Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish a 10-year funded plan to tackle the NHS cancer backlog.

The next Spending Review will set out the Government’s spending plans for health and social care for future years. NHS England’s Cancer Recovery Plan set out the aims and actions needed to recover from the impact of COVID-19, while the NHS Long Term Plan remains the detailed strategy for cancer services and will continue to apply after the pandemic.
