	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2024 answer text <p>As with all United Kingdom vaccination programmes, the decision on which groups are eligible for a particular part of the programme is only made following careful consideration of the groups most at risk of illness, severe illness, or death, as a consequence of infection. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advised that COVID-19 vaccination should be offered to the following individuals in autumn 2024:</p><p>- adults aged 65 years old and over;</p><p>- residents in a care home for older adults; and</p><p>- persons aged six months to 64 years old in a clinical risk group, as defined in the COVID-19 chapter of the Green Book.</p><p>My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care accepted the JCVI’s advice for COVID-19 vaccination in autumn 2024, and so COVID-19 vaccination will be offered to all adults aged 65 years old and over in the upcoming campaign.</p> answering member constituency Gorton and Denton answering member printed Andrew Gwynne question first answered 13/09/2024 11:20:51 answering member 1506 label Biography information for Andrew Gwynne

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2024 answer text <p>The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) advises ministers and the National Health Service on all aspects of population and targeted screening. Screening for prostate cancer is currently not recommended in the United Kingdom. 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.</p><p>The UK NSC is currently undertaking an evidence review for prostate cancer screening, and plans to report within its three-year work plan. The evidence review includes modelling of several approaches to prostate cancer screening, which includes different potential ways of screening the whole population from 40 years of age onwards, and targeted screening aimed at groups of people identified as being at higher than average risk, such as black men or men with a family history of cancer.</p> answering member constituency Gorton and Denton answering member printed Andrew Gwynne question first answered 13/09/2024 11:22:57 answering member 1506 label Biography information for Andrew Gwynne

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2024 answer text <p>The Government is concerned about the worrying rise in vaping among children, as rates of youth vaping have tripled in the past four years, and 18% of children have tried a vape. All too often, vaping products are promoted in a way that appeals to children, despite the risks of nicotine addiction and the unknown harms.</p><p>To address this, the Tobacco and Vapes Bill will reduce the appeal and availability of vapes to children. The bill will stop vapes from deliberately being branded and advertised to children, including regulations on flavours, packaging, and changing how and where they are displayed in shops. The bill will be introduced to Parliament soon.</p><p>We will publish an impact assessment for the bill shortly, and we will publish further impact assessments alongside our future vaping regulations. We will also undertake an implementation review after a set period to determine the effect of these policies on youth vaping rates.</p> answering member constituency Gorton and Denton answering member printed Andrew Gwynne question first answered 13/09/2024 11:06:06 answering member 1506 label Biography information for Andrew Gwynne

	uin	4583
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2024 answer text <p>The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination programme for adults turning 75 years old began on 1 September 2024 in England, alongside a one-off catch-up programme to rapidly vaccinate all those already aged 75 to 79 years old. Older adults will remain eligible until the day before their 80th birthday, except for people who turn 80 years old in the first year, who have until 31 August 2025 to get vaccinated.</p><p>When a new vaccination programme is introduced, the Government must make difficult decisions on who to offer the vaccine to. These decisions are based on advice the Department receives from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which includes evidence of the impact a vaccination has in different groups, as well as the capacity of the system to deliver the programme alongside all other healthcare priorities.</p><p>The structure of an immunisation programme is dynamic and the JCVI will continue to review the data available on who should be offered an RSV immunisation. It was noted in the JCVI’s advice from June 2023 that ‘an extension to the initial programme would be considered when there is more certainty about protection in the very elderly and the real-world impact of the programme in the 75- to 80-year-olds’. The JCVI’s statement on the introduction of an RSV vaccination programme is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rsv-immunisation-programme-jcvi-advice-7-june-2023/respiratory-syncytial-virus-rsv-immunisation-programme-for-infants-and-older-adults-jcvi-full-statement-11-september-2023" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rsv-immunisation-programme-jcvi-advice-7-june-2023/respiratory-syncytial-virus-rsv-immunisation-programme-for-infants-and-older-adults-jcvi-full-statement-11-september-2023</a></p> answering member constituency Gorton and Denton answering member printed Andrew Gwynne question first answered 12/09/2024 15:07:24 answering member 1506 label Biography information for Andrew Gwynne
