Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to involve cancer charities in the delivery and governance of the forthcoming National Cancer Plan.

The National Cancer Plan will build on the shift from hospital to community set out by the 10-Year Health Plan and will seek to foster improved collaboration with the voluntary and community sector to deliver this.

Governance mechanisms for monitoring implementation and ensuring accountability for delivery will be established as part of the development of the National Cancer Plan, which will be published in the new year.
