I do not have that data to hand, but I will make sure that it is provided to the shadow Minister afterwards. While there is sometimes the need for temporary restrictions or modifications to minimise significant risks, the Government hope that such instances are a rarity.

I do not currently have the detail on that, but I will write to the right hon. Gentleman following this debate. I can confirm that he knows as much as I do about what might be in the spending review, because those decisions have yet to be made, but more information will be made available as soon as possible.

14 May 2025 World Asthma Day

Yes, I will come to many of those issues. As I was saying, NHS England is piloting a digital annual asthma check, which, if successful, will mean that fewer people miss that valuable check and will keep the monitoring of their asthma up to date.

7 May 2025 Brain Tumours: Research and Treatment

NHS England has found that creating that environment does not necessarily provide new and better ways of repurposing drugs, and that can be done far more efficiently and far less bureaucratically by using local off-label prescribing. We are looking at how we can incentivise researchers and clinical trials to explore re
