answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2019 answer text <p>Vaccinations are a key part of the prevention strategy in the NHS Long Term Plan. To help increase immunisation uptake, NHS England will undertake a fundamental review of general practitioner vaccinations and immunisation standards, funding, and procurement. This will support the goal of improving immunisation coverage, using local coordinators to target variation and improve groups and areas with low vaccines uptake.</p><p> </p><p>By 2022, technology will better support clinicians. The Long Term Plan states that an integrated child protection system will replace many legacy systems, to help deliver a screening and vaccination solution that is worthy of the NHS's world leading services.</p><p> </p><p>Prevention is at the heart of the NHS Long Term Plan, which is backed by a £20.5 billion per year increase in funding for the NHS in England by 2023/24. Immunisation is a key preventative measure and the Long Term Plan commits to prioritising improvements in childhood immunisation and immunisation uptake.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 23/01/2019 16:11:39 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of enabling women under the age of 25 to undergo cervical screening.
tabling member constituency	Birkenhead
tabling member printed	Frank Field
uin	208783
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2019 answer text <p>Almost all cervical cancers are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) which is linked to the development of the disease. With the high uptake of the HPV vaccination in adolescent girls since 2008, there is little evidence for lowering the age of cervical screening, as those born since September 1994 will turn 25 this year and become eligible for routine screening.</p><p> </p><p>The United Kingdom National Screening Committee looked at the starting age for cervical screening in 2012 and recommended that screening should be offered from the age of 25. This was based on the evidence that screening below this age would in fact cause more harm than benefit.</p><p> </p><p>Younger women often undergo natural and harmless changes in the cervix that screening would identify as cervical abnormalities. In the vast majority of cases these abnormalities will resolve themselves without any need for treatment.</p><p> </p><p>A number of questions and answers have been written to help explain the rationale for starting screening at age 25 rather than 20.
