Cancer in the long term plan for the NHS: Call for evidence

We want to hear from you about your experiences and priorities for cancer care in England, including evidence of what has worked in your area.

Cancer survival rates are higher than ever, and fewer people are dying from their cancer. This is testament to the dedication of NHS staff across the country, the work of patient groups, charities and many others across health and care, and to great advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment. But we know that there is more to do so that every patient has the best chance of survival and receives the very best treatment and care.

With a new five year funding settlement, the NHS is now developing a long term plan. This means we can do more than stand still, and that we can make sensible phased improvements to deliver a sustainable NHS for the future. This is an opportunity to build on the foundations set by the Five Year Forward View and the report of the independent Cancer Taskforce (2015), which provided a blueprint for improving cancer outcomes and services.
