	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2016 answer text <p>The Government is committed to making sure that vulnerable and intimidated victims and witnesses get the support they need and have the confidence to come forward. A range of measures already exist to help reduce their anxiety, including giving evidence through live-link to the courtroom from a different room in the court, or away from the court building altogether, and the use of a Registered Intermediary. We doubled the number of Registered Intermediaries at the end of 2015 to increase the number available to help vulnerable and intimidated victims and witnesses give evidence.</p><p> </p><p>We are also rolling out recorded pre-trial cross-examination in the Crown Courts from next year so that vulnerable witnesses do not have to give their evidence at trial. In addition to this, we are requiring publicly-funded advocates in sexual offences cases to undertake specialist training on working with vulnerable victims and witnesses.</p> answering member constituency North East Hertfordshire answering member printed Sir Oliver Heald question first answered 10/11/2016 15:31:32 answering member 69 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Heald

Since sunburn is a risk factor for skin cancer, messages are issued to warn when the United Kingdom solar UV Index values are higher than expected.</p><br /><p>In 2011, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published guidance on ‘Skin Cancer Prevention’ in January 2011. The guidance will be partially updated within the development of new guidance on ‘Sun Exposure: benefits and risks’ due to be published by NICE in February 2016.</p><br /><p>In June 2015, NICE published new cancer referral guideline for general practitioners (GPs), including guidance for GPs on investigating patients with signs suggestive of skin cancer (melanoma and non-melanoma). The guideline will continue to support GPs to identify patients with signs and symptoms of suspected cancer, including skin cancer and urgently refer them as appropriate.</p><br /><p>NICE is currently developing a quality standard which will cover prevention, assessment, diagnosis and management of skin cancer (melanoma and non-melanoma) in children, young people and adults.

The guideline will continue to support GPs to identify patients with signs and symptoms of suspected cancer, including skin cancer and urgently refer them as appropriate.
