NHS England and NHS Improvement is currently revising the Teenager and Young Adults Cancer Services specification, following on from a consultation which ran from 5 June until 4 August 2019. The consultation sought views on proposed changes to teenager and young adult's cancer services. We expect publication of the final documents no later than May 2020.
