Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will publish separate, individual-level performance data for (1) brain, (2) liver, (3) lung, (4) stomach, (5) pancreatic, and (6) oesophageal, cancers under the Get Data Out programme.

Improving outcomes for rare cancer patients is a priority for the National Cancer Plan. The National Disease Registration Service (NDRS) in NHS England, as the national cancer registry, collects diagnosis, treatment, and outcome data on cancer patients in England. All these cancer sites, such as brain, liver, lung, stomach, pancreatic, and oesophageal, are already included in NDRS’ Get Data Out (GDO) programme. Performance data is not included in GDO but incidence, treatment, survival, and routes to diagnosis statistics are available for the clinically meaningful groups of cancers included.
