answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2020 answer text <p>No assessment has been made. The full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on early diagnosis rates or outcomes will not be known until the pandemic is over, and until the data is fully available.</p><p>NHS England and NHS Improvement is continuing the roll-out Rapid Diagnostic Centres (RDCs) across the country to bring together diagnostic equipment and expertise. RDCs will initially focus on diagnosing cancers where patients often present with non-specific symptoms, such as blood cancer, and may go to their general practitioner many times before being sent for appropriate tests. RDC compliant pathways should be in place for all patients, including children, by 2023/24.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 09/11/2020 11:59:56 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 48792 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
