Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish all the Cancer Alliance delivery plans centrally.
Cancer Alliances locally own their delivery plans, and it is the responsibility of each Alliance to publish these plans. NHS England encourages all Alliances to publish their plans, and where Alliances’ plans are already readily available, NHS England will signpost to these on its website.
The level of transformation funding received by each Cancer Alliance in 2018/19 is linked to their performance against the 62-day cancer waiting times standard as this is an important measure of a system’s readiness to implement significant transformation at pace and scale.
Where an Alliance is meeting the standard, they will receive 100% of their transformation funding allocation. For Alliances who are not meeting the standard, they will receive a proportion of their transformation funding, dependent on their level of performance. This is as follows:
- For an Alliance with a 62-day performance between 83% - 84.9%, they will receive 85% of their transformation funding allocation;
- For an Alliance with a 62-day performance between 80% - 82.9%, they will receive 75% of their transformation funding allocation; and
- For an Alliance with a 62-day performance of less than 80%, they will receive 50% of their transformation funding allocation.
