answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2024 answer text <p>Research is crucial in tackling cancer, which is why the Department invests £1.3 billion per year in health research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The NIHR's research expenditure for all cancers was £121.8 million in 2022/23, and the NIHR spends more on cancer than any other disease group.</p><p>The NIHR funded nine research projects on pancreatic cancer since 2018/19, with a committed funding value of £4.3 million.</p><p>The following table shows NIHR spending on pancreatic cancer research for the period April 2018 to March 2023, based on contracted funding over this period, correct as of 29 April 2024:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year commenced</p></td><td><p>Pancreatic cancer research awards actual spending</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>£545,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019/20</p></td><td><p>£525,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020/21</p></td><td><p>£348,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021/22</p></td><td><p>£145,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022/23</p></td><td><p>£735,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>£2.3 million</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>In addition, NIHR Biomedical Research Centres and NIHR Clinical Research Facilities spent a further £6.5 million between 2018/19 and 2022/23 supporting an annual portfolio of around 85 early clinical studies in pancreatic cancer.</p><p>The NIHR also supports delivery in the health and care system of research into pancreatic cancer, funded by research funding partners in the charity and public sectors. Since 2018/19 the NIHR supported 73 clinical research studies through the Clinical Research Network.</p><p>The NIHR funds research in response to proposals received from scientists rather than allocating funding to specific disease areas. The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including pancreatic cancer. It is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 20/05/2024 14:27:46 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

uin	23840
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2024 answer text <p>Tackling cancer is a key priority for the Government. Ministers and officials continue to work closely with NHS England to increase positive outcomes for all cancer types, including pancreatic cancer. The National Health Service is delivering a range of interventions expected to increase early diagnosis and improve outcomes for those with pancreatic cancer. This includes: providing a route into pancreatic cancer surveillance for those at inherited high-risk, to identify lesions before they develop into cancer, and diagnose cancers sooner; creating new pathways to support faster referral routes for people with non-specific symptoms that could be linked to a range of cancer types; and increasing direct access for general practitioners to arrange diagnostic tests.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England is also funding a new audit into pancreatic cancer to increase the consistency of access to treatments, and to stimulate improvements in cancer treatment and outcomes. The Royal College of Surgeons began work on this audit in October 2022, and the first report is expected in October 2024. In addition to this, the Getting it Right First Time team in NHS England is undertaking a deep dive into pancreatic cancer, which will highlight actions NHS providers need to take to improve services, as well as gathering examples of good practice to share.</p><p>The NHS is working towards its Long Term Plan ambition of diagnosing 75% of stageable cancers at stage one and two by 2028. Achieving this will mean that an additional 55,000 people each year will survive their cancer for at least five years after diagnosis. With progress made on reducing waiting times, cancer is being diagnosed at an earlier stage more often, with survival rates improving across almost all types of cancer.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 01/05/2024 09:23:30 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

There can be no justification for such acts of violence. Every Israeli and Palestinian has the right to live in peace and security. As we have stated previously, for there to be a lasting peace, Israel's security must be assured. We continue to monitor the situation closely, and we continue to have regular discussions with Israeli counterparts on all aspects of the conflict.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 18/04/2024 16:27:34 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
