Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to use submissions to the 10 year cancer plan call for evidence to inform the Major Conditions Strategy.

The Government announced on 24 January that it will publish a Major Conditions Strategy. Cancer will be a significant element of the new Strategy and we will ensure that all the learning from the over 5,000 submissions to the call for evidence will be considered. This will replace the suggested 10-year cancer plan.
