answer text <p>We recognise that there is room for improvement in cancer outcomes for older patients. The independent Cancer Taskforce recognised the needs of older cancer patients as a key theme in its report, and NHS England is working with partners across the cancer community to better understand both the causes of the variation in cancer outcomes, and looking at action we can take now to address it. NHS England is also in the process of developing metrics to track improvements in cancer outcomes for older people as part of the development of the cancer dashboard recommended by the independent Cancer Taskforce.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>There were 131 partners in the Responsibility Deal Alcohol Network, who signed up to a range of voluntary Responsibility Deal pledges on alcohol and committed to help people drink within the lower-risk alcohol guidelines.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Under the previous Government, Responsibility Deal Alcohol Network partners committed to a 2012 pledge to remove 1 billion units of alcohol sold annually from the market by December 2015, principally through improving consumer choice of lower alcohol products. A 2014 interim monitoring report of progress against this pledge estimated that between 2011 and 2013 the number of units of alcohol removed from the market exceeded this target two years ahead of target date, showing there was a reduction of 1.3 billion units due to reductions in alcohol by volume of alcohol products.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Also under the previous Government, Responsibility Deal Alcohol Network partners committed to a pledge to have 80% of bottles and cans displaying unit content, the Chief Medical Officer’s (CMO) lower-risk guidelines and by the end of 2013 a warning about drinking when pregnant. A 2014 independent report by Campden BRI found that 79.3% of labels provided all three elements correctly. The report also assessed market share by total amount of alcohol sold to allow comparison of progress since 2008 (trend data). This found that unit information increased by 22%; the CMO’s lower-risk drinking guidelines by 314%; and pregnancy warnings boosted by 122%.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The UK has made it a criminal offence to deal dishonestly in tainted cultural property and issued guidelines to help UK dealers and auction houses consider the relevant issues such as ensuring good provenance of cultural objects in which they deal.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government believes that regulating trade in art and antiquities is primarily the responsibility of the art and antiquities trade itself.
