Children: Mental Health Services
Asked by: Tom Gordon (Liberal Democrat - Harrogate and Knaresborough) Thursday 11th December 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 15 October 2025 to Question 78154 on Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund, what assessment her Department has been made of the potential economic impact of funding additional therapies beyond the fair access limit on local authorities; and if her Department holds data on how many families require therapy beyond the fair access limit. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The department continues to monitor and assess the impact of the changes to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (ASGSF) and is engaging with stakeholders. Decisions to fund additional therapy beyond the fair access limit rest with individual local authorities. This financial year, we have invested £50 million in the ASGSF, giving adopted and kinship children access to therapeutic services that stabilise placements and address complex needs. The government has introduced the Families First Partnership programme, with an extra £547 million, bringing total funding to £2.4 billion over the next three years. We are also investing nearly £1.5 billion to improve family services and early years education, including £500 million for Best Start Family Hubs between 2026 and 2029. Local authorities should decide how best to use these resources to support adoptive and kinship families. The department does not collect data on how many families require therapy beyond the fair access limit. |

NHS: Staff
Asked by: Tom Gordon (Liberal Democrat - Harrogate and Knaresborough) Thursday 18th December 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the 2024 National NHS Staff Survey Results, if he will publish data on staff wellbeing indicators for (a) clinical radiology and (b) clinical oncology, including the data by specialty for (i) q10b on additional paid hours worked, (ii) q10c on additional unpaid hours worked, (iii) q11c on work related stress and (iv) q12b on burnout. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department does not hold this data nor are there any plans to collect NHS Staff Survey data from any additional occupational groups. As reported in the 2024 NHS Staff Survey, 30.24% of respondents reported having felt burnout because of their work. Data taken from the NHS Staff Survey cannot however be used to identity trends in specialities. |
