Southeastern’s service level will be increasing with the introduction of an additional 44 services per day when the timetable is updated in December. We will continue to work with Southeastern, as we do with all train operators, to drive further improvements in performance and passenger experience while at the same time ensuring we maximise value for money for the taxpayer.

Transport policy is devolved to the Mayor of London and Transport for London. It is up to the Mayor to decide how much of the wider funding for London’s transport is passed down to the boroughs, who are also able to use other sources of locally raised income to fund highway maintenance activities in their areas.
This Government takes the condition of local roads very seriously and is committed to maintaining and renewing the local highway network. As part of this, it has a commitment to enable local highway authorities in England to fix up to a million more potholes a year.
The Government will confirm funding allocations for 2025/26 to English local highway authorities in due course.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The additional £500 million that the Chancellor has announced at the Budget for local highway maintenance for the 2025/26 financial year represents an increase of nearly 50% in comparison to the current financial year. This goes above and beyond the funding that had been provisionally earmarked for 2025/26 as part of the previous Government’s Network North programme and shows that this Government is serious about tackling the maintenance backlog on local roads.

On 21 October we launched the biggest ever national conversation on the future of the National Health Service. We are putting the public and staff at the centre of the policy making process. We have designed this engagement to make sure as many people as possible from all communities and backgrounds are supported to contribute their views. This is being done through the change.NHS.UK website, and through online and in-person events across England.
The change.NHS.UK website provides a variety of formats and ways to respond, for a range of accessibility needs. This includes British Sign Language (BSL) and easy-read formats of the surveys, and the option to respond by post, email, telephone, or BSL video. There is a dedicated accessibility page on the website that signposts to these formats and the alternative ways to respond, as well as contact details for any further support. We were made aware of some digital accessibility issues on the website, and the majority of the issues are now resolved. Further detail is set out in the accessibility statement on the change.NHS.UK website.

The Government is committed to improving access to Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in public spaces and reducing inequalities in access to these life saving devices. Following the depletion of the existing AED fund, launched in in September 2023, the Government approved a further £500,000 in August 2024 to fulfil existing applications to the fund.
The Department selected a joint bid from Smarter Society as its independent partners to manage grant applications. Smarter Society has reviewed funding applications against requirements specified by the Department. These requirements are to ensure that resources are allocated to where there is the greatest need, for example remote communities with extended ambulance response times, places with high footfall and high population densities, hotspots for cardiac arrest, including sporting venues and venues with vulnerable people, and deprived areas.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)
We want a society where every person, including those with long-term conditions such as epilepsy, receives high-quality, compassionate continuity of care, with their families and carers supported. We will change the National Health Service so that it becomes not just a sickness service, but one able to prevent ill health in the first place. This will help us be better prepared for the change in the nature of disease and allow our services to focus more on the management of chronic, long-term conditions, including epilepsy.
At the national level, there are a number of initiatives supporting service improvement and better care for patients with epilepsy, including the RightCare Epilepsy Toolkit, and the Getting It Right First Time Programme for Neurology.
The Department funds research into epilepsy via the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The NIHR spent almost £19 million on 46 epilepsy research projects in the five years from April 2019 to March 2024. Additionally, over this period, more than 9,500 people were enabled to participate in epilepsy research by the NIHR Clinical Research Network, now the NIHR Research Delivery Network.
The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including epilepsy. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money, and scientific quality.
The NIHR also works closely with other Government funders, including UK Research and Innovation, which is funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and includes the Medical Research Council, to fund research into epilepsy to improve treatments and prevent poor health outcomes for patients.

The Government published the ‘Reforming the Right to Buy’ consultation via www.gov.uk on 20 November 2024, and is content that it meets the expected accessibility standards to allow all interested parties to contribute their views. As prescribed in the Government’s Publishing Accessible Documents guidance, the consultation is published in HTML format to make it easier to read and to find.
It provides a variety of ways to respond to meet the range of accessibility needs; an online response option, a direct email address and a postal address for those unable to respond online. Anyone having any difficultly responding can get in touch using the contact details available to request assistance or an alternative way to respond.
