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, including MRI scans, endoscopy as well as lung and mammography screening, and improve digital diagnostics.</p><p>Growth in the MRI asset base and increased use of MRI acceleration software is creating additional capacity for approximately 572,000 MRI examinations per annum within the NHS in England.</p><p>The Department and NHS England have taken steps to improve the treatment of invasive lobular breast cancer (ILBC) but are aware that more needs to be done. In September 2022, the National Cancer Audit Collaborating Centre announced funding from NHS England and the Welsh Government of £5.4 million to support delivery of six new national cancer audits. Two of these focus on breast cancer, one on primary and one on metastatic, and include ILBC.</p><p>Additionally, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) supports breast cancer research funded by research partners in the charity and public sectors. Over the last five years, the NIHR Clinical Research Network has supported 10 ILBC-related studies.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 08/02/2024 15:42:40 question first ministerially corrected 08/02/2024 16:01:34 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson previous answer version 16540 answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2024 answer text <p>Approximately 89% of prescriptions are dispensed free of charge. People on a low income who do not qualify for an exemption from prescription charges can seek help under the NHS Low Income Scheme, which provides help with health costs on an income-related basis. For those who do not qualify for an exemption, prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) allow people to obtain as many prescriptions as they need for a set cost. A three-monthly PPC or an annual PPC will save people money if they need four or more items in three months or <ins class="ministerial">12</ins> <del class="ministerial">13</del> or more items in 12 months.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 26/01/2024 09:57:19 question first ministerially corrected 01/02/2024 15:51:08 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 13571 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
