NHS England has published guidance for lung cancer on how to speed up the start of the pathway, to meet this new standard and to maximise the number of patients who might benefit from potentially curative surgery. The National Health Service has been asked to implement this pathway in Refreshing NHS Plans for 2018/19 (annual planning guidance). Transformation funding was provided to Cancer Alliances in 2018/19 to ensure the pathway will be implemented across England.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>The current new-born screening programme in the United Kingdom screens for nine rare but serious conditions including phenylketonuria (PKU). To recognise rare conditions such as PKU, doctors and other healthcare professionals are expected to ensure their clinical knowledge remains up-to-date and to identify their ongoing learning needs as part of their continuing professional development. This activity should include taking account of new research and developments in guidance in relevant specialty areas, such as those produced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence or the Royal Colleges, to ensure that they can continue to provide high quality care to all patients.</p><p> </p><p>Steps to increase the awareness of rare diseases such as PKU are being taken through the implementation of the UK Strategy for Rare Diseases. The Strategy includes commitments to improving the lives of all patients affected by rare diseases including in areas of identification/ prevention and diagnosis and early intervention. The Government is committed to implementing the Strategy’s commitments and in January 2018, the Department and NHS England published Implementation Plans setting out their actions for England.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 28/11/2018 17:39:49 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
