Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to help reduce waiting times for elective surgeries in Stretford and Urmston constituency.
Answered by Robert Jenrick
The ‘Delivery plan for tackling the COVID-19 backlog of elective care’ how the National Health Service will recover and expand elective services over the next three years, including in Stretford and Urmston. We have allocated more than £8 billion from 2022/23 to 2024/25, in addition to the £2 billion Elective Recovery Fund and £700 million Targeted Investment Fund already made available in 2021/2022 to increase elective activity. This funding aims to deliver the equivalent of approximately nine million additional checks and procedures and 30% further elective activity by 2024/25 than pre-pandemic levels. A proportion of this funding will be invested in workforce capacity and training and we have committed to invest £5.9 billion for new beds, equipment and technology.
The target to eliminate waiting times of two years or more for elective procedures was met in July 2022 and we aim to eliminate waiting time of eighteen months or more by April 2023. This will be achieved through increasing capacity, seeking alternate capacity in other trusts or the independent sector and engaging with patients to understand choices made regarding their care.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to help increase the uptake of breast cancer screening in Stretford and Urmston constituency.
Answered by Will Quince
The Department is working with NHS England to finalise the delivery of £10 million for breast screening units, including determining which areas will benefit from this investment.
National Health Service breast screening providers are also encouraged to work with Cancer Alliances, Primary Care Networks, NHS regional teams and the voluntary sector to promote the uptake of breast screening and ensure access to services.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent estimate she has made of the number of Afghan citizens referred to her Department as eligible for relocation under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy who remain in Afghanistan awaiting permission to enter the UK.
Answered by Kevin Foster
An estimated 6,500 people, who are eligible for the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy, remain in Afghanistan.
Securing safe passage out of Afghanistan continues to present a barrier to the international community’s efforts to relocate eligible people and their families. There are no direct flights and some will need to consider very carefully what is the best option to travel safely through the country in order to reach a third country.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she plans to publish the report of the Independent Review of Prevent.

Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many people accepted under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy remain in Afghanistan as of 28 June 2022.
Answered by James Heappey
As of 29 June 2022, we are aware of approximately 650 ARAP eligible principals who last reported their location as Afghanistan to the Ministry of Defence. It is not always possible to know whether all eligible persons are still in the country as some may be out of contact or have moved independently to a safe country.
Neighbouring countries are discouraging movement of Afghans without passports and visas. Whilst we have arrangements for moving people that are operationally sensitive, this can only be achieved at a rate that partners are content to support. The UK government continues to bring people out at the best pace possible.

Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 14 July 2022 to Question 31829 on Prisoners: Location and the Answer of 24 March 2022 to Question HL6866 on Prisoners: Females, what the average travelling distance between (a) female and (b) male prisons and the prisoner's home address was in each year since 2010.
Answered by Simon Baynes
Although travelling distance from home was historically provided on an ad hoc basis for specific time frames, this calculation method was discontinued in 2019 and replaced with straight-line modelling.
Straight-line modelling is the most consistent calculation method. Attempts to model based on travelling distance are subject to high levels of temporal and geographical variation (e.g. inner city travel time).
As such, the information requested is deemed less useful than straight-line modelling data. It is therefore not routinely calculated and is not currently held.
