Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to develop a best practice pathway for (a) leukaemia and (b) other blood cancers.

NHS England has implemented non-symptom specific pathways for patients who present with symptoms that can indicate several different cancers, including leukaemia. An NHS England national evaluation showed blood cancers are one of the most common cancer types diagnosed through these pathways.
