answer text <p>Health education is mandated from key stages one to four. One of its overarching objectives is teaching pupils about physical health and mental wellbeing, to give them the information that they need to make good decisions about their own health and wellbeing. This should enable them to recognise what is normal and what is an issue in themselves, and when issues arise, how to seek support as early as possible from appropriate sources.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department is taking forward a scheme of work to modernise the NHS Health Check programme, and to deliver on recommendations from the 2021 review of the programme. We are currently focused on the development and launch of a digital NHS Health Check, to be launched later this year, and rolled out nationally over the next four years. Following the launch of a digital check, the Department will consider the evidence for, and practicality of, expanding the scope of the NHS Health Check. This will include consideration of introducing a wider range of clinical checks, and considering a younger target age group.</p><p>Local authorities can design and deliver NHS Health Checks to suit the needs of their local population. This includes who provides the service, and in what settings it is delivered. In some areas, NHS Health Checks are already delivered in community and workplace settings. To build the evidence of the feasibility and impact of this approach, we are investing up to £10 million into a pilot, to deliver cardiovascular disease checks in workplace settings during 2024/25.</p>

answer text <p>By the end of the Parliament, core Departmental spending will have increased from £140.5 billion in 2019/20 to £193.1 billion in 2024-25, representing a cash increase of £52.6 billion. That is a 37% cash increase in the Department’s total budget between 2019/20 and 2024/25. This means total health and social care spending will continue to grow in real terms between 2019/20 and 2024/25 by 3.4%, which represents the compound annual growth rate in 2022/23 prices.</p><p>The Public Health Grant will increase over the current spending review period, rising to £3.6 billion in 2024/25. Taking the Public Health Grant together with additional grants for drug treatment and start for life services, the funding that the Department provides to local authorities for public health will grow by more than 5% in real terms over the two years 2023/24 and 2024/25. Moreover, from 2024/25 we are investing an additional £70 million per year to support local authority-led stop smoking services, more than doubling current spend on these services, in support of our commitment to deliver a smoke-free generation.</p><p>Funding for prevention services and for screening programmes is also included in the overall 2023/24 National Health Service budget of £172 billion. Furthermore, in July 2023, the Government invested in the launch of a new targeted lung cancer screening programme, which when fully rolled out will detect approximately 9000 cancers earlier each year.</p>

answer text <p>Diagnostic test activity across the 15 test types recorded by NHS England was 25.6 million in the 12 months to September 2023. The data requested for diagnostic tests at six weeks and ten weeks after a referral is not collected by NHS England in the format requests.</p><p>The NHS’ Delivery Plan for tackling the COVID-19 backlog of elective care aims for 95% of patients needing a diagnostic test to receive it within six weeks by March 2025. NHS England aims to increase diagnostic activity to 120% of pre-pandemic levels by March 2025 to support this.</p><p>In the 2021 spending review £2.3 billion was awarded to transform diagnostic services over the next three years. Most of this will help increase the number of Community Diagnostic Centres up to 160 by March 2025, expanding and protecting elective planned diagnostic services. The remainder of the funding will increase capacity for imaging, endoscopy as well as lung and mammography screening, and improve digital diagnostics.</p> more like this
