Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of commissioning a clinical audit of changes in rates of liver cancer.

The Government has no current plans to commission a clinical audit of changes in rates of liver cancer. NHS England is implementing wider Long Term Plan actions for both liver cancer and liver disease detection and management including monitoring outcomes for liver cancer in England through published sources including cancer incidence, mortality and survival data which is collected through our disease registration service.
