	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>The National Health Service Cervical Screening Programme currently stops sending invitations for cervical screening after a woman reaches 65, unless they need ongoing surveillance or follow up. This is generally required if a woman has had an abnormal result in any of her three most recent tests or is recommended for early repeats owing to a previous abnormality.</p><p> </p><p>The natural history of cervical cancer means that it is unlikely that women of 65 and over who have been regularly screened and discharged from the programme will go on to develop the disease. We also know that screening becomes more uncomfortable after menopause.</p><p> </p><p>The United Kingdom National Screening Committee (UK NSC) recently reviewed a proposal about the care of women aged 64 exiting the programme. The outcome of this proposal will be published in the UK NSC’s minutes which will be available in six weeks at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/uk-national-screening-committee-uk-nsc" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/uk-national-screening-committee-uk-nsc</a></p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 04/03/2019 17:00:29 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2019 answer text <p>Data is currently being analysed on the number of Holistic Needs Assessments (HNAs) being recorded by National Health Service trusts. This data only became required from April 2018 as part of the Public Health England Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset therefore figures from before this date will be incomplete. A baseline survey of NHS trusts for January to March 2017 indicated that around 30% of blood cancer patients are offered an HNA. Since then, Cancer Alliances have been rolling out HNA along with other personalised care interventions, therefore it is expected that this figure will now be higher.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 17/06/2019 15:33:40 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

	uin	263855
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2019 answer text <p>When a person has a Holistic Needs Assessments (HNA) they are asked to identify any concerns from a checklist which will normally include emotional, relationship and spiritual concerns. People can of course, raise concerns at any time with their general practitioner or hospital team, not just when an HNA is being done. This should lead to actions being agreed in a personalised care and support plan that includes appropriate action to support the person with their psychosocial or mental health needs. For example:</p><p>- Signposting a person to peer support or cancer ‘buddies’ through patient groups, online forums etc;</p><p>- Signposting a person to a cancer support centre such as Maggie’s or a Macmillan Information centre;</p><p>- Providing training in relaxation techniques, problem solving and coping strategies;</p><p>- Referring a person to professional support in the form of emotional and basic psychological support from a clinical nurse specialist, or counselling from a trained professional such as a clinical psychologist; and</p><p>- Referring a person to professional support in the form of services for more serious mental health needs.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 17/06/2019 15:23:12 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
