NHS: Dementia Treatment Trials
My Lords, if our intention is to increase the diagnosis rate of early dementia, normally what we would do is to find a screening test that would identify people at risk of any disease. There is one called Mini-Cog; it takes three minutes to administer an

Prostate Cancer Screening: AI
My Lords, several trials are assessing the use of AI for prostate cancer screening and diagnostics, as well as testing the accuracy of digital imaging and histological imaging of biopsies to understand better the progression of disease. Some of them are

Compassionate Use Medicine Schemes: VAT
My Lords, going back to the question about access to compassionate medicine, as I understand, the Minister just stated that medicines that are not yet authorised or licensed can be issued if companies agree to provide them for free, and that HMRC charges

Rare Cancers: Diagnosis and Treatment
My Lords, we lead in genomic science and infrastructure by having established seven hubs for genomic testing. Despite this, we fall behind in testing for liquid biopsies of DNA and for circulating DNA, in histology testing, in molecular testing of cancer
I suggest that the Minister looks again at the evidence produced recently by Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Wegovy drugs for obesity reduction, to see whether what was just said still applies in the new study.

Prostate Cancer Screening
My Lords, coming back to the Question from the noble Baroness, Lady Royall of Blaisdon, it is disappointing that the screening committee did not approve of screening for people with a strong family history, particularly of breast cancer, which the Minist

Sovereign AI Fund
My Lords, I commend the Government for their sovereign AI development, particularly the Isambard-AI project at Bristol University, which has one of the world’s fastest processors. My question relates to parallel development. Do the Government still have
My Lords, the vaccine that exists is effective only against Ebola Zaire. The strain now operating has had two previous minor breakouts; Bundibugyo is the name of the strain. I hope the Minister will agree that our hope lies in developing a vaccine as qui

King’s Speech
My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for that notice before I got up. In the brief few minutes I have, I am going to speak mostly about the Health Bill. The Bill is light in legislation, with 72 clauses and 48 pages, but it has 143 pages of schedules. One wo

Miscarriage Care
My Lords, in an era of more personalised medicine, it is important to note that the care of women who have miscarried is dependent on several factors: the gestation age when miscarriage occurs, the age of the mother, and any existing diseases. It is not

Healthy Life Expectancy: England
My Lords, healthy life expectancy is a mix of two data: a more precise life expectancy and a much cruder self-reporting of the stages of health. This leads to a confusing interpretation and therefore is not helpful in policy-making decisions. We have to

UK Biobank Data
My Lords, I thank the Minister for his reply on the Statement, and I commend the Government for taking immediate action when this data breach was known. Last Tuesday, the Science and Technology Committee took evidence from the chief executive of UK Bioba

Women’s Health Strategy
My Lords, my interests are well known in regard to women’s health. I congratulate the Minister on this report, which I think is a good one. The gaps are in how, in some places, it will be delivered on. But I also recognise her personal commitment to impr

That the Grand Committee takes note of cancer outcomes in the UK and of plans to improve them including diagnostic care and research.

Cancer Outcomes in the UK
My Lords, I thank the Minister for her comprehensive response. She might reflect on some of the other points that she was not able to answer, such as the one on isotopes, which is very important. We have debated that before. One or two noble Lords quite

Cancer Outcomes in the UK
Thank you. One in two people in the United Kingdom will develop cancer. Being born with cancer is rare, but a new cancer diagnosis is made every 75 seconds. The UK consistently ranks near the bottom of the table for survivals and deaths from cancers. Tha

Cancer Outcomes in the UK
My Lords, sitting on the same side as the Minister does not mean that I am on her side. I thank all noble Lords taking part in the debate and look forward to their contributions. There is a formidable array of talent, so the Minister should get a good re

Migraine Care: 10-year Health Plan
My Lords, migraine as a symptom is a manifestation of a whole spectrum of different diseases, both neurological and vascular, and some are based on allergies. The important aspect of treating migraines is correct diagnosis, and advances in diagnostic tec

Unpaid Carers: Patient Hospital Discharge
My Lords, although the better care fund is a help, its success depends on how hospitals and the LGA work together. Would the Minister agree that the fund is still used to fund short-term gaps, particularly winter pressures, and that the yearly funding cy

NHS: In-house Software Capabilities
My Lords, it is historically true that the NHS wasted a lot of money, but this was partly because the development of digital services was in-house. Currently, things are looking much better, and the classic example is the development of the NHS app. Howe

NHS: Heart Valve Disease
My Lords, management of people with heart valve disease is truly a low-hanging fruit in reducing deaths due to cardiovascular disease. Some 400 people a year die on waiting lists for transcatheter aortic valve implantation. It is simple for people who ha
