Iran: Nuclear Weapons
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Thursday 24th July 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 14 July 2025 to Question 65492 on Iran: Nuclear Weapons, whether his Department has received information on the Iranian nuclear programme from (a) allies and (b) the International Atomic Energy Agency since August 2023. Answered by Luke Pollard - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) The Government continues to work closely with our allies to monitor Iran’s nuclear programme, and is in regular contact with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)including through the UK’s permanent mission in Vienna. The IAEA issued its latest report on the status of Iran’s nuclear programme on 31 May 2025. This report confirmed that Iran had continued to expand its nuclear programme, including through accumulating a large stockpile of High Enriched Uranium. We are also concerned by the Iranian law proposing a suspension of cooperation with the IAEA. Iran must urgently resume cooperation with the IAEA to enable the Agency to verify Iran’s nuclear material as it is legally required to do under its Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement with the IAEA. |

Human Papillomavirus: Epsom and Ewell
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Friday 25th July 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the target HPV vaccination rate for Epsom and Ewell constituency was in (a) 2023-24 and (b) 2024-25; what the actual vaccination rate was in those periods; and whether his Department plans to reach the World Health Organization vaccination target rate. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage is presented for England at national, National Health Service commissioning region, and local authority levels. Data is not gathered at constituency level. Vaccine coverage data for the routine school-aged HPV immunisation programme in England, including for the 2023 to 2024 academic year, is available at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/vaccine-uptake#hpv-vaccine-uptake Please refer to the supporting tables for local level uptake data. Given the global public health burden of cervical cancer caused by HPV, the World Health Assembly adopted the Global strategy to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem, with a target of 90% of girls being fully vaccinated with the HPV vaccine by 15 years old. This target focuses on the coverage of girls only. Further information on the strategy to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer is available at the following link: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240014107 In March 2025, NHS England published the Cervical cancer elimination plan by 2040 – for England, which outlines how the NHS will improve uptake and coverage across HPV vaccination and cervical screening. Further information on the Cervical cancer elimination plan by 2040 – for England is available at the following link: https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/cervical-cancer-elimination-by-2040-plan-for-england/ |

Trastuzumab Deruxtecan
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Monday 1st September 2025 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 impact of NICE’s rejection of trastuzumab deruxtecan for use in secondary breast cancer treatment on patient outcomes. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Decisions on whether new medicines should be routinely funded by the National Health Service in England are made on the basis of recommendations from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) following an evaluation of a treatment’s costs and benefits. These are very difficult decisions to make, and it is important that they are made independently and on the basis of the available evidence. NICE published guidance in July 2024 on the use of Enhertu for the treatment of HER-2 low metastatic and unresectable breast cancer and was unfortunately unable to recommend it for routine NHS funding. I understand that NICE and NHS England have sought to apply as much flexibility as they can in their considerations of Enhertu for HER2-low breast cancer and have made it clear to the companies that their pricing of the drug remains the only obstacle to access. Ministers met with the manufacturers of Enhertu, AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo, in November 2024, to encourage them to re-engage in commercial discussions with NHS England. Despite NICE and NHS England offering unprecedented flexibilities, the companies were unable to offer Enhertu at a cost-effective price. NICE’s guidance published in July 2024 will therefore remain unchanged. NICE has reassured me that the door remains open for the companies to enter into a new NICE appraisal if they are willing to offer Enhertu at a cost-effective price. Since January 2022, NICE has recommended all but one of the treatments for breast cancer that it has assessed. These treatments are now available to eligible NHS patients. |

Hospitals: Infrastructure
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Monday 1st September 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what mechanisms are in place to ensure (a) local community and (b) patient engagement in the (i) design and (ii) delivery of new NHS hospital infrastructure. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Hospital 2.0 is the New Hospital Programme’s (NHP) approach to standardising the design for future hospitals and has been designed and developed with people with lived and learnt experiences throughout the stages of the design process, from strategic outline business cases, early plans to commissioning, and full operationalisation. Stakeholders include National Health Service staff, NHS trusts, royal colleges, patients, and the public, as well as the supply chain. Over 1,300 clinicians, over 400 patients and lived experience partners, and 57 architects and designers have worked alongside subject matter experts to feed into the design process. This is to ensure that new hospitals will meet current and future healthcare needs, and that patients and staff are at the heart of its designs.
The NHP works collaboratively with NHS England and trusts to ensure that the design of each hospital is right-sized for local circumstances and tailored to the needs of the local community.
The NHP is currently embarking on another cycle of formal engagement workshops with key national stakeholders to showcase the current progress of Hospital 2.0 designs, with a workshop focussed on the patient and public perspectives.
Outside the NHP, the majority of investment in new hospital infrastructure relates to works on part of a site or to renovation and maintenance, and so is subject to local design considerations. When healthcare services are relocated to a new site a formal process of consultation is followed.

Breast Cancer: Medical Treatments
Asked by: Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat - Epsom and Ewell) Monday 1st September 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of NICE’s severity modifier on access to new treatments for incurable secondary breast cancer. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is responsible for the methods and processes that it uses in the development of its recommendations. The severity modifier was introduced in January 2022 as part of a number of changes intended to make NICE’s methods fairer, faster, and more consistent. NICE carried out a review of the implementation of the severity modifier in September 2024 and found that it is operating as intended. This showed that the proportion of positive cancer recommendations is higher, at 84.8%, than with the end-of-life modifier it replaced, at 75%, and the proportion of positive recommendations for advanced cancer treatments is also higher, at 81.1% compared to 69%. Since January 2022, NICE has recommended all but one of the treatments for breast cancer that it has assessed. These treatments are now available to eligible National Health Service patients. NICE has commissioned research to gather further evidence on societal preferences that will inform future method reviews. |
