question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential benefits of introducing national screening for prostate cancer.
tabling member constituency	Newcastle-under-Lyme
tabling member printed	Adam Jogee
uin	4826
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2024 answer text <p>Screening for prostate cancer is currently not recommended by the UK National Screening Committees (UK NSC). This is because of the inaccuracy of the current best test, the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA). A PSA-based screening programme could harm men, as some of them would be diagnosed with a cancer that would not have caused them problems during their life. This would lead to additional tests and treatments which can also have harmful side effects.</p><p>The UK NSC is currently carrying out an evidence review for prostate cancer screening, which includes different potential ways of screening the whole population from 40 years of age onwards, and targeted screening programme aimed at groups of men identified as being at higher than average risk, such as those with a family history, carriers of the BRCA2 gene, or based on ethnicity.</p> answering member constituency Gorton and Denton answering member printed Andrew Gwynne question first answered 12/09/2024 15:18:31 answering member 1506 label Biography information for Andrew Gwynne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2024 answer text <p>Palliative care services are included in the list of services an integrated care board (ICB), including the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB, which covers Newcastle-under-Lyme, must commission. This promotes a more consistent national approach and supports commissioners in prioritising palliative and end of life care. To support the ICBs in this duty, NHS England has published statutory guidance and service specifications.</p><p>Whilst the majority of palliative and end of life care is provided by National Health Service staff and services, we recognise the vital part that voluntary sector organisations, including hospices, also play in providing support to people, and their loved ones, at the end of life.</p><p>Most hospices are charitable, independent organisations which receive some statutory funding for providing NHS services. The amount of funding charitable hospices receive varies by ICB area, and will, in part, be dependent on the breadth and range of palliative and end of life care provision within their ICB footprint.</p><p>We understand that, financially, times are difficult for many voluntary and charitable organisations, including hospices, due to the increased cost of living. We want a society where these costs are manageable for both voluntary organisations, like hospices, and the people whom they serve.</p><p>We, alongside NHS England, will continue to proactively engage with our stakeholders, including the voluntary sector and independent hospices, on an ongoing basis, in order to understand the issues they face.</p> answering member constituency Aberafan Maesteg answering member printed Stephen Kinnock question first answered 10/09/2024 11:01:52 answering member 4359 label Biography information for Stephen Kinnock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2024 answer text <p>Whilst we have made no specific assessment, the clinical trial evidence considered by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) shows that Enhertu increases how long people live and how long they have before their cancer gets worse compared with chemotherapy treatments used for HER2‑negative breast cancer. It is not, however, a curative treatment.</p><p>We understand from NICE that it is estimated that approximately 1,000 women in England would have been eligible for treatment with Enhertu, if NICE had been able to recommend it for use in the treatment of HER2-low breast cancer.
