Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions (a) Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships and (b) Integrated Care Systems have had with Cancer Alliances to refine planning and prioritisation for the delivery of the cancer commitments within the NHS Long-Term Plan.

As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan Implementation Framework, local systems, including sustainability and transformation partnerships and integrated care systems, should engage with their Cancer Alliances to set out practically how they will deliver the Long Term Plan commitments for cancer over the next five years including on early diagnosis and survival, while improving operational performance.
