The NHS Talking Therapies workforce includes staff employed by National Health Service providers and also staff in NHS-commissioned independent, local authority, and voluntary sector providers.

The data is not available for Lambeth and Southwark as local data by service is not held centrally.

The draft requirements of, and costs associated with, the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme will be published in a consultation and options assessment shortly. Heat network regulation is designed to be proportionate and to reduce costs in the longer term.

Further details on funding allocations for heat network schemes including the Heat Network Efficiency Scheme will be set out in the Warm Homes Plan later this year.

The Government is committed to delivering nationwide gigabit connectivity as soon as possible. By 2025 the government is targeting a minimum of 85% gigabit-capable coverage.

Today, less than 9.6% of premises in Camberwell and Peckham and 10.8% of premises in Southwark specifically do not have access to a gigabit-capable network; meaning the overwhelming majority - 90.4% of premises in Camberwell and Peckham and 89.2% of premises in Southwark - already have gigabit coverage.

In order to further improve connectivity in Camberwell, Peckham and Southwark, we have published the Digital Connectivity Portal, which offers extensive guidance to help local authorities facilitate broadband deployment. This includes technical information on the application of telecoms legislation; practical examples of best practice such as the Street Works Toolkit for working in the country’s highways; and wayleave templates for telecoms operators to gain access to public sector land.

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology officials regularly facilitate meetings and workshops between local government and the broadband industry, to build relationships that foster more frictionless deployment. The four sub-regional partnerships across London have been vital in coordinating this work. For example, Central London Forward, which represents Southwark, has actively worked with the Government on a number of initiatives.

More generally, we have made it as attractive as possible for firms to build their networks in the UK by removing barriers to rollout and working with Ofcom to promote competition and investment. As a result, there is now a thriving market of over 80 providers investing nearly £35bn rolling out gigabit broadband all over the UK.

As of 19 October, 32,908 doses of monkeypox vaccine have been administered in the London area, of a total 48,801 administered in England. The UK Health Security Agency has procured over 150,000 doses of the vaccine used for monkeypox, with the final deliveries of vaccine expected by the end of October 2022. This has provided adequate stock of vaccine to cover the eligible vaccination cohort.

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. We need to make sure that we are protecting people from HIV.

Will my right hon. Friend congratulate my constituent, the jewellery designer Monica Vinader, whose roots are in North Norfolk and whose head office is on the Holkham estate, on winning the 2022 Queen’s award for enterprise and sustainable development? Does she agree how wonderful it is to see women in business promoting ethical and sustainable business practices around the country?

The information requested is not currently available. In January 2022, we have increased procurement of and delivery capacity for lateral flow device tests. We expect to have distributed 90 million tests a week in the United Kingdom through all channels. We now have the capacity to distribute up to 12 million tests a week in England through the pharmacy programme.

There is no shortage of lateral flow tests and the Government will continue to procure enough stock to meet ongoing demand, including in the Lambeth and Southwark areas, through our national and local delivery channels.

In the light of the current exceptionally high demand for COVID-19 lateral flow tests, we have significantly increased distribution capacity, to make sure we can meet demand for polymerase chain reaction tests as well as lateral flow tests to be sent to people’s homes. Lateral flow devices can also be collected from local pharmacies and some community sites.

The National Health Service in Lambeth and Southwark has co-designed and co-produced a culturally appropriate peer support and advocacy service operating from Living Well Centres where community mental health teams are based.

Additional investment from NHS England and NHS Improvement’s community mental health transformation programme is being utilised to build additional capacity and provide more early, preventative and personalised support for the Lambeth and Southwark communities.

We announced an additional £500 million in 2021/22 to support people with a variety of mental health conditions.

Local systems are working with their partner organisations, including clinical commissioning groups and local authorities in Lambeth and Southwark, to agree their mental health finance planning for financial year 2021/22.

Pupil premium rates will be maintained in 2021-22. We expect to increase pupil premium funding nationally to over £2.5 billion, and a typical school can expect an increase in their pupil premium funding. Data is not yet available on the impact of using the October 2020 census to determine eligibility. Basing pupil premium funding for 2021-22 on October 2020 census data, instead of using the January census, brings the pupil premium in line with how the rest of the core schools’ budget is calculated and provides earlier clarity for schools on their allocations.

Pupil premium will continue to be based on “Ever6 FSM”, whereby all pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM) at the time of the October census, or at any point in the previous six years, will attract pupil premium funding. As a result, we expect a typical school to see an increase in pupil premium funding from 2020-21 to 2021-22 as more children have become eligible for FSM as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. We will confirm pupil premium allocations for the financial year 2021-22 in June 2021.

Alongside the pupil premium, we also intend to change the date for the FSM6 factor in the schools national funding formula (NFF). Without a change in dates, the FSM6 factor in the 2022-23 NFF would be based on January 2020 census data. Using the October 2020 census data instead will shorten the FSM6 funding lag in the NFF by nine months, and increase the amount of funding allocated through the FSM6 factor in 2022-23, as FSM eligibility increased significantly between January and October last year.

In addition to pupil premium funding, on 24 February 2021 the Government also announced a further £700 million package on top of the £1 billion COVID-19 catch-up already provided. This package includes £302 million for a one-off recovery premium which will be allocated to schools based on the same methodology as the pupil premium. In this way, schools with more disadvantaged pupils will receive larger amounts. The recovery premium also includes a “floor” to ensure that no primary school will receive less than £2000 and no secondary school less than £6000.
