To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which organisation will provide Primary Care Network services for GP practices in Leicester.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which organisation will provide Primary Care Network services for GP practices in Leicester.
General practitioner (GP) practices within Leicester have been working together over the last few months to develop their proposed Primary Care Network (PCN) footprints. Initial proposals were discussed by Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group’s management and lay member group and GP Reference Group in April 2019. A list of proposed PCNs and their member practices was published in May and is available at the following link:
PCNs will be formally established for 1 July.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many GP practices in Leicester have joined the NHS Primary Care Network.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many GP practices in Leicester have joined the NHS Primary Care Network.
Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is in the process of finalising the structure for the Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in Leicester with general practitioner practices. PCNs are agreed for the majority of practices in the area. It is expected that confirmation for the remaining small number of practices not yet signed up will be given before the deadline of 30 June. As soon as the full structure is agreed, it will be communicated with the Leicester population and stakeholders. The CCG’s expectation is that all practices will be part of a PCN.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate his Department has made of the number of homeless in Leicester in (a) 2015, (b) 2016, (c) 2017 and (d) 2018.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate his Department has made of the number of homeless in Leicester in (a) 2015, (b) 2016, (c) 2017 and (d) 2018.
Concerning homelessness, latest data suggests that for the following financial years the numbers of households which had a main duty acceptance in Leicester are as follows:
2014/15 | 108 |
2015/16 | 129 |
2016/17 | 100 |
2017/18 | 80 |
National breakdowns are available here:
There is a difference between those defined as homeless and those considered rough sleepers, statistics of which were released on 31 January 2019. Rough sleepers are those people sleeping, about to bed down, or actually bedded down in the open air (such as on the streets, in tents or in bus shelters) - as well as people in buildings or other places not designed for habitation.
National street counts and intelligence driven estimates of people sleeping rough in England are conducted in autumn every year. All figures are independently verified by Homeless Link. The most recent data from the autumn 2018 annual street count and estimate returned a total figure of 4,677 rough sleepers, a decrease of 2 per cent from 2017.
From 2015-2018 Leicester have reported the following as their number of rough sleepers:
2015 | 22 |
2016 | 36 |
2017 | 31 |
2018 | 31 |

This Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy which sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. The Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.

No specific assessment has been made. NHS England has published service specifications for the neurological care of both children and adults which include exemplar service specifications for neuromuscular conditions. They set out what providers must have in place to offer evidence-based, safe and effective services. This includes access to physiotherapy and respiratory services.

Overall, crime recorded by police forces in England and Wales increased by 11% in the year ending March 2018. The independent Office for National Statistics (ONS) has said that this increase is largely due to improvements in crime recording by police forces and the increased willingness of victims to report crime to the police. The ONS has also noted that there have been genuine rises in some low-volume, high-harm categories of violence, notably knife crime, gun crime and homicide. Our Serious Violence Strategy, published on 9 April, puts greater focus on steering young people away from a life of crime, while continuing to promote a strong law enforcement response.
The most recent national crime figures are published by the Office for National Statistic in ‘Crime in England and Wales: year ending March 2018’ (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/bulletins/crimeinenglandandwales/yearendingmarch2018).
Sunday’s explosion in Leicester has been a terrible shock to the local community, and I know that all our thoughts are with the families and friends of those who tragically lost their lives and those who were injured. I thank the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition for praising our incredible emergency services, who continue to work in extremely difficult circumstances. Will the Prime Minister also pay tribute to our local residents, who have pulled together to support one another, showing great strength and courage, and will she make sure we get all the support we need to get to the bottom of what happened and to help my constituents put their lives back together?

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what structured education relating to the Diabetes Transformation Fund has taken place in Leicester; and what plans there are for the future deployment of such education in Leicester.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what structured education relating to the Diabetes Transformation Fund has taken place in Leicester; and what plans there are for the future deployment of such education in Leicester.
A total of £800,000 was granted (over three years) across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland in April 2017 from the Diabetes Transformation Fund.
A total of £383,000 was put aside to focus on structured diabetes education to maximise the number of people receiving tailored education. West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Leicester City CCG, and Rutland CCG will focus on encouraging more young people aged 18-25 to take up diabetes education courses, as well as making available tailored services for women planning on becoming pregnant.
The additional Structured Education offer that is currently being funded by NHS England transformation money will need to be fully evaluated towards the end of the funding period in 2018-19 before a decision on future commissioning is taken.
