Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of a national audit of liver cancer services to address regional variations in care.
This question was answered on 26th January 2023
In 2021, the NHS England Cancer Programme undertook a strategic review of the cancer clinical audit portfolio, to ensure those cancers that would benefit the most from a clinical audit were prioritised. Liver cancer was taken into consideration during the selection process but was not proposed for an audit.
