No formal assessment has been made. However, we have committed to invest more than £8 billion from 2022/23 to 2024/25 to recover elective services, including those for blood cancer patients. The National Health Service is establishing non-specific symptom pathways to bring together equipment and expertise to streamline diagnostic services for cancer, including for symptoms which may indicate potential blood cancer.
