Cancer: Clinical Trials
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 12th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department is taking steps to increase the geographical spread of cancer clinical trial sites open to (a) teenagers and (b) young adults. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department is committed to maximising the United Kingdom’s potential to lead the world in clinical research, with the aim of ensuring that all patients, including teenagers and young adults with cancer, have access to cutting-edge clinical trials and innovative, lifesaving treatments. The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), funded by the Department, funds research and research infrastructure, which supports patients and the public to participate in high-quality research, including clinical research for teenagers and young adults with cancer. This research infrastructure includes a network of Experimental Cancer Medicine Centres, co-funded by the NIHR, Cancer Research UK, and the Little Princess Trust, which work across the whole of the UK, bringing together world-leading laboratory and clinical researchers to test new treatments for adults and children with cancer. The NIHR Research Delivery Network (RDN) supports patients, the public, and health and care organisations across England to participate in high-quality research. The RDN consists of 12 regional RDNs, which support sites across England to deliver clinical research, including clinical research for teenagers and young adults with cancer. The newly designated Commercial Research Delivery Centres (CRDCs) will build further capacity in delivering commercial clinical research. There are 21 CRDCs spread across the UK, and one of the CRDCs, based at the Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, is dedicated to the delivery of commercial clinical trials for treating children and young people. |

Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 12th May 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how she plans to use the £200 million allocated for charging infrastructure in the Autumn Budget 2004. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) We will be investing £200m to accelerate EV chargepoint roll out. This funding will include helping local authorities install charging infrastructure across England; supporting en-route charging infrastructure deployment; and providing targeted support for chargepoints for homes and workplaces. |

Rapid Charging Fund
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 12th May 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress her Department has made on the implementation of the rapid charging fund. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) There has been strong progress with installation of chargepoints on the Strategic Road Network. There are now over 5,250 open-access rapid and ultra-rapid chargers within one mile of the Strategic Road Network (Zapmap, January 2025), of which 1,180 are at motorway service areas (based on industry data). The latter is up around 165% over the last two years.
The market had changed significantly since the Rapid Charging Fund was announced, including increased private sector investment in infrastructure, a changed regulatory environment, and improvements in battery technology. The Government will ensure taxpayers' money is used as efficiently as possible to make the transition to electric vehicles a success. The Rapid Charging Fund pilot was launched to better understand where best to target government support. We will apply learning from the pilot to continue working with industry to boost charging infrastructure on the Strategic Road Network. |

Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 12th May 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department plans to take to help increase the impact of (a) private sector investment and (b) public sector funding on levels of access to of (i) affordable and (ii) convenient electric vehicle charging points. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The Government is committed to making EV charging infrastructure more affordable and accessible.
The £381m Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund supports local authorities in England to work with industry and transform the availability of EV charging for drivers without off-street parking. The funding, backed by substantial private investment, will support the installation of at least 100,000 local chargepoints. |

Food: Import Controls
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 12th May 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of reducing UK tariffs on US meat and seafood products on (a) levels of meat imports and (b) food standards. Answered by Douglas Alexander - Minister of State (Cabinet Office) The UK has a strong and balanced trading relationship with the US worth £315 billion. Investment supports around 2.5 million jobs across both countries. Trade is second only to the EU where our trading relationship is worth £813 billion. We will always act in the best interests of UK businesses and consumers. That’s why, throughout the last few weeks, the government has been fully focused on negotiating an economic deal with the United States. But we will only ever sign trade agreements which align with the UK’s national interests, and we will always uphold our high food standards. |

Brain: Tumours
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Thursday 15th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data his Department holds on the number of patients diagnosed with a brain tumour through emergency presentation in each of the last five years. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) We are unable to answer the question exactly as asked as the Hospital Episode Statistics, the data set from which the data for this answer is drawn, does not identify how a diagnosed condition initially presents. However, the following table shows the total number of admissions with a primary diagnosis of a brain tumour from May 2020 to December 2024, based on the admission date of the episode, broken down into the elective admission types, those being booked, planned, or from the waiting list, the emergency admission types, via accident and emergency or other unplanned admissions, and the other admission types, which are not recorded in either of the above, and which include maternity related admission and transfers from other hospital or care facilities:

