My Lords, I will follow up on that reference to the TRANSFORM trial. Black men are around twice as likely to develop prostate cancer and to die from it, yet historically they have been underrepresented in many screening and research programmes. The Minis

Integrated Care Boards: Budgets
My Lords, I will follow up on the question asked by the noble Baroness, Lady Gerada, on the Health and Care Act 2022. I remember that during the debates on the Bill there were calls for many specialisms to be represented on integrated care boards. In ord

Rare Cancers: Diagnosis and Treatment

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, I thank the Minister for his recent letter and the meeting he convened last week, but also for clearly laying out the ambitions for this financial services Bill. For many years, I sat on the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs of the Eur
My Lords, I too thank the most reverend Primate for securing this important debate. While the speech outlined some of the more existential questions, I will try to build on the most reverend Primate’s comments on healthcare. It is also a pleasure to foll
My Lords, NHS England’s target is for at least 67% of people with dementia to receive a formal diagnosis, yet we know that many areas struggle to meet that benchmark. Given what noble Lords have said about early intervention, but also that new Alzheimer’

Breast Cancer Screening: Women Over 70
My Lords, I thank the Minister for sharing her personal experience; I am sure our thoughts are with her. The Government have rightly said they want a shift from treatment to prevention, and the Minister will know that one element of prevention is testing

El Niño: Impact
My Lords, I am not going to ask the Minister about the weather for the weekend. I am going to ask her about a debate around how we tackle wildfires. There is a view that in order to tackle wildfires we have to remove scrub, but at the same time people be

Women’s Health Strategy
My Lords, I thank the Minister for tabling the Statement. I am sure that the ambitions for the renewed women’s health strategy will be supported by noble Lords from all Benches. I know that the Minister recognises that women have too often felt unheard,

Midwives: Graduate Guarantee
My Lords, as we have heard from other noble Lords, we have two situations. One is that 31% of newly qualified midwives have been unable to secure posts; the other is that we have well-documented shortages. The Minister talked about the graduate guarantee

Tobacco and Vapes Bill
My Lords, I should be clear that, given this Motion brings forward an amendment that corrects a technical error and the Government have explained their rationale, we will not oppose it.

NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics
My Lords, this is a highly sensitive topic, and I think we have to be very careful about how we talk about it. Evidence published in the BMJ shows a fiftyfold increase in recorded cases of gender dysphoria among children and young people between 2011 and
I can add to that. What is the process for notifying those who will come under this regulation? That would be helpful to know as well.
A number of noble Lords have raised concerns, and I am going just to outline or repeat a few of them. The first is that the department’s own assessment acknowledges that the costs associated with registration and ongoing compliance are estimated, for new
My Lords, as other noble Lords were declaring their interests, I thought, “Oh, that’s good; I have no relevant interests”. But, the last time I thought that, a number of people tweeted at me for not declaring my interests, so I will bore all noble Lords

Migraine Care: 10-year Health Plan

Unpaid Carers: Patient Hospital Discharge
My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Pitkeathley, for being a tireless champion of unpaid carers over many years and successive Governments. She quite rightly pointed out that Carers UK found that only 14% of unpaid carers were asked about their ab

GP Contract
My Lords, I am grateful to the Government for this repeat. The Minister in the other place pointed to 1.3 million referrals being diverted through something called “advice and guidance”. This means that GPs must seek input from a specialist before making

NHS: In-house Software Capabilities
My Lords, there is always a very difficult balance between keeping something in-house or outsourcing it, and we should not forget the national programme for IT in the NHS in the early 2000s, which ended up costing between £10 billion and £20 billion. My
