answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2017 answer text <p>The National Health Service is meeting seven out of the eight cancer waiting times standards, despite a 91% increase in the number of urgent referrals for suspected cancer between 2009-10 and 2015-16. The NHS is also meeting the 62-day cancer waiting time standard for breast and skin cancers, which account for more than a third of referrals reported against this standard.</p><p> </p><p>Achieving the 62-day standard is a key objective in the Government’s Mandate to NHS England for 2016-17. NHS England and NHS Improvement are providing support and challenge to those trusts that need to improve their performance against the standard.</p><p> </p><p>Diagnostic waiting times are a key contributor to the 62-day standard. NHS England is making progress towards introducing a 28 days faster diagnosis standard for cancer patients. The standard is now being piloted at five test sites in preparation for national roll-out.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 01/03/2017 17:03:34 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2017 answer text <p>Community pharmacy is continuing to play an integral role in the National Health Service this winter.</p><p> </p><p>Building on last year’s successful introduction of the National Influenza Adult Vaccination Service delivered through community pharmacies, pharmacists are again providing ‘flu vaccinations to eligible patients in this ‘flu season. Over 810,000 vaccinations have been carried out so far this year – more than for the whole of the 2015-16 season.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the reforms to community pharmacy announced on 20 October 2016, the Government is increasing its role in reducing pressure on other parts of the system. For example, this season’s Stay Well This Winter campaign points people to visit their pharmacist at the earliest signs of feeling unwell, and before their condition gets more serious, to prevent them ending up at their general practice or emergency care department.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, a new community pharmacy pilot scheme, the NHS urgent medicine supply advanced service, was launched in December 2016 and will run until the end of March 2018. Under this service, those who need urgent repeat medicines are referred by NHS 111 directly to community pharmacies, where appropriate, relieving pressure on urgent and emergency care services by shifting this demand from general practitioner out of hours providers. This is being funded by the new Pharmacy Integration Fund and will be evaluated to inform future commissioning decisions.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 01/03/2017 14:40:48 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2017 answer text <p>Security is paramount within prisons and it is important that the risk of any potential key compromise is addressed as quickly as possible in order to protect the public. When a key/lock incident is reported an immediate investigation is undertaken to assess the risk and unless it is clear that security has not been compromised, locking mechanisms and keys will be replaced and/or other necessary remedial action will be taken.</p><p> </p><p>Between 2005 and May 2010 there were 16 relocks which resulted in costs of £1,280,234.</p><p> </p><p>In the period from May 2012 to Feb 2017 there were 6 full or partial relocks of prisons in England and Wales as a result of theft or loss of keys at a total cost of £192,420 to the taxpayer.</p><p> </p><p>Notes</p><ol><li>The cost of a relock will depend upon the size of the prison establishment and on which keys have been lost or compromised. If a complete set of keys are lost, a full relock of the prison will be undertaken, whereas if a single key is lost only a partial relock will be needed, incurring a lower cost.</li><li>Numbers of re-locks of private sector prisons are included in the above but costs of re-locks at private sector prisons are met in full by the private contractors operating the prisons at nil cost to the public purse and as such these costs are not included in the financial cost totals.</li><li>Prisons are also responsible for re-locks of crown court cells. Figures exclude any numbers or costs of re-lock of cells in crown courts during the period.</li><li>Figures include re-locks arising from loss of keys and where keys have been forcibly taken from staff.</li><li>The figures quoted have been drawn from live administrative databases and may subsequently be amended. Due care is taken during processing and analysis, but the detail is subject to inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system.</li></ol> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 02/03/2017 16:46:34 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
