	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2024 answer text <p>No estimate has been made of expected liver cancer mortality rates by the end of 2025. The care of and treatment for patients with cancer, including liver cancer, is a priority for the Government. Early diagnosis of liver cancer is critical to improving rates of survival. NHS England’s Early Diagnosis of Liver Cancer Programme is contributing to the NHS Long Term Plan’s commitment to diagnose 75% of all cancers at stage one or two by 2028. This programme includes three workstreams: improving liver surveillance programmes; community liver health checks pilots; and primary care pilots. Identifying those at risk and ensuring patients are tested and referred to a surveillance programme, where necessary, will lead to improved patient outcomes.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 30/04/2024 09:55:44 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

	uin	23480
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2024 answer text <p>The implantation of a duodenal–jejunal bypass liner, also known as an endo barrier, for managing type 2 diabetes, is not recommended by the NICE, and therefore not available on the National Health Service. Current evidence on the safety and efficacy of the device for managing type 2 diabetes is limited in quality and quantity. For this reason, the NICE recommends that the procedure should only be done as part of a research study. Further information on the NICE guidelines is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ipg518/chapter/1-Recommendations" target="_blank">https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ipg518/chapter/1-Recommendations</a></p><p>The NICE may update the guidance, upon publication of further evidence. The NICE recommends that people with type 2 diabetes receive eight care processes at least annually, to support them to achieve three treatment targets to prevent diabetes related complications. The care processes include checks on blood glucose and body mass index, to support weight management. Delivery of all eight care processes is associated with reduced emergency admissions, amputations, and retinopathy. NHS England commissions two national lifestyle services to support adults with type 2 diabetes to manage their weight and improve their health and wellbeing. These are the NHS Digital Weight Management Programme and the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme. The NICE guidance for the care and management for adults with type 2 diabetes is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng28" target="_blank">https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng28</a></p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 30/04/2024 16:33:44 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
