answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2015 answer text <p>The Government is committed to working to eliminate child poverty and improving life chances for children.</p><br /><p>We are clear that the existing low-income measures do not drive the right action to tackle the root causes of child poverty. They simply deal with the symptoms.</p><br /><p>We are now setting out a new way to drive effective action and make a real difference in the lives of disadvantaged children. Our proposals in the Welfare Reform and Work Bill introduce new statutory measures of worklessness and educational attainment. For the first time, we are ensuring through legislation that Government action will be focused on these areas, where the evidence tells us we can make the biggest difference for our children – now and in the future.</p><br /><p>These measures will be reported annually, which means progress will be clearly visible for all to see. My Department will also continue to publish low-income statistics as part of the ‘Households Below Average Income’ publication.</p><br /> <br /> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 19/10/2015 11:46:41 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2015 answer text <p>The number of patients referred to hospital for urgent cancer checks has increased by more than 600,000 over the past five years, and we want it to go up even more to diagnose suspected cancers earlier. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has set out evidence based guidelines for when patients should be referred, and no clinical commissioning group (CCG) incentive scheme should cut across that. NHS England has contacted each of the CCGs mentioned to ensure that this is very clearly communicated to all practices.</p><p>NHS England is currently working with partners across the health system to determine how best to take forward the recommendations of the independent Cancer Taskforce Report and put in place a governance structure for delivery.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 14/10/2015 10:53:30 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
