	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2018 answer text <p>NHS England is committed to transforming cancer care for all cancers, including breast cancer, across the country, and to reducing inequality and promoting equity of access to services. The report recommends improving the use of data: NHS England and Public Health England (PHE) have set up the Cancer Alliance Data, Evidence and Analysis Service, to help drive evidence-based local decisions in the delivery of improved cancer outcomes, using a whole pathway and cross-organisational approach.</p><p> </p><p>On workforce, NHS England is working closely with Health Education England (HEE) following publication in December of the cancer workforce plan, and Cancer Alliances will work with their local HEE offices and regional teams to produce local plans.</p><p> </p><p>On early diagnosis, PHE has launched the ‘Be Clear on Cancer’ Campaign to raise awareness of specific symptoms and encourage those with symptoms to visit their doctor. The latest campaign, launched on 22 February, focuses on breast cancer in people aged over 70.</p><p> </p><p>To improve the uptake of screening, we are continuing to invest in initiatives to help ensure equality of access, including through locally targeted interventions. PHE has produced a new ‘Breast screening: easy guide’, and this, along with other initiatives such as text and general practitioner reminders, are examples of some of the ways which we are getting the information through to women so they can decide whether screening is right for them.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 13/03/2018 15:34:46 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2018 answer text <p>No such assessment has been made. The costs of branded medicines are controlled by the Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme and the statutory scheme for branded medicines. For unbranded generic medicines, the Department encourages competition between suppliers to keep prices down. In primary care, community pharmacies are incentivised to source products at the lowest possible cost and in secondary care competitive tenders ensure value-for-money to the National Health Service. Recent research published in the Milbank Quarterly demonstrated that the United Kingdom pays considerably less for unbranded generic medicines than other countries with a comparable income level.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 14/03/2018 11:36:13 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
