Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of the Government's focus on responding to the covid-19 outbreak on trends in the number of early cancers being (a) diagnosed and (b) missed since the start of the covid-19 outbreak.
We have not made a specific assessment as the data on rates of diagnoses in this period is not yet available.
