Cancer: Drugs
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to introduce a national cancer medicines advisory group for England.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The National Cancer Plan will have patients at its heart and will cover the entirety of the cancer pathway, from referral and diagnosis to treatment and ongoing care, as well as prevention, and research and innovation. It will seek to improve every aspect of cancer care to better the experience and outcomes for people with cancer. We are considering what governance mechanisms will be appropriate to deliver the ambitions of the National Cancer Plan, including how we could improve treatment.
