answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2023 answer text <p>No assessment has been made on the link between iron anaemia and colorectal cancer for national screening purposes. Colorectal cancer is more common in people over the age of 50, but it can affect people of any age. To identify patients who have symptoms that do not align to a particular type of tumour, including for non-specific symptoms of colorectal cancer, the National Health Service has implemented ‘non-specific symptom pathways’. There are 103 pathways currently in place with the aim to have national coverage by March 2024.</p><p>To encourage people to see their general practitioner if they notice symptoms that could be cancer, NHS England runs the ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaigns, which address the barriers that deter patients from accessing the NHS.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince grouped question UIN 195205 question first answered 04/09/2023 08:57:32 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
