Between 2006 and 2015 there was a large decrease in the mortality rate for lung disease for male patients. The mortality rate was 85.9 in 2006, and the latest available comparable rate, for 2016, is 68.9.<\/p>
<\/p>
The mortality rate has also decreased for female patients between 2006 and 2016. It was 48 in 2006, and the latest comparable rate is 47.1 in 2015.<\/p>
<\/p>
The evolution of mortality rates has led to an increase in the survival rate for individuals with lung disease. The national lung cancer audit shows an improvement in one-year survival rates and other improvements in care. One-year survival of lung cancer patients reached an all-time high for patients diagnosed in 2015, with 40.7.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, Office for National Statistics figures show a reduction in asthma deaths under 65 over the last 15 years and the Manchester Healthy Lung screening pilot showed enhanced detection of early stage curable lung cancers and other lung problems.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4067", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Brine"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Winchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Brine"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-07-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-07-24T15:18:48.787Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-07-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Lung Diseases: Mortality Rates"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of progress in reducing mortality rates for lung disease over the last 10 years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3939", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Percy"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Brigg and Goole"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Andrew Percy"} ], "uin" : "164975"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/943005", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/943005/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

NHS England is working with the National Institute for Health Research, Public Health England and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence amongst others to develop suitable evidence generation plans for digital health tools, which will include wearables. Evaluation and evidence gathering is included as part of relevant programmes to help build the currently immature evidence pool in this space.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England and partner organisations have also established assessment criteria for digital tool developers looking at the quality, safety and effectiveness of digital health and care apps or tools. The service is due to go live towards the end of 2018 on the developer apps section of the National Health Service website.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, as part of the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme, NHS England has pilots in hand to test the effectiveness of digital apps in supporting diabetes prevention, which are due to report by the end of 2019. They include consideration of the use of wearable technologies and fitness apps in supporting reduction of diabetes risk. It should be noted that many of the potential benefits of the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme lie in reducing future cardiovascular events.<\/p>
<\/p>
Cardiovascular disease prevention is also a key theme in NHS England\u2019s Five Year Forward View and their NHS RightCare programme, and both NHS England and Public Health England already have a number of initiatives in place in line with this aim, including the Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Optimal Value Pathway, cross-cutting interventions such as the NHS Health Check, and a new drive announced in September 2017 to prevent heart attacks and strokes by taking a more integrated approach to cardiovascular care.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4067", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Brine"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Winchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Brine"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-04-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-04-23T15:49:51.16Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-04-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Health: Equipment"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of the use of personal fitness trackers on the prevention of cardio-vascular conditions.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3939", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Percy"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Brigg and Goole"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Andrew Percy"} ], "uin" : "135212"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/882154", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/882154/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
