	uin	HL4105
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2024 answer text <p>The national IT system for the NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme does not routinely collect data that could identify groups that have a lower-than-average uptake rate of the fecal immunochemical bowel cancer screening test.</p><p>Research has found that groups which are less likely to take part in bowel screening include men, people from ethnic minority backgrounds, and people in more deprived areas. Physical or mental health conditions can also make carrying out a home test more difficult.</p><p>NHS England has started work to improve its national screening IT systems through the Digital Transformation of Screening programme. This will enable screening providers to record protected characteristics, to more accurately identify groups with the lowest uptake, and target initiatives to improve uptake.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 01/05/2024 14:23:51 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

However, when things go wrong, and passengers are unable to make informed decisions about their ticket purchases, for example due to unannounced timetable changes arising from emergency engineering works (including during holiday periods), passengers are entitled to claim a refund. Condition 30 of the National Rail Conditions of Travel obliges train companies to refund passengers when they are unable to honour the original timetabled journey. No administration fee will be charged for these refunds.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 21/12/2017 12:18:13 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2015 answer text <p>As the Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), has said, Assad has been one of Daesh’s most effective recruiting sergeants. His regime’s brutal suppression of the Syrian people, including through the use of chemical weapons, has created the chaos and instability in which Daesh has been able to thrive. Defeating Daesh will require action on a number of fronts including, ultimately, a political transition to a new Syrian government which is able to protect the Syrian people and with whom the international community can partner against Daesh.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 10/12/2015 15:03:11 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
