Blood Cancer: Research
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Tuesday 6th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the National Cancer Plan will take steps to increase the number of clinical academics dedicated to blood cancer research. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government has announced that the National Cancer Plan will be published this year, following publication of the 10-Year Health Plan. We are now in discussions about what form it should take, including how we will ensure that cancer patients across England receive the benefits of the United Kingdom’s world-leading cancer research. We will provide updates on this in due course. We have received over 11,000 responses, from individuals, professionals, and organisations, to our call for evidence, which closed on 29 April 2025, and we are now considering those responses to inform our plan to improve cancer care. Through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), the Department is the largest funder of research training for clinical academics in the UK, supporting clinical academics at all career stages and from all professions and specialties. Since 2006, The NIHR has supported 16,000 career development awards and 13,000 awardees across 200 different professions and specialties. Since 2006, the NIHR Academy has funded 137 academic clinical fellowships, 39 clinical lectureships, and nine awards at a doctoral and post-doctoral level in haematology. The total annual spend on research training across the NIHR is estimated at £220 million. The Department is committed to implementing the recommendations of Lord O'Shaughnessy’s review into commercial clinical trials, making sure that the UK leads the world in clinical trials, and ensuring that innovative, lifesaving treatments are accessible to National Health Service patients, including those with blood cancer. In September 2024, NHS England announced a new targeted treatment, Quizartinib, to be prescribed to newly diagnosed patients with a specific type of leukaemia, boosting their chance of remission and long-term survival, made available through NHS England’s Cancer Drugs Fund, which fast-tracks new innovative cancer treatments into standard care. This followed a previous announcement of the new treatment Zanubrutini, in August 2024, for those with marginal zone lymphoma, which could halt the progression of their cancer and provide an alternative to further rounds of chemotherapy. |

Blood Cancer: Staff
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Tuesday 6th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking with blood cancer (a) charities, (b) academic institutions and (c) professional bodies to improve recruitment and retention in the blood cancer workforce. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Decisions about recruitment are matters for individual National Health Service trusts. NHS trusts manage their recruitment at a local level, ensuring they have the right number of staff in place, with the right skill mix, to deliver safe and effective care. The Government is committed to making the NHS the best place to work, to ensure that we retain more of our skilled and dedicated staff. NHS England is leading work nationally through its retention programme to drive a consistent, system-wide approach to staff retention across NHS trusts. This ensures trusts have access to proven retention strategies, data-driven monitoring, and can foster a more stable, engaged, productive, and supported workforce. NHS England is working with partners, including the Royal College of Pathologists, Cancer Alliances, and genomics programme leads, to strengthen diagnostic workforce capacity across cancer services, including pathology and cancer genomics. This includes investing in new training pathways, digital pathology, and genomics education. |

Blood Cancer: Staff
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Tuesday 6th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to support the (a) mental health and (b) emotional wellbeing of the blood cancer workforce. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) It is important that all National Health Service staff are able to work in a supportive and inclusive environment that prioritises their health and wellbeing. Employers across the NHS have their own arrangements in place for supporting their staff, including occupation health provision, employee support programmes, and health and wellbeing guardian roles to ensure board level scrutiny. To support them, NHS England has a wide-ranging package of mental health and wellbeing support for all staff, which includes access to counselling services, access to a range of wellbeing apps, and tools and resources to support line managers on staff wellbeing. NHS employees also have access to the SHOUT helpline for crisis support, alongside the Practitioner Health offer for more complex mental health wellbeing support, including for trauma and addiction. |

Blood Cancer: Health Professions
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Tuesday 6th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many (a) haematologists and (b) haemato-oncologists work in the NHS; and what the target numbers are for those professions. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) As of January 2025, there are 2,181 full time equivalent (FTE) doctors working in the specialty of haematology across National Health Service trusts and integrated care boards in England. This includes 1,025 FTE consultant haematologists. The Department does not hold information on the number of haemato-oncologists. No specific targets have been set for the number of staff in these medical specialties. Appropriate levels of staffing will be decided by local system workforce planning. |

Cancer: Clinical Trials
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Tuesday 6th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of age-related eligibility criteria on the inclusion of (a) teenagers and (b) young adults in cancer clinical trials. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department is committed to maximising the United Kingdom’s potential to lead the world in clinical research, with the aim of ensuring that all patients, including teenagers and young adults with cancer, have access to cutting-edge clinical trials and innovative, lifesaving treatments. The eligibility of patients for a clinical trial is determined by a set of criteria designed to ensure the safety of participants and the scientific validity of the study. These criteria are decided by each study's sponsors and researchers, based on scientific evidence, study goals, and safety considerations. The Department is working closely with the National Health Service, industry, academia, research regulators, and charities to make clinical research in the UK more efficient, more competitive, and more accessible. We expect these efforts to attract more commercial investment in clinical research and yield a broad and diverse portfolio of clinical trials in the UK, including clinical trials for teenagers and young adults with cancer. The Department funded National Institute for Health and Care Research funds research and research infrastructure, which supports patients and the public to participate in high-quality research, including clinical trial participation for young people with cancer. |

Cancer: Clinical Trials
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Tuesday 6th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reason age is used to determine eligibility for cancer clinical trials; and whether he is taking steps to ensure that people aged between 16 and 24 have equitable access to such trials. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department is committed to maximising the United Kingdom’s potential to lead the world in clinical research, with the aim of ensuring that all patients, including teenagers and young adults with cancer, have access to cutting-edge clinical trials and innovative, lifesaving treatments.

