	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2023 answer text <p>To reduce waiting times, including in bowel cancer referrals, the Government has taken steps by working with NHS England to publish the delivery plan for tackling the COVID-19 backlogs in elective care in February 2022. To deliver this plan, the Government plans to spend more than £8 billion from 2022/23 to 2024/25 to help drive up and protect elective activity, including cancer diagnosis and treatment activity.</p><p> </p><p>Diagnostics are crucial part of all cancer pathways. The Government awarded £2.3 billion at the 2021 Spending Review to transform diagnostic services over the next three years. As part of this investment, up to 160 new Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs) will deliver additional, digitally connected, diagnostic capacity in England, providing patients with a coordinated set of diagnostic checks, including for cancer. To date, there are 92 CDCs currently operational that have delivered over 3 million additional tests since July 2021, including vital cancer checks.</p><p>The National Health Service is also continuing to roll-out faecal immunochemical tests (FIT) to support the clinical triage of patients on the lower gastrointestinal cancer pathway, with a clear expectation set out in NHS England’s 2023/24 Operational Planning that at least 80% of Faster Diagnosis Standard for lower gastrointestinal referrals should be accompanied by a FIT result.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 08/03/2023 15:58:10 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2023 answer text <p>Cutting waiting lists is one of the Government’s top priorities. All efforts are being made to deliver the next long wait ambition by April 2023, eliminating waits of 18 months or more for treatment. Thanks to incredible National Health Service staff, the total number of patients waiting more than 18 months went down more than two thirds from its peak of 123,969 in September 2021 by February 2023. Over 70 NHS trusts in England now have fewer than 100 patients waiting more than a year and a half, ahead of the target to virtually eliminate these by April.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 16/03/2023 13:28:34 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
