uin	HL1634
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2024 answer text <p>We want a society where every person with dementia, their families and carers, receive high quality, compassionate care, from diagnosis through to end of life. To improve care for patients with dementia, including those with Alzheimer’s disease, NHS England's RightCare team is refreshing the RightCare Dementia Scenario. The scenario works through the dementia well pathway journey from diagnosing well through to dying well, detailing optimal and sub optimal approaches, with associated costings for each. The RightCare team is developing a dementia model pathway based on data for each component of the dementia well pathway to provide a high-level view of what dementia care activity looks like for local areas and will support targeted support where appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>There are also several potential new disease modifying treatments for Alzheimer’s disease in development. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), NHS England and the Department are working closely to ensure that arrangements are in place to support the adoption of any new licensed and NICE recommended treatment for dementia as soon as possible.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 24/01/2024 12:50:08 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure equitable access to cancer treatment and care across different regions of the UK; and what steps they are taking to improve cancer survival rates.
tabling member printed	Lord Hay of Ballyore
uin	HL1637
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2024 answer text <p>Reducing inequalities and variation in cancer treatment is a priority for this Government as is increasing early cancer diagnosis, as this is a key contributor to reducing cancer health inequalities. People in deprived areas are at greater risk of contracting cancer, more likely to have a cancer diagnosed at a later stage and suffer from higher cancer death rates and poorer survival. Survival rates have been improving for almost all cancers and across all demographics, with 74.6% people surviving a year after diagnosis, up from 65.6% in 2005, and 55.7% surviving five years, up from 47.9% in 2005.</p><p>The National Health Service has rolled out Targeted Lung Health Checks, prioritising more deprived areas, so that people in the most deprived quintile are now more likely to be diagnosed with lung cancer at an early stage, namely stage one or two, than those in the least deprived quintile, giving them a much greater chance of survival.</p><p>On 14 August 2023, the Government published a strategic framework for the Major Conditions Strategy to consider the six conditions, including cancer, that contribute most to morbidity and mortality across the population in England, including cancer. The Major Conditions Strategy will apply a geographical lens to each condition to address regional disparities in health outcomes, supporting the levelling up mission to narrow the gap in healthy life expectancy by 2030.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 24/01/2024 12:47:56 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
