Clinical commissioning groups have a statutory responsibility to commission services which meet the needs of their local population. Any decision about use of the private sector is for local commissioners. We are clear that patients should be able to access the best possible treatments based on quality of care rather than the type of provider.<\/p>"}

We updated the Cross-Government Suicide Prevention Strategy earlier this year to strengthen delivery of its key areas for action which includes tailoring approaches to improve the mental health of specific groups such as children and young people. We expanded the scope of the Suicide Prevention Strategy to address self-harm as an issue in its own right and one that predominantly affects young people under 25. The Government is investing £1.4 billion up to 2020 to improve mental health services for children and young people, including eating disorders. We remain committed to implementing the vision set out in Future in Mind and we will publish a joint health and education green paper on children and young people\u2019s mental health very soon to set out how we will improve early intervention and prevention of mental ill health across the system.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department of Health and Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport continue to work together to address the impact of the internet and social media on the mental health of children and young people to both protect young people online and to harness the benefits online platforms can bring in supporting young people to maintain good mental wellbeing. This includes working with online providers to improve safety and to tackle harmful content online.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are ensuring that every local area will have a multi-agency suicide prevention plan in place by the end of the year which means all local services, including voluntary and charitable sector organisations, are working together to implement tailored approaches to reducing suicides in their communities. We published guidance to local authorities to set out how local suicide prevention plans should drive national policy locally which includes addressing the key areas for action in the national strategy.<\/p>
<\/p>
We continue to fund, in partnership with the Samaritans, the National Suicide Prevention Alliance which brings together a wide range of suicide prevention organisations in the voluntary and charitable sector to support delivery of the National Suicide Prevention Strategy. The Alliance includes organisations that work specifically with children and young people to prevention suicide and self-harm.<\/p>
<\/p>
Departmental Ministers meet and work with a wide range of organisations across public health, the NHS and social care to progress the ambition to reduce the number of suicides in England by 10% by 2020/21. My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health recently spoke at the launch of the Zero Suicide Alliance which is a partnership between Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust and organisations in the voluntary and charitable sector to raise suicide prevention awareness across the system and aims to train 1 million people in suicide prevention.<\/p>"}

The Government\u2019s mandate to NHS England contains objectives aimed at reducing premature mortality, including respiratory illness. This is complemented by the NHS Outcomes Framework 2016/17 which sets out the Department\u2019s priority areas for the National Health Service and includes reducing deaths from respiratory disease as a key indicator. These measures aim to reduce mortality rates from respiratory illnesses across the population.<\/p>
<\/p>
Tackling ill health is one of six themes in the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) strategy for the health and safety system, Helping Great Britain Work Well.<\/p>
<\/p>
Tackling occupational respiratory disease remains one of HSE\u2019s health priorities and is a key element of HSE\u2019s Health and Work strategy and occupational lung disease plan. The aim is to reduce the incidence rate and number of new cases of occupational related lung disease. To help achieve this HSE will focus its inspection and enforcement activity where it can have the most effect and continue to work with a broad range of partners including the recently established Healthy Lung Partnership.<\/p>
<\/p>
HSE\u2019s new Go Home Healthy campaign includes occupational lung disease and will use communications and social media channels to promote the benefits of good health and safety.<\/p>"}

NHS England has the funds necessary to improve cancer services over the next five years as part of the £8 billion funding increase in real terms by 2020-21 compared to 2015-16. The recommendations in the Cancer Strategy for England report, produced in July 2015 by the independent Cancer Taskforce give direction as to where these funds should be targeted.<\/p>
<\/p>
The forthcoming Health Education England (HEE) cancer workforce plan will set out actions as recommended in the Cancer Strategy for England, including for endoscopy up to 2020/21. The plan will also consider future challenges beyond 2020/21.<\/p>
<\/p>
HEE is currently training an additional 200 clinical endoscopists through the accelerated training programme by 2018. Projections estimate that this will equate to a further 225,000 procedures annually by 2020. HEE is committed to maintaining the clinical endoscopy workforce beyond 2018.<\/p>"}
