	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

If all NATO countries committed to at least 2.5% of their GDP to defence, our collective budget would increase by more than £140 billion.
