answer text <p>The NHS Long Term Plan published in January 2019 sets out the Government’s ambitions to see 55,000 more people surviving cancer for five years in England each year from 2028 and three quarters of all cancers detected at an early stage by 2028. To achieve these targets, we will need to make significant progress on survival across all cancers, including pancreatic cancer.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England will shortly be introducing a Faster Diagnostic Standard of 28 days for all cancer patients which, when taken together with the 62-day referral to treatment standard, will mean that all patients should expect to start their treatment within 34 days of diagnosis. This is a maximum, and trusts should continue to treat patients more quickly particularly where there is a strong clinical need.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The NHS Long Term Plan, published on 7 January 2019, sets out a vital strategic framework to ensure that over the next 10 years the National Health Service will have the staff it needs.</p><p> </p><p>My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has commissioned Baroness Dido Harding, working closely with Sir David Behan, to lead a number of programmes to engage with key NHS interests to develop a detailed workforce implementation plan. These programmes will consider detailed proposals to grow the workforce, including consideration of additional staff and skills required, build a supportive working culture in the NHS and ensure first rate leadership for NHS staff.</p><p> </p><p>Radiotherapy degree courses are three years in length, therefore students affected by the changes to the education funding system from 2017 will not have completed courses funded by loans to enable an assessment of the effect of the removal of bursaries on this profession.</p><p> </p><p>The Cancer Workforce Plan Phase 1, included a target of upskilling 300 more radiographers in image interpretation and reporting by 2021. Currently, 88 individuals have started training programmes towards this, 62 will start in January, and a further 150 during 2019/20.</p><p> </p><p>Phase 2 of the Cancer Workforce Plan will follow the Workforce Implementation Plan published later in 2019.</p>

Regular bowel cancer screening has been shown to reduce the risk of dying from bowel cancer by 16%, and around 60% of bowel cancer patients now survive five years or more compared to around 25% 40 years ago. Over 95% of men and women survive for five years or more if their bowel cancer is diagnosed at stage one.</p><p> </p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan includes a proposal to modernise the bowel cancer screening programme to detect more cancers earlier and faecal immunochemical testing at 120ug/g will be integrated into the programme from April 2019.</p>
