	tabling member constituency	North East Hampshire

	uin	6853
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2023 answer text <p>The sale of oral tobacco, such as Snus, is banned in the United Kingdom under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016.</p><p>Vapes are less harmful than smoking because they do not contain tobacco, and therefore can be an effective tool in supporting smoking cessation. Vaping is already estimated to contribute to an extra 50,000 to 70,000 smoking quits per year in England. Ensuring that vapes continue to be available to current adult smokers is vital to reducing smoking rates.</p><p>However, the number of children using vapes has tripled in the past 3 years. To tackle this, the Tobacco and Vapes Bill will introduce measures to restrict the appeal and availability of vapes to children.</p><p>To support this, we recently consulted on a set of proposals to reduce youth vaping, ensuring we get the balance right between protecting our children and supporting adult smokers to quit. We will respond to the consultation in the coming weeks.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 20/12/2023 17:49:18 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2023 answer text <p>The NHS Long Term Plan set an ambition that, by 2028, the proportion of cancers diagnosed at stages 1 and 2 will rise from around half now to three-quarters of cancer patients. Achieving this will mean that, from 2028, 55,000 more people each year will survive their cancer for at least five years after diagnosis. Due to the nature of the ambition, this only includes stageable cancers.</p><p>To find and diagnosed all cancers earlier, NHS England is streamlining cancer pathways to support diagnosis within 28 days by implementing non-symptom specific (NSS) pathways for patients who present with non-specific symptoms that can indicate several cancers, as well as implementing timed cancer pathways.</p><p>Since 2019, cancer alliances have been developing new dedicated urgent diagnostic pathways for these patients so that every cancer patient with concerning, but non-specific symptoms, gets the right tests at the right time in as few visits as possible. By March 2024, the NSS programme will achieve full population coverage across England for non-specific symptom pathways as set out in the 2023/24 NHS Planning Guidance.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 22/11/2023 11:10:53 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
