Genomics
Asked by: John McDonnell (Independent - Hayes and Harlington) Tuesday 13th 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 impact of the proposed abolition of NHS England on (a) Genomics England and (b) the provision of whole genome sequencing to patients with rare cancers by the NHS Genomics Medicine Service. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Genomics is a powerful healthcare technology, aiding diagnosis and informing treatment for rare diseases and certain cancers. Ministers and senior Department officials will work with the new Executive Team at the top of NHS England, led by Sir Jim Mackey, to jointly lead this transformation. As we work to return many of NHS England’s current functions to the Department, we will ensure that we continue to evaluate impacts of all kinds. Throughout the transition, we will retain our focus on patient care, ensuring continuity of care and that there are no risks to patient safety. In addition, the National Cancer Plan for England will be published in the second half of this year, and will not be adversely affected by the work to bring the two organisations together. The plan will seek to improve every aspect of cancer care to better the experiences and outcomes for people with cancer, including outcomes for people with rare cancers. |

Development Aid: Sexual and Reproductive Health
Asked by: John McDonnell (Independent - Hayes and Harlington) Monday 19th May 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will increase development funding for sexual and reproductive health and rights. Answered by Stephen Doughty - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) Official Development Assistance (ODA) allocations are being worked through as part of the ongoing Spending Review and resource allocation process, following the decision to reduce UK ODA from 0.5 per cent of gross national income to 0.3 per cent in 2027. Decisions on individual programmes and thematic areas will be based on various factors including equality impact assessments. The UK is committed to promoting and defending universal and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) including safe abortion. The evidence shows that supporting comprehensive SRHR through proven evidence-based public health interventions saves lives and supports prosperity. The UK's commitment to defending and promoting SRHR has never just been about aid. We will use multiple levers: working to influence policy, through health and development diplomacy, as well as using our ODA budget, to advance SRHR for all. |
