£500,000 boost for action to reduce youth homelessness
11/06/07 19:04
A £500,000 fund is today being awarded to innovative
schemes to tackle youth homelessness, ranging from
crash pads for teenagers to supported lodgings and a
text message service offering housing options.
Housing Minister Yvette Cooper announced that 27
local authorities and partnerships would receive the
investment for their plans to reduce youth
homelessness.
National Statistics released today show that new cases of homelessness reported by local authorities have fallen by 17 per cent in comparison to the same period last year to 17,230 - the lowest level since the early 1980s. However, more than a third of new cases of homelessness last year were young people aged under 25. The funding builds on a package of measures announced last year in the Government's National Youth Homelessness Scheme, including a new target to end the use of bed and breakfast accommodation for 16 and 17 year olds by 2010.
Projects being funded include mediation schemes to resolve family relationship breakdowns, which is one of the biggest causes of homelessness, and supported lodging schemes which provide short-term respite support to young people, giving them a place to stay whilst they work through problems and increase the chances they can return to the family home.

Rebuilding the NHS: A new generation of healthcare facilities
05/06/07 17:15
Capital expenditure on healthcare facilities has
increased from around £1.1 billion in 1997-98 to
around £5.5 billion in 2007-08. This record
investment has not just replaced old buildings with
new ones. For this Government, the investment has
served three key purposes:
• Improving the patient environment and experience in terms of more single rooms and better designed hospitals
• Modernising services - trusts have to reassess how they shape and configure their services and patient pathways, taking on board the provision of new IT, new equipment and new clinical areas
• Improving access and offering better choice by delivering a whole new generation of facilities so patients have more control over when, where and how they are seen
