Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when his Department’s Task and Finish Working Group on brain tumours plans to publish its report.

The Task and Finish Working Group on brain tumour’s latest estimate is that their work will be complete before the end of January 2018. The Working Group is undertaking a challenging task in this difficult area. Inputs are being sought from many stakeholders in order to produce a useful and impactful report. Some of these stakeholders are very busy clinicians, and need to be given sufficient time to formulate their inputs – we are committed to involving them.
