Written Question
Health Services
Wednesday 15th May 2024

Asked by: Karin Smyth (Labour - Bristol South)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether she has made an assessment of progress in the development of a clinical analytical service for specialised commissioning.

Answered by Helen Whately - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

Commissioners of Specialised Services have access to the analysis of clinical data via their regional business intelligence teams, or the nationally commissioned Commissioning Support Unit (CSU) service provision.

Routine reporting can be accessed via the National Commissioning Data Repository, and more focused analytics can be performed across commissioning and clinical datasets collected by NHS England. NHS England has developed 181 Specialised Services Quality Dashboards alongside service specifications, which provide additional data to monitor the quality of services and maintain clinical registries ranging from bowel cancer to pulmonary hypertension. The full list is available at the following link:

Closed Petition closed 22nd November 2023

Fund bowel cancer screening from the age of 40 - Final Signatures: 587

The NHS is expanding its bowel cancer screening programme to people aged 50 and over. We want the Government to fund this to start at 40. Too many people under 50 are being given terminal cancer diagnoses. If screening was offered earlier more cases could be caught earlier, saving more people.

Found: Too many clinicians don't test for cancer in people under the age of screening.
