The Foreign Secretary last did so with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on 5 December. The UK is committed to defending Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) globally.

We frequently raise these with the Government of Iraq and Kurdistan Regional Government, calling for greater protection and deeper inclusion in national and local government.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 14/02/2024 16:49:45 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2024 answer text <p>My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has not had recent discussions with NHS England specifically on introducing a promotional campaign to recognise symptoms of pancreatic cancer.</p><p>NHS England is delivering a range of interventions that are expected to increase early diagnosis and improve outcomes for those with pancreatic cancer. This includes providing a route into pancreatic cancer surveillance for those at inherited high-risk to identify lesions before they develop into cancer and diagnose cancers sooner, creating new pathways to support faster referral routes for people with non-specific symptoms that could be linked to a range of cancer types, and increasing general practice direct access to diagnostic tests. A group has been formed to consider a pathway for Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary cancers, including pancreatic cancer.</p><p> </p><p>On the 8 January 2024, NHS England relaunched the Help Us Help You cancer campaigns, designed to increase earlier diagnosis of cancer by reducing barriers to seeking earlier help, as well as increasing body vigilance and knowledge of key red flag symptoms. This campaign address barriers to people coming forward with suspected signs of cancer in general and is not specific to pancreatic cancer.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 13/02/2024 16:50:37 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
