question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the findings in the Red Quadrant report entitled, Building the Right Support: An analysis of funding flows, published by her Department, in July 2022, whether she is taking steps to improve financial oversight of expenditure for the Building the Right Support programme.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2024 answer text <p>In our response to the Health and Social Care Committee’s report, The Treatment of Autistic People and People with Learning Disabilities published 27 July 2022, we noted the wide range of capital and revenue funding sources, as well as the range of support that a person who is, or is at risk of being, admitted to a mental health hospital may draw on. This makes assessing the costs and expenditure associated with the Building the Right Support (BtRS) programme practically challenging. The response, which referenced RedQuadrant’s report, set out that we are clear that there must be credible alternatives to inpatient care, so that people can live independent, fulfilled lives in their community, without financial incentives or disincentives which prevent this from happening.</p><p>We recognise the case for improving how data is collected, in order to better understand the specific costs related to BtRS. That is why the BtRS Delivery Board set up a Funding Flows task and finish group to look at improving national oversight of the National Health Service and local authority spend on services, and support for this group of people.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 26/02/2024 19:18:40 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield previous answer version 19606 answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

uin	15027
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2024 answer text <p>Evidence shows that screening people at a younger age would enable more bowel cancers to be picked up at an earlier stage, where treatment is likely to be more effective and survival chances improved. Based on the UK National Screening Committee’s (UK NSC) last review of the bowel cancer screening programme, since April 2021, the National Health Service in England has been gradually reducing the age for bowel screening from 60 years old down to 50 years old.</p><p> </p><p>Modelling work commissioned by the UK NSC at the time concluded that introducing the faecal immunochemical test (FIT) for home testing in the 50 to 74 year old age range, at as low a threshold as possible, would be the most cost effective approach. Work continues in this area to ensure that lowering the age of bowel cancer screening down to 50 years old is done with workforce planning and capacity. Further details of the evidence around screening at a younger age and the modelling work, is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://view-health-screening-recommendations.service.gov.uk/bowel-cancer/" target="_blank">https://view-health-screening-recommendations.service.gov.uk/bowel-cancer/</a></p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 26/02/2024 10:11:01 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
