To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an estimate of the number of missed breast cancer screening appointments by women whose employers have not allowed them to attend during working hours; and if will he make a statement.
This information is not collected.
The NHS Breast Screening Programme offers all women in England who are aged from 50 up until their 71st birthday and registered with a general practitioner or resident in an area are automatically invited for screening every three years. Although in some areas women may be invited from the age of 47 as part of the age extension trial.
A timed appointment at a specific screening location and date is offered. If the appointment scheduled is inconvenient, women can telephone to reschedule their appointment. Otherwise, if they do not attend, they will be sent a further timed appointment to attend for screening.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps the Government is taking to improve the early diagnosis of lung cancer; and if he will make a statement.
NHS England has made £200 million transformation funding available over two years to drive earlier diagnosis and support people living with and beyond cancer.
A number of initiatives are in place to improve early diagnosis of cancer, including lung cancer:
- NHE England is implementing the nationally agreed rapid assessment and diagnostic pathways for lung, prostate and colorectal cancers, ensuring that patients get timely access to the latest diagnosis and treatment.
- Public Health England ran a national Be Clear On Cancer respiratory symptoms campaign from April to August 2017, focusing on the symptoms of persistent cough and breathlessness. The campaign covered lung cancer along with other conditions such as heart disease and other lung disease. Further information is available at:

- NHS England is also trialling new ways of diagnosing cancers faster and earlier, including through pilot programmes offering low dose computed tomography scanning based on an assessment of lung cancer risk in clinical commissioning groups with low lung cancer survival rates.
