The policy applies to non-wholemeal flour, reflecting the flour-type already subject to fortification.","details":"The UK Government is mandating fortification of non-wholemeal wheat flour with folic acid with the primary objective to increase folic acid intake among women of childbearing age, thereby improving blood folate levels and reducing the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) during pregnancy. The policy is projected to prevent around 200 NTD-affected pregnancies annually—approximately 20 per cent of UK cases. The population-level policy will have the wider benefit of increasing the intake of folic acid and improving folate status across the whole population. Folate, including folic acid, plays an important role in forming healthy red blood cells and maintaining brain health.\n\nPrevious efforts through public health campaigns to promote supplementation, as well as voluntary fortification by manufacturers, have had limited success. Despite longstanding UK public health advice recommending a daily supplement of 400 micrograms of folic acid before conception and during early pregnancy, uptake remains suboptimal, particularly among younger women and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Since almost half of pregnancies in the UK are unplanned, many women may not take supplements during the critical early weeks of gestation.\n\nThe policy has been carefully designed to be proportionate, targeting non-wholemeal wheat flour because it is widely consumed across the population and is the most effective vehicle for delivering the intended public health benefits. This approach is consistent with long-standing UK fortification requirements for wheat flour, including the mandatory addition of calcium, iron, niacin and thiamine, which also apply to non-wholemeal wheat flour produced to organic standards. Not fortifying wider than the type of flour that is presently fortified, means that individuals can avoid fortified flour if they choose to or need to. This includes wholemeal flour, gluten-free products and other flour types such as soya or spelt flour.\n\nTo ensure people can easily identify products that are suitable for them, added vitamins and minerals, including folic acid, must be labelled in the product’s ingredients list. This must also be declared when fortified flour is used as an ingredient.\n\nThe decision to fortify non-wholemeal wheat flour with folic acid has a long history and has been considered both by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN), which advises the four UK governments on nutrition-related matters, and its predecessor, the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food and Nutrition Policy. Folic acid fortification was recommended by the SACN in 2006, after an extensive review of the evidence on folate and health, which is available at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sacn-folate-and-disease-prevention-report. Since then, there have been several further evidence reviews and modelling work (for example: https://www.foodstandards.gov.scot/science-and-evidence/stochastic-modelling-to-estimate-the-potential-impact-of-fortification-of-flour-with-folic-acid-in-the-uk) to establish the level of folic acid to be added to flour, as well as to address concerns about potential adverse effects.\n\nThe policy has been subject to public consultations, including the 2019 Department of Health and Social Care and devolved governments consultation (available at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/adding-folic-acid-to-flour/outcome/proposal-to-add-folic-acid-to-flour-consultation-response) on the proposal to fortify flour with folic acid (including a question on the effect on small businesses), and the 2022 Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra)-led consultation on the Bread and Flour Regulations. These consultations allowed members of the public, industry and health professionals to provide feedback and were a key part of policy development. Feedback to the Defra consultation highlighted consumer choice as a key concern. Limiting mandatory fortification to non-wholemeal wheat flour helps preserve choice by maintaining the availability of unfortified wholemeal and non-wheat flours. In addition, the policy does not apply to flour produced by small mills (definition based on their limited production capacity).\n\nThe NHS provides guidance for individuals who may need to avoid folic acid, for example, due to specific medical conditions or interactions with medication. People in this situation are advised to seek advice from a healthcare professional. Foods in the UK have been voluntarily fortified with folic acid for many years, including products such as breakfast cereals and spreads, without evidence of adverse health effects.\n\nThe UK Government and devolved governments are exploring how we will evaluate the impact of the policy.\n\nDepartment of Health & Social Care","created_at":"2026-06-29T12:21:00.287Z","updated_at":"2026-06-29T12:21:52.418Z"},"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DHSC","name":"Department of Health and Social Care","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health-and-social-care"}],"topics":[]}},{"type":"petition","id":765360,"links":{"self":"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/765360.json"},"attributes":{"action":"Mandate standardised cancer training for all GPs in England","background":"We ask the Government to mandate cancer training for all GPs in England, requiring all GPs to complete mandatory, standardised training on cancer red-flag symptoms, with formal assessment, regular revalidation, NHS England regulation, and GMC linkage to improve early diagnosis.","additional_details":"Early cancer diagnosis saves lives, yet delays in primary care remain.

