Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many NHS trusts offer faecal occult blood testing for suspected bowel cancer.
Answered by David Mowat
All hospital trusts are able to offer Faecal Occult Blood testing (FOBt) for patients if clinically appropriate. New guidelines by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence published in June 2015 state that general practitioners should offer FOBt to assess for colorectal cancer in adults without rectal bleeding who are aged 50 and over with unexplained abdominal pain or weight loss. FOBt should also be offered to adults aged under 60 with changes in their bowel habit or iron deficiency anaemia, and to adults aged 60 and over who have anaemia even in the absence of iron deficiency.
The NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme in England offers screening by FOBt to men and women aged 60 to 75, with five laboratories processing the testing kits. NHS England is working with Public Health England to replace FOBt with a new screening test, the Faecal Immunochemical Test for haemoglobin, in 2018. This comes in addition to the introduction of bowel scope screening into the programme for men and women aged 55, which has been commissioned by NHS England since April 2016 with full roll-out across England expected to be completed by 2020-21.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to the contribution of the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to the Environmental Audit Committee on 25 October 2016, Question 332, what proportion of existing EU legislation within the policy remit of his Department cannot immediately be brought into UK law upon the UK leaving the EU.
Answered by David Mowat
The Government will bring forward legislation in the next session that, when enacted, will repeal the European Communities Act 1972 and ensure a functioning statute book on the day we leave the European Union. This ‘Great Repeal Bill’ will end the authority of EU law and return power to the United Kingdom. The Bill will convert existing EU law into domestic law, wherever practical.
The Government will set out the content of the Bill and its implications in due course.

Cumulative MenACWY vaccine uptake data showing the position at the end August 2016 have been published by Public Health England:
Vaccine uptake data for other groups offered MenACWY vaccine in schools are not available by CCG.
