Written Answers
Minimum Wage: Glasgow North East
Asked by: Maureen Burke (Labour - Glasgow North East)
Tuesday 17th December 2024

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what estimate he has made of the number of people that will be impacted by the increase to the national minimum wage in Glasgow North East constituency.

Answered by Justin Madders - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)

The Government will publish an Impact Assessment alongside the legislation that implements the increase to the National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage in 2025. This will include analysis of the number of workers affected by region and country. More granular estimates by constituency are subject to greater data reliability issues due to survey response rates.

Medical Treatments
Asked by: Maureen Burke (Labour - Glasgow North East)
Wednesday 18th December 2024

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to help (a) reduce bureaucracy and (b) improve access to treatments.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

While health is a devolved matter, to reduce bureaucracy the Government and NHS England have launched a Red Tape Challenge, to address bureaucracy between primary and secondary care, to give our health professionals time back to do what they do best.

We are working to improve access by increasing the number of appointments delivered in general practice (GP), and taking the pressure off those currently working in the system, by investing £82 million in England to recruit over 1,000 newly qualified GPs through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme. We are also training thousands more GPs and ending the 8:00am scramble for appointments by introducing a modern booking system.

Last January, Pharmacy First was launched, which enables patients to receive treatment for seven common health conditions from a pharmacy without the need to visit a GP. In dentistry, we are working to ensure patients can start to access 700,000 additional urgent dental appointments as soon as possible, targeting the areas that need them most.

Additionally, funding announced in the Autumn Budget will support the delivery of an additional 2 million operations, scans, and appointments during our first year in Government, which is the equivalent to 40,000 per week, as a first step in our commitment to ensuring that patients can expect to be treated within 18 weeks.

As part of the Government’s five long-term missions, we have launched a 10-Year Health Plan to reform the NHS and make it fit for the future. The plan will set out a bold agenda to deliver on the three big shifts needed to move healthcare from hospital to the community, analogue to digital, and sickness to prevention.

Driving Tests: Glasgow North East
Asked by: Maureen Burke (Labour - Glasgow North East)
Wednesday 8th January 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to reduce the waiting list for practical driving tests in Glasgow North East constituency.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency’s (DVSA) main priority is upholding road safety standards while it works hard to reduce car practical driving test waiting times.

On the 18 December, DVSA set out further plans to reduce driving test waiting times. These steps include recruiting 450 driving examiners (DE) and improving rules for booking driving tests. Full details of these steps can be found on GOV.UK.

DVSA continues to aim to recruit new DEs into the driving test centres that serve the Glasgow North East constituency, and is currently working through the recruitment process from recent campaigns. From this, DVSA hopes to make offers to successful candidates in the new year.

Health Services
Asked by: Maureen Burke (Labour - Glasgow North East)
Monday 6th January 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to simplify health treatments between the UK nations.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

While health is predominantly devolved, the Department holds some reserved functions, and working together across the United Kingdom on health and social care is ingrained in the values of our National Health Service and social care sector.

The Department works collaboratively with the devolved administrations to drive forward our objective of supporting people to lead more independent, healthier lives for longer, and to simplify health treatments between the nations of the UK.

My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and I met with health ministers from the devolved administrations on 11 December at the Interministerial Group for Health and Social Care, where we discussed a range of issues and approaches to drive reform and tackle the common challenges in our healthcare systems.

Veterans
Asked by: Maureen Burke (Labour - Glasgow North East)
Thursday 9th January 2025

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to support veterans.

Answered by Al Carns - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for Veterans)

This is a Government of service that will always stand up for those who serve our country. I am working across government and with civil society to ensure veterans get access to the support they need.

This Government has already taken swift action to demonstrate our commitment to renew this nation’s contract with those who have served. In November the Prime Minister announced an additional £3.5 million of funding for the continuation of the cross-UK Reducing Veterans Homelessness Programme, including Op FORTITUDE. This is in addition to the reforms he announced earlier in the year which mean that veterans are now exempt from local connection and residency tests when applying for social housing in England.

Housing support is available across the United Kingdom through Op FORTITUDE, a single referral pathway for veterans. This system provides housing guidance and assistance to veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness. As of 5 January 2025, 2,993 referrals have been made and 854 veterans have been supported into housing.

A range of support is in place for veterans. In England Op RESTORE provides specialist care to veterans who have physical health problems, and Op COURAGE, a specialist mental health service that helps service leavers, veterans and reservists. Healthcare is devolved across the UK, and as such systems that can be accessed by veterans differ in the Devolved Governments. As of 3 January 2025, over 35,000 referrals have been made to Op COURAGE and Op RESTORE has over 1,000 service users.

Veterans can also access a range of tailored employment support, including the Career Transition Partnership, which is the initial point of provision for those leaving military service in search of new job opportunities.

The Government’s manifesto commitment to include the Veteran Card in the list of voter identification has already been delivered with the legislation coming into effect in December 2024..

In December 2024 the MoD launched an LGBT financial recognition scheme, with a total budget of £75 million, which was 50% higher than the level recommended in the Etherton review and the cap set by the last Government. This will mean that almost all of the 49 recommendations made by Lord Etherton will have been delivered.

We will continue to stand up for those who served and have served and are currently reviewing how we can make veterans’ support more institutionally resilient.

Select Committee Inquiry
13 Jan 2025
Problem drug use in Scotland follow-up: Glasgow’s Safer Drug Consumption Facility
Scottish Affairs Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 3 Feb 2025)


This inquiry is examining the legal and policy challenges faced in setting up and running the pilot Safer Drugs Consumption Facility (SDCF) which opened in Glasgow in January 2025. This inquiry will examine the case for the facility, as well as its medical effectiveness in reducing drug-related harm in Scotland. The Committee will consider the current legal position of the SDCF, what challenges this presents, and what statutory and policy changes at a UK level might be necessary to enable the facility to operate sustainably beyond its three-year pilot.

This inquiry follows up on relevant aspects of the Scottish Affairs Committee’s previous work on this issue in the 2017-19 Parliament.

Read the terms of reference for more detail about the inquiry.
