In addition, £130 million funding has been invested in over 80 new or replacement linear accelerators in the modernisation of radiotherapy services.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England will shortly be introducing a Faster Diagnostic Standard of 28 days for all cancer patients, including those with pancreatic cancer, which when taken together with the 62-day referral to treatment standard, will mean that all patients should expect to start their treatment within 34 days of diagnosis. This is a maximum, and trusts should continue to treat patients more quickly particularly where there is a strong clinical need.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 04/02/2019 18:03:12 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

If a parking company was to repeatedly break this code, then their access to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) data would be blocked. This data includes information on the vehicle keeper, so a company blocked from accessing it would be unable to pursue parking charges. I spoke at the Bill’s Third Reading in the Commons to voice the Government’s support and it has now passed to the House of Lords.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 21/01/2019 17:13:47 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
