Blood Cancer
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the long-term financial and psychological impact of blood cancer on patients.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
It is a priority for the Government and the National Health Service to support people who are living with cancer, and for those people who have been through cancer treatment.
Through the National Cancer Plan, we will improve experiences and outcomes for people living with and beyond cancer. Every cancer patient will receive a tailored support plan, covering treatment, mental health, and employment support. Every patient will also have a named neighbourhood care lead to coordinate their care and support after treatment. We will support patients to stay in and return to work through Health and Growth Accelerators and a new employer collaborative, in partnership with cancer charities, the NHS, and the Government.
