The data may differ slightly from that of the published statistics as these data were run on a different date. Clearance times are dependent on several factors, such as hearing capacity at the venue closest to the appellant, or the local availability of tribunal panel members. Other factors might include the availability of the appellant or their representative, or the provision of further evidence. Additionally, a decision on the appeal may be reached after a hearing has been adjourned (which may be directed by the judge for a variety of reasons, such as to seek further evidence), or after a hearing has been postponed (again, for a variety of reasons, often at the request of the appellant). An appeal may also have been referred back to the First-tier Tribunal by the Upper Tribunal for disposal. Cases may also have been stayed at the First-tier Tribunal, pending a decision by the Upper Tribunal on a lead case. HMCTS has been working with the tribunal’s judiciary both to appoint additional judges and panel members and take forward initiatives with potential to increase the capacity and performance of the tribunal. These include reviewing current listing practices to increase the number of cases being listed on a tribunal session, and introducing case management “triage” sessions, with the aim of reducing the time taken for appeals to reach final determination. All these measures will increase the capacity of the tribunal with the aim of reducing waiting times for appellants.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 11/06/2018 14:44:40 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>The United Kingdom National Screening Committee looked at the starting age for cervical cancer screening in 2012 and recommended inviting women for screening from the age of 25 based on the evidence that screening women under the age of 25 causes more harm than good; that changes are very common in the young cervix, and approximately one in three women under 25 would be identified by a screening test as requiring further investigation. In the vast majority of these younger women, the abnormalities will clear up of their own accord.
