Cancer: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the publication of the National Cancer Plan, if he will present the Plan's annual summary of progress to the House.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
A reformed National Cancer Board, jointly chaired by the Department and an independent representative, will track progress and provide regular updates to ministers.
Across the life of the plan, ministers will publish an annual summary of progress, along with a more in-depth report after three years to assess where the plan may need updating and refreshing.
The annual summary will be available publicly and I will update the House when it is published.
