To support this NHS Digital began formally collecting autism diagnosis waiting time data from mental health provider trusts for the first time through the Mental Health Services Data set in April 2018. Data is submitted on behalf of autism diagnostic services, in line with issued guidance. We expect to publish a report after a year’s data has been collected and analysed, this autumn.

This led to an increase in the turnaround times of cervical screening samples in 2016-17 and 2017-18.</p><p>NHS England is taking steps to make sure the delivery, performance and oversight of screening services meet the high standard NHS patients rightly expect. This includes moving samples around the country to reduce the burden on those laboratories most under pressure. Professor Sir Mike Richards has also been commissioned to undertake a major review of cancer screening as part the NHS Long Term Plan’s renewed drive to improve care and save lives.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 30/04/2019 13:41:00 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
