To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 29 January 2015 to Question 222049, whether his Department has funded any campaigns specifically to raise awareness of cancer amongst children since May 2010.

Although the Department has not funded any campaigns to specifically raise awareness of cancer amongst children since May 2010, A Strategy for Cancer, published on 12 January 2011, committed over £450 million to achieve earlier diagnosis of cancer, including awareness campaigns. However, it is not possible to break this spending down to individual age groups.

The Department continues to work with Public Health England, NHS England, relevant experts and other stakeholders, to keep the Be Clear on Cancer campaigns under review and to see what might be done to tackle awareness of the symptoms of other cancers, such as cancers amongst children.
