Children and Young People Cancer Taskforce
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress the Children and Young People's Cancer Taskforce has made.
Answered by Andrew Gwynne
The Department will be relaunching the Children and Young People’s Cancer Taskforce in the coming weeks. Dame Caroline Dinenage and Professor Darren Hargrave have been appointed as its co-chairs, alongside Dr Sharna Shanmugavadivel as vice-chair.
The taskforce will examine clinical and non-clinical ways to improve outcomes and patient experience for children and young people with cancer. This will feed into the Department’s wider work on the national cancer plan.