Cancer: Children and Young People
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Thursday 15th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the distance that children and young people with cancer must travel to access their treatment and care in specialist centres (a) across the UK and (b) from Wokingham constituency. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department knows that the cost of travel is an important issue for many young cancer patients and their families in England. NHS England and the integrated care boards are responsible for commissioning and ensuring the healthcare needs of their local communities are met, including providing support for travel. The National Health Service in England runs the Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme (HTCS) to provide financial assistance for travel to a hospital or other NHS premises for specialist NHS treatment or diagnostics tests, when referred by a doctor or other primary healthcare professional. Patients who do not qualify for the HTCS and who are on a low income may be able to claim the costs from the Department for Work and Pensions through Universal Credit or a Personal Independence Payment. There are also a number of charities in the United Kingdom who provide support, including financial support, for patients with cancer. On 4 February 2025, the Department relaunched the Children and Young People Cancer Taskforce to identify tangible ways to improve outcomes and experiences for young cancer patients. The work of the taskforce is ongoing, and officials are exploring opportunities for improvement across a range of areas, including detection and diagnosis, genomic testing and treatment, research and innovation, and patient experience. The taskforce will also ensure that the unique needs of children and young people with cancer are carefully considered as part of the National Cancer Plan, which will include further details on how we will improve outcomes for children and young people with cancer in all parts of England, including Wokingham.
Given wider ongoing work on policy development options and analysis of the call for evidence responses for the National Cancer Plan, the Department of Health and Social Care has not made a formal estimate of the proportion of children and young people with cancer and their families that are claiming travel costs from the HTCS. |

Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Thursday 15th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he plans to take to support children and young people with cancer with the cost of travelling to access their treatment and care in specialist centres. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department knows that the cost of travel is an important issue for many young cancer patients and their families in England.

Breast Cancer: Mental Health Services
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Thursday 15th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department plans to take to improve the provision of post-treatment psychological care for women diagnosed with breast cancer. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The National Health Service is committed to ensuring that all cancer patients in England, including women with breast cancer, have access to personalised care, including a needs assessment, a care plan, and health and wellbeing information and support. Psychosocial support, which can include NHS Talking Therapy services, provides evidence-based therapies for people with anxiety disorders and depression. To provide options for breast cancer survivors to preserve their fertility, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s (NICE) fertility guidelines set the clinical standards for the current NHS offer to people with cancer who wish to preserve their fertility. The NICE is currently reviewing its guidelines, with publication of a revised guideline expected later this year. Reducing inequalities and variation in cancer care, including for breast cancer care, is a priority for the Government. To address this, NHS England funded audits into primary and metastatic breast cancer. Using routine data collected on patients diagnosed with breast cancer in an NHS setting, the audits bring together information to look at what is being done well, where it is being done well, and what needs to be done better. Findings were published on 12 September 2024 by the National Cancer Audit Collaborating Centre, and officials in the Department and NHS England are considering next steps. Further information on the national audits of metastatic breast cancer and primary breast cancer is available, respectively, at the following two link: https://www.natcan.org.uk/audits/metastatic-breast/ https://www.natcan.org.uk/audits/primary-breast/ To raise awareness and educate women about primary prevention of breast cancer, the Government and the NHS promote a healthy lifestyle. In England, to promote physical activity, the NHS’s Better Health Campaign signposts people to digital support like the NHS Active 10 walking app. To address risks related to overweight and obesity, Government guidance on healthy eating, including the United Kingdom’s healthy eating model the Eatwell Guide, is communicated through the NHS.UK website and through a range of free, evidence-based tools and apps. |

Brain: Tumours
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Thursday 15th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has had discussions with Integrated Care Boards on commissioning pathways for suspected brain tumours in primary care. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department and NHS England published the 2025/26 priorities and operational planning guidance, which instructs integrated care boards (ICB) and primary care services to reform pathways in the National Health Service for all patients, including for cancer patients and those with brain tumours. The Elective Reform Plan, published January 2025, also specifies the actions systems and providers are expected to take in 2025/26, including driving pathway reform, for instance through straight to test pathway approaches. General practice (GP) teams are currently able to directly access tests for patients in several imaging modalities, including ultrasound, X-ray, computerised tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. NHS England also achieved the full implementation of the non-specific symptom (NSS) pathways across England, which allows GPs to refer patients for further tests when they display symptoms that could indicate cancer, but which do not align to specific cancers, including for brain cancer symptoms. There are currently 115 live NSS services. Furthermore, the Department announced the development of a new National Cancer Plan, to be published this year. The plan will have patients at its heart and will cover the entirety of the cancer pathway, from referral and diagnosis to treatment and aftercare. In developing the plan, the Department will consider how to streamline cancer pathways and ways to improve outcomes for cancer patients, including those with brain cancer.

Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department knows that the cost of travel is an important issue for many young cancer patients and their families in England.

