Psychological interventions, as defined in the guideline, include cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnotherapy and psychological therapy. The guideline does not recommend reflexology or acupuncture.

NHS England closely monitors the turnaround times for cervical screening against a quality measure which means that 98% of women who are screened should receive their results within two weeks.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>In January 2016, the United Kingdom National Screening Committee (UK NSC) recommended that cytological screening should be replaced with the human papilloma virus (HPV) primary screening test as the first line of screening within UK national cervical screening programmes. Six providers are piloting primary testing for HPV within the National Health Service National Cervical Screening Programme in England, and NHS England has been working in partnership with Public Health England (PHE) to determine the most clinically safe and effective way of implementing this change into the programme by the end of December 2019. The UK NSC reviews its recommendations regularly, usually on a three year cycle.</p><p> </p><p>On the advice of the UK NSC, NHS England is introducing a new easier to use home testing screening kit, which supports early diagnosis of bowel cancer from April 2018. Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) for haemoglobin will replace Faecal Occult Blood testing (FOBt) from April 2018. FIT is likely to increase the uptake of bowel screening by 7%, as evidenced in the FIT pilot in England where the test was found to be more favourable for the public. FIT will contribute to the reduction of inequalities in screening and cancer outcomes. Upon implementation, NHS England will review the opportunities that general practitioners have to help maximise uptake of this screening programme amongst their population. Bowel Scope Screening continues to be rolled out with full roll out anticipated for 2020/21.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England has worked with PHE, charities, academics, patients and carers to develop a new national metric on quality of life, based on the established Patient Reported Outcome Measures questionnaires, which will be tested in five Cancer Alliances from September 2017. Based on evaluation of the testing phase, national roll-out will begin in 2019.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 09/10/2017 11:30:17 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
