Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the time frame for improving cancer outcomes in the NHS Long Term Plan.
The National Health Service can deliver on the ambitions to improve cancer outcomes within England, set out within the NHS Long Term Plan, by rolling out the interventions set out in the Long Term Plan; reducing variation across the country; ensuring the right workforce is in place and is well supported; and harnessing and quickly adopting research and innovation. Delivery of these actions is underway.
