Does my right hon. Friend agree that although money for schools is very welcome, further education and apprenticeships are probably the best enablers of social mobility, giving people a second or third chance? Will he ensure that apprenticeships and further education have the cash that they desperately need?

By October 2012, there will be mechanisms in place to produce Joint Strategic Needs Assessments and Joint Health and Well-being Strategies to inform clinical commissioning group
commissioning plans. Health and Well-being boards are where all commissioners come together to form a common understanding of outcomes, identify groups in need of support, listen to what matters to people locally, collaborate and hold each other to account. The NHS Commissioning Board is a key local partner of a Health and Well-being board. The NHS Commissioning Board will commission primary care services and will use the health and well-being board to make links with services provided elsewhere in the system, for example, maternity services commissioned by the clinical commissioning groups and health visiting, which is expected to be commissioned by local authorities from 2015.
The Department has made available a range of documents designed to support partnership working for all professionals delivering the Health Child Programme 0-19 years olds. In particular, the ‘The Health Visiting and Midwifery Partnership—pathway for pregnancy and early weeks’, builds on good practice and evidence drawn from the professions and outlines aspirations and support that relate to improved outcomes. This is available at the Department's website:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps his Department is taking to encourage GPs to treat overweight and obese individuals.

We encourage general practitioners to implement guidance from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) on the “Prevention, identification, assessment and management of overweight and obesity in adults and children” and, where appropriate, implement their local obesity care pathway to ensure that patients receive the support they need to manage their weight.

Infertility treatment services will be commissioned by Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) with the NHS Commissioning Board providing oversight and support. This support will include the provision of supportive resources and tools on how CCGs can collaborate to commission infertility services.

It will bring the focus closer to home. I would expect the shadow Minister to welcome this change, because GPs will now be much more acutely aware that registration with them should not automatically entitle people to NHS acute trust care. We are undertaking a review that I will mention...

That is true of all debts. Trusts are not always aware of the rules and the obligations placed on them. Sometimes, they do not have the infrastructure in place to chase such debts and sometimes the costs of chasing debts are greater than the debts themselves, so they write them...

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of whether GPs and paediatricians, when presented with child patients with respiratory conditions, routinely ask the parents of the child whether they smoke around their children.
[106480]
The Department has made no assessment of whether general practitioners and paediatricians, when presented with child patients with respiratory conditions, routinely ask the parents of the child whether they smoke around their children.
We know that exposure to second-hand smoke has an adverse impact on children's respiratory health through a number of conditions. For example, it increases the risk of lower respiratory infections in children, increases the risk of wheezing at all ages and also increases the risk of asthma. The vast majority of that exposure takes place in the home and family cars.
We would, therefore, expect all health care professionals coming in to contact with children presenting with respiratory illness to have appropriate discussions with their parents about the major risk factors, including parental smoking.
A national marketing campaign, including television, radio, magazines and digital media, to encourage smokers not to smoke in their homes and cars was launched on 31 March.

I need to make a little progress. The Bill gives new public health functions to local government. In some cases, the steps that local authorities must take will be prescribed in regulations, which include the provision of sexual health services and abortion services. That will be a duty of local...

I feel that I need to start by saying that this debate is about women; it is not about hon. Members. It is about ensuring that women get the very best possible services that they not only need but deserve. There was much comment and speculation ahead of the debate,...

No, and I thank my hon. Friend for raising the point. The only reason why I took his intervention was that NICE had not been given a mention yet.

I will not, I am afraid. I must make progress. The amendment would not, incidentally, require local authority commissioners of abortion services to comply with NICE recommendations. This does not, of course, mean that NICE has nothing to contribute. Hon. Members may know that it is currently considering a draft...
