As we have seen during the pandemic, they have played a vital role in providing intermediate care for patients not yet well enough to return home and play a much broader role year-in year-out to the communities they serve. While it is for local communities to make decisions on specific local services, we are clear that our community hospitals should continue to play a central role in healthcare provision for many years to come.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 13/04/2021 15:00:39 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

As well as a £325 million investment in diagnostic machines, we have provided an additional £1 billion to the National Health Service to tackle the elective backlog,and ensure there is sufficient capacity in place to diagnose and treat the additional people coming into the system. To encourage patients to come forward to their general practitioner if they have symptoms, we launched the successful ‘Help us Help you’ campaign. NHS England also recently published Priorities and Operational Planning Guidance, highlighting that cancer recovery remains a priority for the NHS as a whole. Systems should meet the increased level of referrals and treatment required to address the shortfall in number of first treatments by March 2022.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 13/04/2021 15:40:52 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

tabling member printed	Ben Bradley
uin	176030
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/04/2021 answer text <p>Non-regulatory options have been considered as insufficient to reduce the excess purchasing and therefore overconsumption of products high in fat, salt and sugar (HFSS). Previous voluntary actions by retailers, including through measures such as the public health responsibility deal, had limited impact. Businesses have also stated that voluntary action on promotions is not feasible.</p><p>We want to create a level playing field in which stores that make voluntary progress are no longer penalised. The response to the consultation on restricting promotions of HFSS food and drink made clear the Government’s intention to use powers in the Food Safety Act (FSA) 1990 to lay secondary legislation before Parliament by mid-2021. That position remains.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 13/04/2021 08:57:45 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
