Concerns were identified with five indicators. The first of these was an indicator about the ability to get a GP appointment, which has consequently been removed from GP IM. Separately, and also after publication, NHS England advised the CQC about concerns with the data that NHS England had provided for four indicators. For three, revisions were needed to the indicator construction to align with other NHS England publications, and for the remaining one there was a data error. Following the discovery of the mistakes, the CQC’s approach has been to apologise, to address the problem, and learn lessons to prevent a repeat occurrence.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CQC is now reviewing the quality assurance of all of its outward facing analyses to ensure any necessary actions are taken to prevent a recurrence of the mistakes made.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>Public Health England’s <em>Be Clear on Cancer</em> “Blood in Pee” campaign to raise awareness of the main symptom of bladder and kidney cancer targets people over the age of 50, as both of these cancers are more prevalent in people over that age. The campaign uses a wide range of media, including national television and radio advertising, to promote the key message “If you notice blood in your pee, even if it’s just the once, tell your doctor” and while this is targeted to an audience aged 50+ it is very likely that it will also be seen by the wider population.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The “Blood in Pee” campaign has run twice at a national level, following successful local and regional pilots. The national campaign ran in October – November 2013 and October – November 2014.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 15/12/2014 16:47:13 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
