uin	201689
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2018 answer text <p>Improving early diagnosis of cancer is a priority for this Government. In October 2018, the Prime Minister announced our ambitions to see 55,000 more people surviving cancer for five years in England each year from 2028 and three quarters of all cancers detected at an early stage by 2028. To achieve these targets, we will need to make significant progress on survival across all cancers, including pancreatic cancer. The announcement included the roll out of rapid diagnostic centres across the country to offer patients a range of tests in the same day with rapid access to results. These will be modelled on existing pilots and will mean fewer visits to general practitioners and hospitals, and faster referrals. NHS England will shortly be introducing a Faster Diagnostic Standard of 28 days for all cancer patients which, when taken together with the 62-day referral to treatment standard, will mean that all patients should expect to start their treatment within 34 days of diagnosis. This is a maximum, and trusts should continue to treat patients more quickly particularly where there is a strong clinical need.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 19/12/2018 12:01:21 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>NHS England is currently undertaking a review of its specialised neonatal services in order to improve quality of care and ensure there is sufficient capacity for the future. It will consider the National Bereavement Care Pathway (NBCP), referenced in the ‘Audit of Bereavement Care Provision in UK Neonatal Units 2018’, which sets out a comprehensive framework for bereavement support across five stages of pregnancy and baby loss, including neonatal death.</p><p> </p><p>All bereaved parents, following baby loss, should be offered the same high standard of care and support in an appropriate environment. That is why the Government recently announced over £100,000 of funding for Sands, the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death charity, to continue the roll-out of the NBCP for 2018/19. This builds upon £50,000 of start-up funding and is in response to the great strides the project is making.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, the Toolkit for High Quality Neonatal Services sets out requirements that all staff have bereavement training; that each unit has a bereavement lead; and that parents are given written information about bereavement services where relevant. Additionally, the British Association of Perinatal Medicine Service Standards require that parents whose baby or babies are receiving care in a neonatal intensive care unit should have access to a trained counsellor from the time their baby is admitted.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 18/12/2018 14:34:27 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

Forces are changing how they deliver local policing to reflect the priorities of local people and so that they can better respond to the changing crime mix.</p><p>Effective community engagement and intelligence gathering takes more than just a visible police presence.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>All schools have the autonomy to decide the structure and duration of their school day, which includes the flexibility to decide when their school day should start and finish.</p><p>The department has not made an assessment of these decisions taken by individual schools. We trust head teachers to decide how best to structure their school day to support their pupils’ education.</p><p>There are no specific legal requirements setting out how long each individual school day should be. Governing bodies of all maintained schools in England are responsible for deciding when each school day should begin and end. The duration of the school day in academies is the responsibility of the academy trust.</p><p>In the event that a school decides to make changes to its school day, it is our expectation that the school should act reasonably; giving parents notice and considering those affected, including pupils, teachers, and parents.</p><p>The department has made clear to schools that they have the power to discipline pupils for misbehaviour that occurs outside of the school premises. The school behaviour policy should set out what action the school will take in response to non-criminal misbehaviour off the school premises.</p><p>Any form of violence in schools is completely unacceptable and should not be tolerated. The school behaviour policy should set out how poor behaviour, including incidents of violence, is dealt with. While the department expects schools to take immediate and robust action if incidents of violence occur, any decision on how to punish the pupil involved is a matter for the school. Should the incident constitute a criminal offence, the school should report it to the police.</p><p>Knife crime has devastating consequences on society, which is why this government is working hard to tackle it and protect our children, families and communities through the Serious Violence Strategy.</p><p>Schools must be safe places for pupils and we have strengthened teachers’ powers so they can take action if they suspect a pupil has brought a prohibited item, including knives, into school.</p><p>Alongside the government’s national #knifefree campaign, we have also created resources for schools so they can teach young people about the dangers of knife crime.</p><p>We have worked with the Home Office and other key stakeholders, including the Police, Ofsted and the Health and Safety Executive, to produce new school security guidance, which includes reference to knife crime.</p><p>The department published its draft guidance and launched a public consultation on 26 November 2018 which will run until 18 February 2019.
