Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the forthcoming Cancer Manuals will address inequalities in care for patients with low-grade glioma.

The Department and NHS England are reviewing the process for developing cancer manuals, including the criteria to use in relation to rare tumour types where survival improvements have been the slowest, as well as accountability mechanisms and consultation processes. We will provide further updates in the usual way in due course.
