To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her department is taking to increase localised preventive care and diagnostic capacity in parliamentary constituencies where UK Health Security Agency profile data indicates Type 2 diabetes prevalence exceeds 12 per cent, such as Leicester East.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her department is taking to increase localised preventive care and diagnostic capacity in parliamentary constituencies where UK Health Security Agency profile data indicates Type 2 diabetes prevalence exceeds 12 per cent, such as Leicester East.
NHS England commissions the Healthier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme available to all integrated care boards (ICBs) in England. For eligible people with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes, NHS England commissions the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme, which is also available to all ICBs in England.
Together, these national programmes complement locally commissioned prevention, weight management and diabetes care services, helping to address the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes by preventing or delaying new cases.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to improve testing capacity for blue tongue.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to improve testing capacity for blue tongue.
Defra has taken proactive steps to strengthen the national capacity for the testing of bluetongue in response to increased demand. Testing is now also being undertaken by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) at Weybridge alongside the National Reference Laboratory at The Pirbright Institute, helping to manage high sample volumes and support timely results.
A new online reporting form will be launched on Friday 11 September, which makes it easier and quicker for vets to report suspect cases and clinical signs directly to APHA. This will allow private vets to diagnose bluetongue after examining affected animals, with cases formally confirmed by APHA at a premises level.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of the capacity of laboratories in processing bluetongue tests in a timely manner during periods of increased transmission; what the current average turnaround time is for such testing, and...

Defra is working with APHA and The Pirbright Institute to reduce delays in testing and reporting. Testing is being undertaken by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) at Weybridge alongside the National Reference Laboratory at The Pirbright Institute.
A new online reporting form was launched on Friday 11 September, which makes it easier and quicker for vets to report suspect cases and clinical signs directly to APHA. This will allow private vets to diagnose bluetongue after examining affected animals, with cases formally confirmed by APHA at a premises level. Where a vet cannot rule out suspicion of another notifiable disease, including foot and mouth, the usual reporting and laboratory testing arrangements will continue. This will support prioritising laboratory capacity for tests such as movement testing and surveillance in emerging areas in GB. Defra will monitor the impacts of these changes on turnaround time and capacity.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) self-testing was launched in a gradual roll out nationally through the NHS Cervical Screening Programme from 25 August 2026. Individuals aged 30 to 65 years old who have been identified nationally as falling behind in their screening will be specifically invited by the programme to order an HPV self-test kit.
Currently, approximately 71% of people in Walsall eligible for cervical screening are up to date with their screening. People from the Walsall area who have been identified nationally to receive self-testing invitations will be starting to receive them now, as part of the gradual roll out.
NHS England is working with relevant partners to support awareness and understanding among those invited to take part in the programme. In addition, a community engagement project will be undertaken by the NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board, which may act as a basis for similar initiatives in other parts of the country.

Miscarriage can have a devastating impact on women and their families, and we are determined that they receive the support they need.
My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, is chairing the Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce to develop a national action plan that will reform maternity and neonatal services to deliver lasting change for women, families, and their babies.
The taskforce will consider all aspects of those current services, including miscarriage care. Within this, we will carefully assess the findings from the Tommy’s Graded Model of Miscarriage Care pilot study as committed to in the Renewed Women’s Health Strategy.