Our National Cancer Plan and Jess’s Rule support this. Standards and training for GPs are led by regulatory and professional bodies.","details":"Alongside the relevant bodies which set the standards and training curricula that doctors must follow, the Government is taking action to improve early diagnosis through the National Cancer Plan for England and the introduction of Jess’s Rule. While the requests of the petitioners sit outside the direct remit of Government, we are committed to improving the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of people with cancer of all ages.\n\nThe National Cancer Plan for England, published earlier this year, sets out a comprehensive ten-year strategy to transform cancer outcomes across the country. It focuses on earlier diagnosis, faster treatment, better survival rates, and reducing inequalities in cancer care, with a firmly patient-centred approach.\n\nThe Government’s central ambition is that by 2035, three in four people diagnosed with cancer will be cancer-free or living well five years after diagnosis – up from roughly 60 per cent today. Achieving this would save hundreds of thousands of lives and make England a world leader in cancer survival. Improving outcomes in primary care will play a key role in this.\n\nThrough initiatives in the National Cancer Plan, primary care teams will be equipped to spot signs that could indicate cancer. The Plan commits to continued support for the Gateway C digital training platform. A new generation of digital support tools will help flag concerning symptoms or test results in general practice. In addition, from 2026 we will pilot an incentive encouraging the use of electronic safety netting to increase the number of people who complete checks for bowel cancer.\n\nIn September 2025, we introduced Jess’s Rule in memory of Jess Brady, who passed away due to cancer in December 2020.\n\nJess’s Rule (three strikes and we rethink) encourages GP teams to re-evaluate why the patient’s condition remains unresolved and/or consider why their symptoms are escalating. It promotes consistency of care but also prompts GP teams to consult with one another to jointly reconsider any red flags that have been missed that could point to another diagnosis, and to challenge any assumptions that may have been made based on a patient’s age or demographic.\n\nAs a part of the implementation of Jess’s Rule, the Royal College of General Practitioners, along with the Jessica Brady CEDAR Trust, developed a learning module to support earlier cancer diagnosis in young adults. The Jessica Brady CEDAR Trust have also produced a training video on Jess’s Rule to support the delivery and implementation of the rule.\n\nThe General Medical Council (GMC) is the regulator of all medical doctors, physician assistants (PAs) and physician assistants in anaesthesia (PAAs) (still legally known as anaesthesia associates and physician associates) practising in the UK. It sets and enforces the standards all doctors, PAs and PAAs must adhere to. The GMC is independent of Government, directly accountable to Parliament, and is responsible for operational matters concerning the discharge of its statutory duties.\n\nFrom the academic year 2024-25, the GMC introduced the Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA), which creates a framework for testing the core knowledge, skills, and behaviours of doctors who want to practise in the UK. An updated MLA comes into force for medical students from September 2026. The GMC does not deliver, design, or commission education and training. Each medical college sets its own undergraduate curriculum.\n\nThe training curriculum for postgraduate trainee GPs is set by the Royal College of General Practitioners, and has to meet the standards set by the General Medical Council. The RCGP provides a number of resources on cancer prevention, diagnosis, and care for GPs, relevant for the primary care setting.\n\nAll UK-registered doctors are expected to meet the professional standards set out in the GMC’s Good Medical Practice. In 2012, the GMC introduced revalidation which supports doctors in regularly reflecting on how they can develop or improve their practice, giving patients confidence doctors are up to date with their practice and promoting improved quality of care by driving improvements in clinical governance.\n\nQualified GPs are subject to these revalidation requirements overseen by the GMC with the process led by the RCGP; continuous professional development is a cornerstone of demonstrating suitability to continue to practice safely. For GPs, the RCGP advises that learning stretches across the GP curriculum over the five-year cycle, informed by a wide variety of sources and kept up to date as part of normal professional practice.\n\nGPs are responsible for ensuring their own clinical knowledge remains up to date and for identifying learning needs as part of their continuing professional development. This activity should include taking account of new research and developments in guidance, such as that produced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, to ensure that they can continue to provide high quality care to all patients.\n\nDepartment of Health and Social Care","created_at":"2026-06-09T09:24:41.262Z","updated_at":"2026-06-09T09:27:52.575Z"},"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DHSC","name":"Department of Health and Social Care","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health-and-social-care"}],"topics":[]}},{"type":"petition","id":763294,"links":{"self":"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/763294.json"},"attributes":{"action":"Ensure people whose parent had breast cancer under 45 can access genetic testing","background":"Update NHS genetic testing eligibility so that people whose parent was diagnosed with breast cancer before age 45 can access inherited cancer gene testing if the affected parent is deceased or unavailable for testing.","additional_details":"My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at 42 and died at 51.

