Support to ensure that improvement work is supported by spreading good practice across hospitals providing care in a drive to reduce national variation in patients’ experience of care and raise overall standards, including in London. This includes the experience of care for black and minority ethnic (BME) patients and vulnerable groups.

The Cancer Patient Experience Advisory Group, at its January meeting, will discuss priorities for improvement in cancer patient experience, including for BME patients.
