answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2020 answer text <p>Cancer Alliances work very closely with NHS England and NHS Improvement, Public Health England (PHE) and local systems to understand the numbers attending screening, particularly where there is low attendance, for example, in the South East, and to take action to increase uptake. These actions include health promotion messaging for primary care to encourage women who are eligible to attend their screening appointment and, most recently, the promotion of COVID-secure pathways that have been developed to reassure women that appointments are still safe to attend.</p><p>Nationally, breast screening providers have been encouraged to use methods such as text messaging to remind women about their breast screening invitation and encourage them to attend. NHS England and NHS Improvement and PHE have been working with Cancer Alliances on the ‘Help us Help you’ campaign and will be running a more targeted campaign in January 2021 to address some of the barriers to screening uptake.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 20/10/2020 13:24:18 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 54371 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

They are working with Public Health England (PHE) and local communities to develop specific approaches to raise awareness of the importance of early detection and attending screening appointments in these areas.</p><p>The approaches include providing information in multiple languages that focus on dispelling misconceptions about cancer; offering female-only appointments to support cultural sensitivities; and collaborating with charity partners to deliver cultural sensitivity training to improve communications with diverse populations. There has also been a focus on supporting improved uptake for those with learning disabilities through the provision of longer appointments, easy to read and pictorial communications, and ensuring learning disability is recorded within the patient’s care record. Evening screening appointments have also been offered to improve access for working women.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 20/10/2020 13:30:34 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 54373 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2020 answer text <p>Breast screening services are focusing on restoring appointments following the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Services have a responsibility to reduce health inequalities, and considerations of equality of access have been included in the recovery process.</p><p>Local services have been able to choose whether to implement open appointments or maintain fixed timed appointments, as services are restored. This choice reflects the needs of the local breast screening population: the service must evidence that their given approach better supports the recovery of appointments and the reduction of inequalities. For this reason, services in Thames Valley have decided not to implement open invitations as part of wider efforts to encourage equality in screening uptake.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 20/10/2020 13:43:53 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 54374 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
