	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2015 answer text <p>We recognise that cervical screening continues to play a key role in preventing women getting, and being harmed by, cervical cancer. The NHS Cervical Screening Programme in England offers screening to women aged 25 to 49 every three years, and women aged 50 to 64 every five years. Women aged over 65 should only be screened if they have not been screened since age 50 or if they have had recent abnormal results.</p><br /><p>Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing as triage for women with mild and borderline results and as a test of cure for women previously treated for cervical abnormalities became routine across the NHS Cervical Screening Programme from 1 April 2014. This makes cervical screening more targeted and significantly reduces the need for repeat testing. It is estimated that over 160,000 women a year do not need repeat tests due to mild or borderline results and around 400,000 women have been removed from ten year annual follow-up due to a previous abnormal result.</p><br /><p>In April 2012, the UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC), which advises Ministers and the National Health Service in all four countries about all aspects of screening policy and supports implementation, gave its support for a pilot to assess the value of using HPV testing as primary screening for cervical disease, rather than the currently used cytology test. The pilot has been establishing the feasibility of using HPV as the primary screen for cervical disease in order to achieve better outcomes for women, while minimising over-treatment and anxiety, and whether it is practical to roll out nationally. The UK NSC opened a public consultation on this in July 2015. The consultation closes on 2 November 2015. Ministers expect to receive a recommendation from the UK NSC following the closure of the public consultation.</p><br /><p>Earlier diagnosis and prevention is a key focus of the Independent Cancer Taskforce report, <em>Achieving World-Class Cancer Outcomes: A Strategy for England 2015-2020</em>. It includes a recommendation that, assuming a positive recommendation by the NSC, Public Health England and NHS England should drive a rapid roll-out of primary HPV testing into the cervical screening programme. The Taskforce also made a number of recommendations on the early diagnosis of cancers more generally.</p><br /><p>In addition, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has published a range of guidance on the treatment and screening of cervical cancer and further information is available at:</p><br /><p><a href="http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/conditions-and-diseases/cancer/cervical-cancer" target="_blank">www.nice.org.uk/guidance/conditions-and-diseases/cancer/cervical-cancer</a></p><br /><p><strong></strong></p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 19/10/2015 14:56:21 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

We are working with the Industry Training Boards to understand how their existing arrangements will be affected. They will be consulting with their members in advance of the introduction of the apprenticeships levy on whether they should continue to pay the industry levy and if so, how it should be combined with the national apprenticeship levy. We are also working with other sectors, where there are existing collective training arrangements about what the apprenticeships levy means to them.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Nick Boles question first answered 09/12/2015 10:04:08 answering member 3995 label Biography information for Nick Boles
