Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to improve reporting of blood cancer data to levels equal to that of solid tumours.

The National Disease Registration Service collects, analyses, publishes and shares data on cancer, rare diseases and congenital anomalies. Incidence, survival and prevalence rates and routes to diagnosis include data on haematological cancers. We are working with clinicians and charities to increase the level of detail in this data, to record all registered haematological cancers into a format where statistics can be produced.