Breast Cancer: Preventive Medicine
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Thursday 15th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the page 7 of the Economist Impact's report entitled Advancing Breast Cancer Care in Europe: a roadmap to a women-centric approach, published in April 2025, what steps his Department plans to take to raise the (a) awareness and (b) education for women about primary prevention of breast cancer. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The National Health Service is committed to ensuring that all cancer patients in England, including women with breast cancer, have access to personalised care, including a needs assessment, a care plan, and health and wellbeing information and support.

NHS: Staff
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Friday 16th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure NHS trusts do not have to (a) reduce substantive staff posts and (b) scale back service provision to meet operational priorities in 2025-26. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) We have changed the National Health Service operating model to devolve power to local leaders. The Darzi investigation highlighted that there were too many targets set for the NHS, which made it hard for local systems to prioritise their actions or be held properly accountable. 2025/26 NHS Planning Guidance therefore stripped back instructions to the NHS. These clear and concise instructions will allow local leaders to focus on the job of meeting patients’ needs and improving the communities they serve. We are giving more freedom and autonomy to good leaders, including clinical leaders and managers in the NHS who are coming up with some of the best ways of improving productivity gains in the system. 2025/26 Planning Guidance was clear that the 2025/26 financial year needs to mark a financial reset for the NHS, and that systems must develop plans, including for the numbers of substantive staff, that are affordable within the allocations set, exhausting all opportunities to improve productivity and tackle waste, and take decisions on how to prioritise resources to best meet the health needs of their local population. The NHS England Chief Executive also set out, on 1 April, further actions to lay the foundations for reform, including halving the growth in corporate costs in providers since 2018/19. |

Palliative Care: Finance
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Monday 19th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on providing long term, sustainable funding for palliative and end of life care services. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has regular discussions with my Rt. Hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and colleagues across the Cabinet on a whole host of issues across our brief, including palliative and end of life care services. However, as part of the work to develop the 10-Year Health Plan, we will be carefully considering policies, including those that impact people with palliative and end of life care needs, with input from the public, patients, health staff, and our partners. We want a society where every person receives high-quality, compassionate care from diagnosis through to the end of life. The Government is determined to shift more healthcare out of hospitals and into the community, to ensure patients and their families receive personalised care in the most appropriate setting, and palliative and end of life care services will have a big role to play in that shift. Additionally, in February, I met with key palliative and end of life care and hospice stakeholders, in a roundtable format with a focus on long-term sector sustainability within the context of our 10-Year Health Plan. |

Breast Cancer: Screening
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Thursday 22nd May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is planning to take to (a) develop and (b) maintain (i) national service specifications and (ii) minimum service requirements for the breast screening programme once commissioning of screening is delegated to ICBs. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) As set out in the NHS England Board paper of 6 February 2025, it is proposed that the development and maintenance of service specifications and minimum service requirements, quality assurance, and the overall oversight of screening services will remain a national function. In light of the recently announced organisational changes, a review of screening delegation decisions is being undertaken, alongside other directly commissioned services.
Work is progressing at pace to map functions, appraise options, and inform decision making on where NHS England’s current functions will best sit in the future. There are important choices to be made, and ministers and senior departmental officials are working with the new executive team at the top of NHS England, led by Sir Jim Mackey, to lead the formation of a new joint centre. |

Winter Fuel Payment
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Wednesday 28th May 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the oral contribution of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, in response to the question from the hon. Member for Wokingham of 12 February 2025, Official Report, column 176WH, when further information in writing will be provided. Answered by Torsten Bell - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury) It is not currently possible to accurately identify all pensioner households who may be entitled to Pension Credit from Council or DWP data. This is because eligibility for Pension Credit depends on a household’s specific financial and personal circumstances – information which the Department does not usually hold but requires from the customer.
However, there are significant opportunities for DWP and Councils to work together, not least on the overlap between Pensions Credit and Housing Benefit. As part of our Pension Credit campaign, the Department wrote to 120,000 pensioner households in receipt of Housing Benefit inviting them to claim Pension Credit. Using existing Housing Benefit data, which local authorities also have access to, enabled the Department to make an assessment of potential Pension Credit eligibility and target those households directly. Since February, we have been targeting all new Housing Benefit claimants who we identify as potentially eligible for Pension Credit in this way.
More generally, the Department shares extensive data with local authorities for a variety of purposes. Despite what is sometimes claimed, local authorities are allowed to re-use that data under the terms of a data sharing Memorandum of Understanding, subject to them seeking their own legal advice, and subject to them notifying the Department of their intent. This data reuse process can include reusing data originating from DWP to help identify people eligible for Pension Credit.
