The forthcoming 10 Year Cancer Plan is currently in development and we are assessing evidence on a range of policy proposals. We are also analysing the responses received to the call for evidence which closed in early April. A meeting with members of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Radiotherapy and representatives of Radiotherapy UK has been scheduled.
