Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has plans to update the Clinical Practice Guidance for the Assessment of Young Women aged 20-24 with Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding from 2010.

The Clinical Practice Guidance for the Assessment of Young Women aged 20 to 24 years with Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding was produced by the former Public Health England. Since 2021, its functions have been shared across a number of organisations. NHS England and NHS Improvement have no plans to update this guidance. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence produce guidance and pathways for health professionals on possible cervix cancer, which is available at the following link:
