answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2024 answer text <p>My Rt hon.

The new taskforce will bring together expertise from across a broad range of sectors, including the National Health Service, education, and justice, to better understand the challenges affecting people with ADHD, and help provide a joined-up approach in response to concerns around rising demand for assessments and support. NHS England will continue to engage widely throughout the process, and will engage with the devolved administrations as appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 25/04/2024 16:55:48 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2024 answer text <p>In England, early cancer screening is already in place for cervical, breast, and bowel cancer. The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) does not currently recommend screening for prostate cancer due to the inaccuracy of the current best test, called Prostate Specific Antigen. We are providing £16 million of funding to Prostate Cancer UK's £42 million trial, which is aimed at helping us find a way of catching prostate cancer in men as early as possible. The UK NSC is also commissioning evidence for six possible approaches to targeted prostate screening for those at higher risk. The UK NSC will publish its recommendations when complete.</p><p>NHS England is responsible for the running of the Targeted Lung Health Check Programme, and its conversion to a nationally rolled out NHS Targeted Lung Cancer Screening Programme by 2030.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 24/04/2024 14:48:02 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
