Cancer: Children and Young People
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin) Tuesday 3rd March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he had with the Welsh Government on the cross-border specialist healthcare network for children and young people with cancer and inequalities in access across the UK prior to the announcement of the travel fund for children and young people with cancer in the National Cancer Plan. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department knows that the cost of travel is an important issue for many young cancer patients and their families across the United Kingdom. Through the National Cancer Plan, the Government is committing up to £10 million a year to a new fund open to all children and young people in England with cancer and their families regardless of income, to support them with the cost of travelling to and from treatment. This commitment sits alongside wider action to transform cancer care for children and young people. Health is predominately devolved. However, the Department does work closely with our counterparts in the devolved administrations, including the Welsh Government, to share expertise and identify new opportunities to improve health and social care delivery across the UK. |

Cancer: Children and Young People
Asked by: Ann Davies (Plaid Cymru - Caerfyrddin) Tuesday 3rd March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether travel fund for children and young people included in the National Cancer Plan for England will be available to any young cancer patients in Wales, in particular those who receive their cancer treatment in hospitals in England; and whether any Barnett formula consequentials will result from that funding. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Department knows that the cost of travel is an important issue for many young cancer patients and their families across the United Kingdom.
Through the National Cancer Plan, the Government is committing up to £10 million a year to a new fund open to all children and young people in England with cancer and their families regardless of income, to support them with the cost of travelling to and from principal treatment centres. This commitment sits alongside wider action to transform cancer care for children and young people.
The Department is currently working with its partners in the health system to develop the scope and remit of the fund. Further details will be set out in due course.
Health is predominately devolved. Devolved administrations receive funding through the Barnett Formula, and it is ultimately for them to allocate, prioritise, and manage their budgets. However, the Department does work closely with our counterparts in the devolved administrations to share expertise and identify new opportunities to improve health and social care delivery across the United Kingdom. |

16 Mar 2026
Working towards ending child poverty in Wales Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 4 May 2026) The rate of child poverty in Wales has changed very little over the past two decades, with around a third of Welsh children living in poverty during that time. Currently, 31% of children in Wales live in relative income poverty after housing costs. However, that figure also varies significantly depending on a family's circumstances, with larger families, lone parent families and families with at least one disabled adult or child experiencing higher rates of child poverty. Relative low income (after housing costs) is a widely used measure of child poverty, and is based on how much income each household has after deducting taxes paid and their housing costs. It is adjusted for the number and ages of people in the household to account for different levels of need across households. This inquiry seeks to understand how the UK and Welsh governments work together towards ending child poverty, and examine what barriers might prevent Wales from realising the ambitions set out in the UK Government's child poverty strategy. Read the call for evidence for more details about the inquiry. |
