	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2017 answer text <p>In current NHS England commissioning practice, testing for Lynch syndrome in people with colorectal cancer is targeted using criteria based on family history and age of cancer onset to determine people at high risk.</p><p> </p><p>New National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance recommends extending this offer to all people with colorectal cancer when they are first diagnosed. Offering tests to all people with colorectal cancer will need to be considered by NHS England as part of its policy development process. Each year, a number of new drugs, medical devices, tests and treatments in specialised services are put forward to NHS England. The promising proposals are considered by experts in the field, including doctors, public health experts and lay people. These groups, established by NHS England, are known as Clinical Reference Groups (CRGs). The CRGs make detailed assessments of the new treatments, tests and devices through Policy Working Groups.</p><p> </p><p>The NICE guidance has been sent to the Genetic Medicine CRG and they have been asked to submit a Preliminary Policy Proposal and to identify a Clinical Lead for progressing the proposal.</p><p> </p><p>Consideration of the commissioning position and any financial implications will only be discussed once the proposal has been rigorously assessed.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat grouped question UIN 71184 question first answered 26/04/2017 10:27:15 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat
