Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to support people living with cancer after 2020.
We are in year three of the five year strategy and we are on track to deliver it by 2020. We have made rapid progress in a number of key and high-impact areas, as set out in our last progress report, published in October 2017 at the following link:
NHS England publishes yearly progress reports on implementation progress. The next progress report is due to be published in autumn 2018.
The Government and NHS England remain committed to supporting people living with and beyond cancer. Decisions on a new strategy following implementation of the current Cancer Strategy for England by 2020 will be made in due course.
