It is not the purpose of WaterSure to support all vulnerable customers. The Government has no plans to amend the eligibility criteria.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government recognises that some customers face affordability pressures and that this varies greatly by region. Consequently, the water companies are best placed to discuss these issues with their customers and to agree on the design of any support schemes (e.g. social tariffs). This will help ensure that they take account of local circumstances and the needs of customers.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
To assist the water companies the Government has published guidance on the introduction of social tariffs. Using this guidance, the water companies have been able to introduce social tariffs since April 2013. Alongside this the water companies also offer customer assistance funds, support tariffs, debt advice and support with water efficiency.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
From April there are now 14 water companies offering social tariffs to their customers and we anticipate the remaining four companies to introduce them within the next two years. Ofwat\u2019s 2014 Price Review predicts that water companies will be helping around 1.8 million customers by 2020, which is more than double the 760,000 customers that currently receive assistance.<\/p>

To help diagnose cancer earlier, we have invested over £22 million in Be Clear on Cancer campaigns between 2010-11 and 2014-15. The first national lung cancer campaign led to 700 extra diagnoses and 300 more surgeries during the time of the campaign. NHS England has launched a major early diagnosis programme (Accelerate, Co-ordinate, Evaluate \u2013 ACE), working jointly with Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support to test new innovative approaches to identifying cancer more quickly. We are also on track to have all bowel scope screening centres open by December 2016.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We have also made major investments in innovative radiotherapy. The £23 million Radiotherapy Innovation Fund has enabled the NHS to achieve 37% of radiotherapy treatments being given by Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy, which is more precise and has fewer side effects. This is ahead of the target of 24%, and up from 5% in 2010. NHS England has committed £6 million to support six trials of more precise stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), and a further £15 million over three years to evaluate and treat patients with SABR. We have also pledged £250 million for two proton beam therapy (PBT) centres at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, and University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which will be operational by 2018.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Over 1.5 million people were urgently referred to a specialist for suspected cancer in 2014-15, an increase of over 645,000 or 71% compared to 2009-10, and a record of nearly 273,000 patients began treatment for cancer, an increase of over 39,000 or 17% compared to 2009-10. In addition 19 million diagnostic tests were carried out, an increase of nearly 4.7 million or nearly 33% compared to 2009-10. This included 1.5 million more non-obstetric ultrasounds, 1 million more magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and 238,000 more endoscopies, all procedures often used to diagnose cancer.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The independent Cancer Taskforce has been set up by NHS England to produce a new cross-system national cancer strategy to take us through the next five years to 2020. The new strategy will set a clear direction covering the whole cancer pathway from prevention to end of life care and will be published in the summer. We will work with the National Health Service, charities and patient groups to deliver the new strategy.<\/p>
