Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of public funding for and investment in cancer research on cancer treatment outcomes and survival rates.

Government funding plays a crucial role in supporting cancer research and clinical trials and is at the heart of our National Cancer Plan to improve diagnosis, treatment, and care for cancer patients. We work in partnership with charities, foundations, and other key stakeholders to support research and innovation.