The NHS GLHs deliver testing as directed by the National Genomic Test Directory, which includes tests for over 7,000 rare diseases and over 200 cancer clinical indications. More information is available at the following link: https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/national-genomic-test-directories. The Test Directory sets out the eligibility criteria for patients to access testing as well as the genomic targets to be tested and the method that should be used. Testing is available for all eligible patients across the whole of England.\n\nTo keep pace with scientific and technological advances, while delivering value for money for the NHS, a robust and evidence-based process and policy is in place to ensure that genomic testing continues to be available for all patients for whom it would be of clinical benefit.\n\nThe Government is unable to comment on individual cases, as decisions will be made by an individual’s clinical team, and can only provide general guidance based on the eligibility criteria for genomic testing as outlined in the National Genomic Test Directory. In the case of an unaffected individual, the criteria for testing under clinical indication R208 (inherited breast cancer and ovarian cancer) is:\n\nLiving unaffected individual with:\na.  First degree relative affected by breast or serous ovarian cancer, AND\nb.  Combined pathology-adjusted Manchester score ≥20 or BOADICEA/CanRisk score of ≥20% for affected relative or BOADICEA/CanRisk score of ≥10% for unaffected relative AND\nc.  No living affected individual is available for genetic testing, AND\nd.  No deceased affected individual with tumour material is available for testing.\n\nTherefore, individuals who meet the eligibility criteria based on their family history should not be denied testing if the affected relative is deceased or unavailable for testing. The risk of inherited cancer needs to be assessed and calculated, and individuals should discuss with a healthcare professional whether genomic testing is appropriate for them. The healthcare professional will then decide whether to refer the individual either directly or via an NHS clinical genomics service or other relevant clinical speciality for genomic testing following clinical review of their and their family’s medical history if known, and the relevant genomic testing eligibility criteria.\n\nAs outlined in the 10 Year Health Plan for England, the Government agrees that genomic testing delivered via the NHS Genomic Medicine Service should be expanded for inherited causes of major diseases to allow earlier detection and intervention, including in cancer (e.g. BRCA1/2 genes). This will be achieved by expanding the existing NHS Genomics Medicine Service to create a new genomics population health service, accessible to all by the end of the decade.\n\nDepartment of Health and Social Care","created_at":"2026-08-17T14:17:18.623Z","updated_at":"2026-08-18T15:09:55.757Z"},"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DHSC","name":"Department of Health and Social Care","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health-and-social-care"}],"topics":[]}},{"type":"petition","id":762232,"links":{"self":"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/762232.json"},"attributes":{"action":"Statutory paid leave for parents whose child is undergoing cancer treatment","background":"I’d like the Government to provide statutory paid leave, in the same way as maternity and paternity leave, for parents whose child is diagnosed with cancer and need to assist them with their care.","additional_details":"A diagnosis of childhood cancer is extremely distressing and can turn a parent’s life upside down and redefine structure to daily life.
