Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to publish the National Cancer Advisory Group’s annual progress report on the Cancer Strategy.
The National Cancer Advisory Group prepared a progress statement in autumn 2018 which was shared with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and Chief Executives of the arm’s length bodies, as recommended by the Independent Cancer Taskforce.
The NHS Long Term Plan, published in January 2019, built on the Independent Cancer Taskforce’s strategy and the extensive transformation work already underway around the country. NHS England will publish a report on progress in the cancer programme to date, alongside further detail on the implementation of the cancer objectives in the NHS Long Term Plan in spring 2019.
