Written Question
Cancer: Human Papillomavirus
Friday 19th April 2024

Asked by: Virendra Sharma (Labour - Ealing, Southall)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she is taking to eliminate (a) cervical and (b) other cancer caused by human papillomavirus.

Answered by Maria Caulfield

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, alongside routine screening, is key to protecting people against strains of HPV that can cause some cancers including cervical, anal, head and neck cancer.

The NHS Cervical Screening Programme (CSP) provides all women and people with a cervix between the ages of 25 and 64 years old with the opportunity to be screened routinely, to detect certain types of HPV infection which cause 99.7% of cervical cancer. An in-service evaluation is being commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Care Research to determine whether HPV self-sampling could be used to improve the NHS CSP.

The HPV vaccination is offered to all adolescents in Year 8 of school, and catch-up vaccinations are available to those up to 25 years old, those born on or after 1 September 2006, for both females and males who may have missed vaccination under the schools’ programme, providing an additional failsafe. The HPV vaccination is also recommended to gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, up to and including those aged 45 years old.

NHS England’s vaccination strategy sets out a range of ambitions to improve uptake across the National Health Service’s vaccination programmes. This includes building on existing work and delivery to develop implementation plans for how HPV vaccinations, alongside cervical screening and pre-cancer treatment, can help achieve the NHS ambition to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040.

Written Question
MMR Vaccine: Health Education
Wednesday 7th February 2024

Asked by: Taiwo Owatemi (Labour - Coventry North West)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she is taking to help ensure that schools are providing adequate information to (a) students and (b) parents on the (i) merits and (ii) associated risks of measles vaccinations.

Answered by Maria Caulfield

The UK Health Security Agency provides a range of publications in various languages and formats to provide information about the national immunisation programme including the measles, mumps and rubella vaccination programme, for students and parents, which are available at the following link:

https://www.healthpublications.gov.uk/Home.html

These publications and those on the National Health Service website allow students and parents to understand the merits and associated risks of the measles vaccination to allow for informed consent. More information is available at the following links:

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/measles/

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/mmr-vaccine/

NHS England regional teams are working closely with wider system partners within the local health economy to increase the uptake of all NHS routine and seasonal vaccinations, including those delivered in schools.
