answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2024 answer text <p>In March 2021, the Government published Saving and Improving Lives: The Future of UK Clinical Research Delivery, setting out ambitions to reform clinical research delivery in the United Kingdom. This sets out how we will improve patient access to clinical trials in all areas, including cancer. This, together with the Government response to the O’Shaughnessy review backed by up to £121 million of funding, will help to drive improvements in recruitment to clinical trials and approval processes which lead to quicker study set up. Implementation of our vision for clinical trials brings together stakeholders from across the research system, including industry, and we continue to have regular engagement with industry partners through established forums.</p><p>The UK’s Cancer Mission, a key element of the Life Sciences Vision, will also bring together industry, academia, and the National Health Service to collaborate and make progress on cancer, including by driving the development and commercialisation of new cancer medicines.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 17/01/2024 17:29:10 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>Schools have the freedom to plan their curriculum time to best meet the need of their pupils and it is the decision of individual schools whether English language and English literature are taught separately or together.</p><p>The Department believes that the two subjects should be examined separately as the previous combined English GCSE did not allow pupils to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding in either English language or English literature in sufficient depth or breadth.</p><p>English language and English literature are counted separately in the performance tables as separate qualifications. In 2016, Progress 8 was introduced as a headline measure of secondary school performance to compare the progress pupils make across eight subjects. Progress 8 focuses on an academic core, and both English language and English literature can be double weighted to signify their importance. In order to qualify for double weighting in English, a pupil needs to be entered to sit both GCSE English language and GCSE English literature. If a pupil sits both qualifications, the highest grade achieved in either GCSE English language or GCSE English literature will be double weighted for the English element of Progress 8.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 11/09/2017 16:58:48 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
