	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>Responsibility for improving outcomes for people with cancer is a shared responsibility between the Department, Public Health England and NHS England, working in partnership with local authorities, strategic clinical networks and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). NHS services for pancreatic cancer have been significantly improved across all CCGs in recent years. This includes clearer diagnostic pathways; decision making by specialist multi-disciplinary teams; and the centralisation of pancreas surgery within specialist teams. Further improvements in the care for people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer include early surgery, avoidance of preoperative biliary stenting where possible and increasing the proportion of patients who receive chemotherapy.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, NHS England has published a service specification for pancreatic cancer which clearly defines what it expects to be in place for providers to offer evidence-based, safe and effective pancreatic cancer services, wherever they are located. This service specification has been developed by specialised clinicians, commissioners, expert patients and public health representatives to describe core and developmental service standards.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine grouped question UIN 113113 question first answered 20/11/2017 12:28:00 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
