Today, Monday 20 June, along with more than 50 cancer charities, we are writing to Sajid Javid, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, setting out our expectations for next month’s 10-Year Cancer Plan.
With #OneCancerVoice, we want ensure the plan meets the essential tests we set out in our submission as being essential to deliver on your ambition of having the best cancer care in Europe.
The plan must include robust, fully costed and funded plans to deliver on its ambitions, and set out how it will address shortages in workforce and equipment – key hurdles that have hindered previous commitments and strategies.
CCLG also submitted a response to the 10 year cancer plan, setting out what we believe should be the priorities for children and young peoples cancer specifically.
