Question
What plan does the Cabinet Secretary have for reviewing the national standards for teenagers and young adults with cancer?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
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.
