In 2015, the Independent Cancer Taskforce published its report, Achieving World-Class Cancer Outcomes: A Strategy for England 2015-2020 which set out a vision for the care cancer patients should receive from the NHS.
In 2017, the APPGC launched an inquiry into the implementation of the England Cancer Strategy as it neared the half way stage.
As new Cancer Alliances have been formed, the APPGC sought to understand how the Strategy has been implemented at a local level and whether we remained on course to deliver commitments and improve outcomes by 2020. The report was launched at Britain Against Cancer 2017.
