Health Services
Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Wednesday 19th March 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 13 March 2025 to Question 36169 on Health Services, what tests (a) his Department and (b) NHS England require before a substantial planned service change. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The tests the Department requires are set out in NHS England’s guidance to the National Health Service on planning, assuring and delivering service change, which is available at the following link: https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/planning-assuring-and-delivering-service-change-for-patients/ The Government’s four tests of service change are:
In any proposal includes plans to significantly reduce hospital bed numbers, NHS England will expect commissioners to be able to evidence that they can meet one of the following three conditions: demonstrate that sufficient alternative provision, such as increased general practice or community services, is being put in place alongside or ahead of bed closures, and that the new workforce will be there to deliver it; and/or show that specific new treatments or therapies, such as new anti-coagulation drugs used to treat strokes, will reduce specific categories of admissions; or where a hospital has been using beds less efficiently than the national average, that it has a credible plan to improve performance without affecting patient care, for example in line with the Getting it Right First Time programme. |

Hospitals: Radio
Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Wednesday 19th March 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to help support hospital radio stations.

Universal Credit: Incapacity Benefit
Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Wednesday 19th March 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of raising the standard rate of Universal Credit on the number of people claiming incapacity benefits. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) Universal Credit awards include a standard allowance, which is the core component of any award and is paid according to age and household unit. The purpose of the standard allowance is to provide towards basic living costs. Additional amounts are added to provide for individual needs such as housing, children, disability, and childcare costs.
On 18 March 2025 we announced the first permanent above-inflation rise in the Standard Allowance, benefitting millions of people. That is an increase of up to £775 annually in cash terms by 2029/30 for single households on UC aged over 25. This avoids people having to choose between employment or adequate financial support, and addresses the current issue where people on the health element receive over double the rate of the standard allowance, creating an incentive for people to prove they are unfit to work to claim the health element and access greater financial support.
The government will publish the OBR-certified costings of individual measures on the day of the Spring Statement on 26 March and we will be publishing estimated impacts on claimants, including for changes to the Standard Rate of Universal Credit, on the same day. |

Universal Credit
Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Monday 17th March 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the introduction of Universal Credit on the ease of applying for (a) the Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity element and (b) other incapacity benefits. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) We are always looking to make improvements to the service we provide to customers, including how they apply for benefits
As a modern digital service Universal Credit is iterated all the time. It is developed taking into consideration the users of the service.

Universal Credit
Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Tuesday 18th March 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she has made an assessment of the impact of the removal of the additional Limited Capability for Work payment in 2017 on the likelihood of claimants applying for the Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity payment. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) The removal of the Work-Related Activity Component in the 2017 change made the financial distinction between those found to have Limited Capability for Work (LCW) and those with Limited Capability for Work and Work Related Activity (LCWRA) sharper.
The Department has not made an assessment of whether this led to rising LCWRA claims. Although, in their “Welfare trends” report for October 2024, the Office for Budget Responsibility did mention this issue. Specifically, the OBR noted an increase of people’s claims to incapacity benefits being approved from 2018-19 to 2022-23, nearly entirely in the more severe incapacity group. They say that this might be in part explained by the reduced generosity of the 2017 policy for the less severe incapacity group creating higher incentives to be placed in the more severe group, as well as a reflection in claimants having more serious health conditions than in the past.

Incontinence: Men
Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Tuesday 18th March 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with the Health and Safety Executive on the provision of waste disposal bins in male toilets for people experiencing incontinence due to (a) prostate cancer treatment and (b) other medical conditions. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Officials are working across the Government to deal with this important issue. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is reviewing the Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and guidance of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 regarding provision of disposal facilities in workplace toilets. This work is included within the Government’s wider plans under Make Work Pay, and HSE will hold appropriate consultation in due course. |

Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Tuesday 18th March 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to increase funding support for towns and coastal communities. Answered by Alex Norris - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The Government will set out a refreshed approach to local growth funding at the multi-year Spending Review in the Spring.

Humanitarian Aid: Ukraine
Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Wednesday 12th March 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has considered tax breaks for companies that donate humanitarian products to Ukraine. Answered by Emma Reynolds - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) The Corporation Tax regime includes provisions that allow the deduction of qualifying charitable donations from a company’s total taxable profits for the accounting period in which they are paid. Following certain conditions, companies are also able to obtain tax relief for donations of trading stock of medical supplies and/or medical equipment for humanitarian purposes. This could include eligible donations made to support Ukraine.
We sincerely appreciate the dedication and effort UK businesses are demonstrating in their support for Ukraine. The UK is at the forefront to providing military, financial and humanitarian support to Ukraine for as long as it takes. The UK has committed £12.8bn in military, humanitarian and economic support to Ukraine since February 2022. The UK will continue to honour the PM’s commitment on 10 July which provides Ukraine with £3bn of military support p.a. until 2030/31 or for as long as needed. Support from UK businesses to Ukraine is invaluable, and we are committed to strengthening these ties to help in securing a lasting peace for Ukraine. |

Health Services: Standards
Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Thursday 13th March 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which Minister has oversight of the Getting It Right First Time programme. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme is a national NHS England programme designed to improve the treatment and care of patients through an in-depth review of services and benchmarking, and by presenting a data-driven evidence base to support change. This key Government priority sits within my departmental portfolio. The GIRFT team is working with systems and regions to help the National Health Service embed best practice in elective care, to reduce waiting times, improve patient outcomes and, ultimately, to support delivery of the commitment that 92% of all patients will wait no longer than 18 weeks from referral-to-treatment by March 2029. Responsibility for the delivery, implementation, and funding of healthcare services ultimately rests with the appropriate NHS commissioning body. All service changes should be based on clear evidence that they will deliver better outcomes for patients. All substantial planned service change is subject to a full public consultation and must meet the Government and NHS England’s ‘tests’ to ensure good decision making. |

National Insurance Credits
Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Thursday 13th March 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the policy paper entitled Simplification update – January 2024, published 16 January 2024, when she plans to implement changes to National Insurance credits for parents who did not claim Child Benefit. Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) I can confirm that the new National Insurance (NI) credit for parents who did not claim child benefit due to the High-Income Child Benefit Charge will be implemented as planned from April 2026 to ensure that affected parents and carers do not miss out on building entitlement to the State Pension. |

Ukraine: Children
Asked by: Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat - Torbay) Thursday 13th March 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to reports that around 20,000 Ukrainian children have been forcibly deported or transferred into Russia or Russian-held territories, what steps his Department is taking to help Ukraine reunite children with their families. Answered by Stephen Doughty - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The UK continues to track Russia's deportation of Ukrainian children. Our efforts focus on communications, sanctions, and accountability. We have raised this issue at the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the UN and the Human Rights Council. The UK participated in the most recent meeting of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children in October 2024 and continues to work closely with the Ukrainian government. In November 2024, we announced a third round of sanctions targeting those attempting to forcibly deport and indoctrinate Ukrainian children. We were pleased to see another group of children returned via Qatari mediation in September 2024, and are grateful for Qatar's continued engagement. |
