What steps is the Cabinet Secretary taking to ensure that the national standards for teenagers and young adults with cancer are reviewed?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care | Answered on 21/11/2024
The maintenance of the Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Standards is a matter for the NHS Executive’s Strategic Clinical Network for Cancer. There is no plan to review the standards at the current time as the network is liaising with the NHS Joint Commissioning Committee to determine the future commissioning arrangements for these services.
