answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>It is for admissions authorities to decide whether to give priority to siblings in their admissions arrangements, where the school is oversubscribed, and many schools do choose to do this. The Government expects schools to balance prioritising siblings with ensuring places are also available for other local children who do not have a sibling at the school.</p><p>The Department wants fair access to a good school place for every pupil. That is why we routinely keep the admissions system under review and seek regular feedback from stakeholders on the system. Any changes to the School Admissions Code will require a full statutory process, including consultation and parliamentary scrutiny.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 16/03/2018 14:38:12 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2018 answer text <p>Prostate screening is not offered as a population screening programme in the United Kingdom.</p><p> </p><p>The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) last reviewed the evidence about screening for prostate cancer in 2016 and recommended against a population screening programme. The reasons for this included that the test which is available for use in screening, Prostate-Specific Antigen, is neither very specific nor very sensitive, and is unable to distinguish between slow-growing and fast-growing cancers; there is therefore a risk that a national screening programme would lead to a high number of false positives. There are major harms of treating men who incorrectly test positive (i.e. have false positive tests), these include impotence, incontinence and rectal problems.</p><p> </p><p>The UK NSC will be reviewing the evidence to screen for prostate cancer later in 2019/20.
