On 19 February we introduced a new food charity signposting slip to replace the one previously used.<\/p>

This does not change DWP signposting policy but improves the signposting slip to comply with our obligations under GDPR.<\/p>

Our Jobcentres continue to provide customers with guidance to find additional support, including signposting to emergency food support when appropriate.<\/p>

The new slip does not include any personal data. It also now provides claimants with information on where they might access emergency food locally, and wider sources of support.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4380", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jo Churchill"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bury St Edmunds"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jo Churchill"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-03-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-03-18T17:00:25.59Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-03-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Food Banks"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of his Department's policy on the use of foodbank signposting slips at Jobcentres on vulnerable households.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3973", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Grahame Morris"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Easington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Grahame Morris"} ], "uin" : "902039"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1685900", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1685900/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Ending the menace of fly-tipping is a priority \u2013 and measures such as digital waste tracking and improvements to waste licensing will significantly enhance our ability to prosecute waste criminals.

The Government remains committed to the National Health Service Long Term Plan ambition to increase survival rates, so that an additional 55,000 people survive their cancer for 5 years or more each year by 2028.<\/p>

We continue to focus on delivering earlier diagnosis, which will help to improve survival rates, through projects such as our Targeted Lung Health Check programme and implementation of Rapid Diagnostic Centre pathways.<\/p>

NHS England and Improvement invested an additional £150m in imaging and endoscopy equipment in 2020-21. The £325 million capital funding from the 2020 Spending Review in diagnostics will also help to speed up diagnostics and improve patient outcomes.<\/p>

The NHS is also working to improve survival outcomes by introducing cutting-edge new treatments. The pandemic has allowed us to accelerate activity in some key areas such as the adoption of new technologies and treatment methods, and we will continue to look for opportunities to further increase our efforts.<\/p>

Based on the latest data available up to 2017, one-year survival rates for all cancers combined are at a record high in the UK. Between 2003 and 2018, the one-year survival for all cancers combined increased from 63.6% to 73.9%. Between 2003 and 2014, the five-year survival for all cancer combined increased from 45.7% to 54.6%.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4380", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jo Churchill"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bury St Edmunds"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jo Churchill"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-09-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1352933/answer/previousversion/19913", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4380", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jo Churchill"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bury St Edmunds"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jo Churchill"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-09-13T16:37:24.533Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-09-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Cancer"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what (a) steps his Department has taken and (b) recent progress has been made towards increasing cancer survival rates.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3973", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Grahame Morris"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Easington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Grahame Morris"} ], "uin" : "43483"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1352939", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1352939/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government is committed to the Long Term Plan ambition of diagnosing three quarters of cancers at Stage one or two by 2028. NHS England and NHS Improvement are taking a multi-pronged approach which includes accelerating access to diagnosis and treatment, through their rollout of Rapid Diagnostic Centres and the new Faster Diagnosis Standard and the investment in new equipment such as the £325 million capital funding for National Health Service (NHS) diagnostics, which is enough to replace over two thirds of imaging equipment over 10 years old. The investment in this Long Term Plan commitment will help improve early diagnosis and detection of pancreatic cancer.<\/p>

NHS England and NHS Improvement have recently announced that they will commission an audit in pancreatic cancer to help to reduce variations in treatment and improve patient outcomes. Scoping for this audit has begun, and the first data is expected in 2023.<\/p>

The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) clinical guideline on the diagnosis and management of pancreatic cancer describes best practice in the care and treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer, including supporting their nutritional needs.
