Hannah Bardell (Scottish National Party - Livingston)
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 taking to ensure blood cancer patients receive adequate emotional and psychological support during their treatment.
Answered by Seema Kennedy
In line with the NHS Long Term Plan, by 2021 every cancer patient will be offered personalised care and support planning, based on a holistic needs assessment, done in conjunction with the patient and in accordance with the NHS England Comprehensive Personalised Care model. This will be offered whether the person is due to undergo treatment or not, and includes all patients with blood cancer.

Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of extending the Scottish Cancer Referral Guidelines for the rest of the UK to ensure consistent diagnoses of cancer.
Answered by Seema Kennedy
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) updated referral guidelines for suspected cancer was published in June 2015, ‘Suspected cancer: recognition and referral.’ It was estimated that the updated guideline could save about 5,000 lives a year with general practitioners (GPs) urged to think of cancer sooner and lower the referral threshold for tests. The NHS Long Term Plan also reaffirms that all GPs should use the latest evidence-based guidance from NICE to identify people at risk of cancer.
