To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to recommendation 65 of the document, Achieving World-Class Cancer Outcomes: A Strategy for Cancer 2015-2020, what progress his Department has made on providing information on potential markers of recurrence and metastatic breast cancer.

The NHS Long Term Plan, which was published in January 2019 and followed on from the Cancer Taskforce Strategy, sets a clear ambition that where appropriate every person diagnosed with cancer should have access to personalised care by 2021. The key signs and symptoms of cancer recurrence are included in an end of treatment summary.
