answer text <p>An assessment of dieting and risk of breast cancer has not been undertaken. However, the Committee on the Medical Aspects of Food and Nutrition Policy concluded in 1995 that greater adiposity, particularly central adiposity, and weight gain during adulthood, increase the risk of post-menopausal breast cancer. This can be viewed at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/743526/Nutritional_Aspects_of_the_Development_of_Cancer__1995_.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/743526/Nutritional_Aspects_of_the_Development_of_Cancer__1995_.pdf</a></p><p>This conclusion has been supported by high quality systematic reviews and international organisations such as the World Cancer Research Fund. This can be viewed at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/breast-cancer" target="_blank">https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/breast-cancer</a></p><p>The Government advises that having a healthy lifestyle, which includes maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active and having healthy, balanced diet, can reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, including breast cancer.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>There has not been a specific assessment of any association between dairy product consumption and prostate cancer. However, dairy products are one of the main contributors to saturated fat intakes in adults. In 2019, the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) published their review of the evidence on saturated fats and health. SACN concluded that there was no association between saturated fat intake and prostate cancer.

The full People Plan will set out a broader strategy for growing the workforce by 6,000 more doctors in general practice through recruitment and retention programmes.</p><p>Current schemes include the Targeted Enhanced Recruitment Scheme, a £20,000 one-off payment that attracts general practitioner (GP) trainees to parts of the country where there have been consistent shortages of GP trainees, including rural communities. 276 places are available in 2020/21.</p><p><br></p> more like this

The Department is working closely with NHS England, NHS Improvement and Public Health England to develop a 10 year vaccine strategy to be published early in 2020. This will include a focus on improving immunisation uptake rates across the life course including through better use of call/recall.</p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan published in January 2019 committed to a review of general practitioner (GP) vaccination and immunisation standards which commenced in April 2019. One of the purposes of the review is to clarify what is expected of call/recall for all the National Health Service immunisation programmes. Recommendations from the review will be implemented through the GP contract where appropriate, following the current negotiating period.</p> more like this