Hospitals: Construction
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Wednesday 7th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what support his Department is providing to hospital trusts waiting for their wave of the New Hospital Programme to be implemented. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Some Wave 2 and 3 schemes will receive funding for specific agreed activities, such as land purchases, that can be progressed during the Spending Review period. We will continue to engage with trusts over the next five years to establish whether there are any activities that can be progressed during the Spending Review period. The Government recognises that in the interim, delivering high-quality National Health Service healthcare services requires safe, sustainable, and effective infrastructure. That is why the Government is backing the NHS with over £4 billion in operational capital and £750 million for estates safety in 2025/26, enabling systems to allocate funding according to local priorities, including maintenance and repairs at New Hospital Programme (NHP) sites. NHS trusts waiting for their NHP wave to be implemented should discuss options with the responsible system in order to allocate 2025/26 operational capital and national programme allocations towards needs at their sites. Capital funding levels beyond 2025/26 will be determined by the current Spending Review, concluding in June of this year, which will consider the needs of the NHS estate. |

Department of Health and Social Care: Public Expenditure
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Wednesday 7th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the Transformation Fund announced in the Spring Statement 2025; and whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of using a portion of this money for the palliative and end of life care sector. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) We want a society where every person receives high-quality, compassionate care from diagnosis through to the end of life. The Government is determined to shift more healthcare out of hospitals and into the community, to ensure patients and their families receive personalised care in the most appropriate setting, and palliative and end of life care services will have a big role to play in that shift.
In February, I met with key palliative and end of life care and hospice stakeholders, in a roundtable format with a focus on long-term sector sustainability within the context of our 10-Year Health Plan. As part of the Spring Statement, Government announced a £3.25 billion Transformation Fund to drive efficiencies across government and save money later in the Parliament, and set out how this would be allocated over the Spending Review process. The Spending Review is underway, and details will be announced on 11 June 2025. |

Cancer: Clinical Trials
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Wednesday 7th May 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department is taking steps to improve the (a) collection and (b) reporting of age-disaggregated data on participation in cancer clinical trials for (i) people aged between 16 and 24 and (ii) other people other than through the National Institute for Health and Care Research. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), funded by the Department, funds research and research infrastructure, which supports patients and the public to participate in high-quality research, including cancer clinical trials. The NIHR Research Delivery Network collects age-disaggregated data on participation in cancer clinical trials across all age groups, for studies supported by NIHR infrastructure, and reports on this data where appropriate. The Department is working with NHS England and other partners to develop a new data collection approach which will include the age of people participating in NIHR funded studies, including for cancer clinical trials. Once established, this could be expanded to include age data from studies supported by other funders. The Department is committed to maximising the United Kingdom’s potential to lead the world in clinical research, with the aim of ensuring that all patients, including those with cancer, have access to cutting-edge clinical trials and innovative, lifesaving treatments. |

Animal Experiments: Research
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Thursday 8th May 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of transitioning to animal free medical research methods on the economy. Answered by Feryal Clark - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The Labour Manifesto commits to “partner with scientists, industry, and civil society as we work towards the phasing out of animal testing”. The government will publish a strategy to support the development, validation and uptake of alternative methods later this year, which will consider economic impacts. Home to world leading research and pharmaceutical businesses, the UK is well positioned to capitalise on the global non-animal technologies for life sciences market, estimated to be worth $29.4 billion by 2030, and on the scientific and economic advantages of more human-relevant methods applied in product development and testing. |

Animal Experiments: Research
Asked by: Clive Jones (Liberal Democrat - Wokingham) Thursday 8th May 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of transitioning to animal free medical research methods on public health. Answered by Feryal Clark - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The Labour Manifesto commits to “partner with scientists, industry, and civil society as we work towards the phasing out of animal testing”. Recent developments in technology, in particular cell biology, organoids and AI, promise a step-change in the utility of alternatives to animal testing, which are expected to be more accurate than current animal-based approaches. These alternatives have the potential to improve understanding of human disease, reduce research development time and improve efficacy of therapeutics, providing substantial benefits for public health. The Government will publish a strategy for supporting the development, validation and uptake of alternative methods later this year. |

Answered by Feryal Clark - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The Labour Manifesto commits to “partner with scientists, industry, and civil society as we work towards the phasing out of animal testing”, which is a long-term goal. While it is not yet possible to replace all animal use due to the complexity of biological systems and regulatory requirements, we support the development and application of approaches that replace, reduce and refine animal use in research (the 3Rs). Work to support this transition must be science-led and in lock step with partners. The government will publish a strategy to support the development, validation and uptake of alternative methods later this year. |
