Install php-fpm 5.6 on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04)

Question

I can see various solutions available for php5.6, but is it possible to get php-fpm 5.6 for Xenial?

Or do I have to manually download and build the package?

php-fpm is not contained within the ppa:ondrej/php repository — Chris Stryczynski, Jun 19 '17 at 16:19
After adding the repo $ php-fpm results in bash: php-fpm: command not found. So it seems the Ubuntu repo builds this as a separate package (same for PHP7). — Chris Stryczynski, Jun 19 '17 at 18:45
Hmm might be on the right track here! I tried php5.6-fpm and it's downloading! — Chris Stryczynski, Jun 19 '17 at 18:55
Though why wouldn't this package be shown in the Overview of published packages list though (https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php)? — Chris Stryczynski, Jun 19 '17 at 18:57
