	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/04/2021 answer text <p>Cancer is a priority. As well as a £325 million investment in diagnostic machines, we have provided an additional £1 billion to the National Health Service to tackle the elective backlog,and ensure there is sufficient capacity in place to diagnose and treat the additional people coming into the system. To encourage patients to come forward to their general practitioner if they have symptoms, we launched the successful ‘Help us Help you’ campaign. NHS England also recently published Priorities and Operational Planning Guidance, highlighting that cancer recovery remains a priority for the NHS as a whole. Systems should meet the increased level of referrals and treatment required to address the shortfall in number of first treatments by March 2022.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 13/04/2021 15:40:52 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2023 answer text <p>The DWP appointee system gives access to social security benefits only. It does not give access to monies held in Child Trust Funds. Where the child is incapable of accessing the funds themselves, the Mental Capacity Act 2005 provides for how a third party can do that on the child’s behalf, namely, through the Court of Protection. There are no current plans to change this approach.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 13/06/2023 09:12:07 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
