answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2015 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) runs a range of national social marketing campaigns, based on the best available evidence, to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of certain life-threatening illnesses and to therefore improve rates of early diagnosis. PHE works closely with the Department and NHS England to ensure that health care professionals are also targeted with campaign information to encourage earlier diagnoses and referrals.</p><p><strong></strong></p><p>In addition PHE leads the NHS Health Check programme which aims to reduce premature mortality and morbidity and invites anyone aged between 40 and 74 who does not have a pre-existing condition for a check every five years. This programme presents an opportunity to prevent heart attacks and strokes and save lives each year. It can also help prevent people from developing diabetes and detect cases of diabetes or kidney disease earlier, allowing individuals to be better managed and improve their quality of life.</p><p><strong></strong></p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 19/10/2015 14:01:22 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will amend existing legislation relating to police widow pensions to bring parity with other public sector pensions.
tabling member constituency	Hemsworth
tabling member printed	Jon Trickett
uin	10787
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2015 answer text <p>In common with other public sector pensions, the police pension schemes provide a pension for the widow, widower or civil partner of a police officer who dies. For the 2006 and 2015 police pension schemes that pension is paid for life regardless of future remarriage, civil partnership or cohabitation. As the Home Secretary announced in the House of Commons on 12 October 2015, in recognition of the level of risk that police officers face in the execution of their duty, the 1987 Police Pension Scheme will shortly be amended to ensure that widows, widowers and surviving civil partners of police officers who died on duty in England and Wales will no longer lose their survivors’ benefits if they remarry, form a civil partnership or cohabit in the future. The Government will lay these regulations in the coming weeks and the change will be backdated to 1 April 2015.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 22/10/2015 14:56:18 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
