Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people in England have a formal clinical diagnosis of mixed anxiety and depressive disorder recorded in NHS primary care records.

Answered by Preet Kaur Gill

The Department does not hold data on the number of people in England with a formal clinical diagnosis of mixed anxiety and depressive disorder recorded in National Health Service primary care records.

The Quality and Outcomes Framework publication shows the prevalence of depression more broadly, with the depression disease register capturing all patients with an unresolved diagnosis of depression since 1 April 2006. However, it does not break this down by the number of patients with a specific type of diagnosis. The Quality and Outcomes Framework publication is available at the following link:

https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/quality-and-outcomes-framework-achievement-prevalence-and-exceptions-data/2023-24/data-quality-annex

The most recent Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey, for 2023/24, reported that one in five adults have a common mental health condition, which comprise of different types of depression and anxiety disorders.

The Department has commissioned an independent review into the prevalence, trends, and inequalities associated with mental health conditions, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism in children, young people, and adults. An interim report was published in March, with a final report expected in the summer. The interim report is available at the following link:

Answered by Olivia Bailey

The department’s core capital priorities remain unchanged. The School Rebuilding Programme continues in full delivery, and funding for school and college maintenance and special educational needs capital is protected. This includes our commitment to remove Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete from schools and colleges.

The department has met its contribution to the Defence Investment Plan without impacting these priority programmes. The capital expenditure recorded in the Main Estimate 2026/27 under Grants to Local Authorities – Schools and Early Years and Grants to Academies is not affected.

We are focused on delivering the best possible outcomes for children and will not take resources away from day to day spending on frontline services in education. We will continue to manage budgets through standard business planning and prioritisation processes.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people were being cared for in forensic support services in each year since 2013-14, broken down by a) high, b) medium and c) low secure services.

Answered by Preet Kaur Gill

The following table shows spending on forensic support services according to high, medium and low secure services between 2013/14 and 2023/24, the most recent year for which data is available:

Source: NHS England, Regional Spend Analysis

Notes:

1. 2020/21 figures were not collected due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2. There is other spending categorised as “forensic” which is not specifically related to high, medium and low secure services.

The following table shows the number of unique patients who were being cared for in forensic support services in each year since 2016/17, the earliest year for which data is available, broken down by high, medium and low secure services:

Source: NHS England

Notes:

1. The earliest reporting period available from the Specialised Mental Health Patient-Level Dataset is 2016/17. From 2021/22 onwards, the data has been sourced from the Mental Health Services Dataset.

2. The figures represent unique patients within each service category and financial year. However, for unique patients, this is not a distinct count of all patients across secure services. A patient may therefore be counted more than once in the total if they moved between security levels during the same financial year.

3. The same patient may also appear across multiple financial years.

Answered by Andrew Western - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)

Get Britain Working (GBW) is a strategic objective, capturing several activities across the Department, each programme linked to GBW will report its’ spend against allocated budget. However, DWP does not report financial information in a way that consolidates all GBW related activities, over the Spending Review period (SR25).

The £370m has been allocated to the Apprenticeships Programme over the SR25 period (FY26/27 to FY28/29). Of which, £61m was allocated to FY26/27 and will add to the overall apprenticeships budget - future year allocations will be agreed through annual Departmental Business Planning exercise ahead of the financial year and published as part of Estimates process.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to section 5 of the Government Efficiency Framework, if he will publish the most recent quarterly efficiency report provided by the Food Standards Agency.

Answered by Sharon Hodgson

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) does not provide efficiency reporting to HM Treasury under the Government’s Efficiency Framework. This reflects an agreement between HM Treasury and the FSA, recognising the FSA’s size and the proportionate reporting requirements that apply to smaller departments. Consequently, there is no efficiency report available. The FSA continues to progress organisational change and transformation activity to improve efficiency and effectiveness, ensuring it is well placed to meet future demands and deliver its objectives.
