answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2015 answer text <p>Schools play a key role in educating all children about the importance and benefits of eating well and staying healthy. This is why we have strengthened the requirements on schools to teach children about food, nutrition and healthy eating and how to cook a repertoire of dishes from an early age. In the new national curriculum, learning about food is a key component for every child and food preparation and nutrition lessons are compulsory up to the age of 14. We expect schools to find ways to enable all pupils to participate in food preparation and nutrition lessons regardless of their socio-economic background.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Organisations such as the Design and Technology Association (DATA) have promoted the practice of procuring food preparation and nutrition ingredients as part of school catering buying as a means of ensuring all children are able to participate fully in food preparation and nutrition lessons.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Mr Nick Gibb question first answered 16/03/2015 14:34:02 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	221905
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2015 answer text <p><em>Improving Outcomes: A Strategy for Cancer</em>, published on 12 January 2011, backed by over £750 million, committed over £450 million over the four years up to 2014-15 to achieve earlier diagnosis of cancer, including supporting direct general practitioner (GP) access to key diagnostic tests such as non-obstetric ultrasound to support the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. In 2012, the Department published ‘Direct access to diagnostic tests for cancer: best practice referral pathways for general practitioners’. The guide aims to raise awareness of the symptoms that require urgent referral to specialists and sets out where a direct referral for tests may benefit patients and lead to a faster diagnosis.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Diagnostic Imaging Dataset collected by NHS England showed that in August 2014, GPs requested almost a quarter of all tests that may have been used to diagnose or discount cancer, under direct access arrangements. Of these, the test with the highest proportion of GP referral was ultrasounds that may have been used to diagnose ovarian cancer (45% of which were requested by GPs).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The earlier diagnosis money also included some central funding for Be Clear on Cancer (BCOC) campaigns, which aim to raise awareness of the symptoms of cancer and get symptomatic patients to present earlier. Public Health England ran a regional ovarian pilot campaign which ran from 10 February to 16 March 2014 in the North West of England Television region. The campaign was aimed at women over 50, the age group most at risk of developing ovarian cancer, and their friends and family to raise awareness of bloating as a symptom of ovarian cancer and to encourage women with this symptom to visit their GP. Full evaluation results are awaited.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The National Institute for health and Care Excellence’s most recent guidelines recommend offering genetic testing to people with a 10% risk of carrying a BRCA mutation, which is lower than the 20% risk previously recommended. The draft policy proposal for BRCA testing is amongst those awaiting consultation by NHS England’s Clinical Priorities Advisory Group. This will take place following the 90-day public consultation on the decision-making framework which NHS England will use to make decisions on specialised services proposals, which is now live.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Following this consultation period, the Clinical Priorities Advisory Group will review the proposal and make a recommendation to the NHS England Specialised Services Committee, who will make a final decision.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>On 11 January NHS England announced a new independent cancer taskforce to develop a five-year action plan for cancer services to improve survival rates and save thousands of lives.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The taskforce has been set up to produce a new national cancer strategy for the next five years to 2020, building on NHS England’s vision for improving cancer outcomes set out in the NHS Five Year Forward View. The taskforce will be set up in partnership with the cancer community and other health system leaders, and will be chaired by Dr Harpal Kumar, Chief Executive of Cancer Research UK. The new strategy will cover prevention, early and faster diagnosis, better treatment and care for all, recovery, reablement and living with and beyond cancer. The strategy will also cover research and innovation, end-of-life care, data and metrics, and workforce. The taskforce will produce a statement of intent by March 2015, and will aim to publish the new strategy in the summer.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>NHS England also launched a major early-diagnosis programme, working jointly with Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support to test new approaches to identifying cancer more quickly. These include offering patients the option to self-refer for diagnostic tests, lowering the threshold for GP referrals, and setting up multi-disciplinary diagnostic centres, so that patients can have several tests done at the same place on the same day. NHS England’s aim is to evaluate these innovative initiatives across more than 60 centres around England, in order to collect evidence on approaches that could be implemented from 2016-17.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 02/02/2015 17:32:40 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
