Detail of outcome
This call for evidence was originally intended to inform a
stand-alone 10-year Cancer Plan for England.
The decision has since been taken to incorporate this into a
major
conditions strategy.
The strategy will cover the 6 major groups of conditions that
most affect the population in England, namely:
- cancers
- cardiovascular disease
- chronic respiratory diseases
- dementia
- mental ill health
- musculoskeletal conditions
A call for evidence to
inform the major conditions strategy was published on 17 May
2023.
Thank you to all who responded to the cancer call for evidence.
All responses are being considered to inform the development of
the major conditions strategy.

Original consultation Summary

Consultation description
One in every 2 people in this country will be told they have
cancer at some point in their lives. The NHS Long Term Plan,
published in 2019, set an ambition to save thousands more lives
each year by dramatically improving how we diagnose and treat
cancer.
The Department of Health and Social Care is seeking the views of
individuals, professionals and organisations to understand
whether and how we can do more to make progress against this
ambition, and to build on lessons learned from the COVID-19
pandemic.
The call for evidence will run for a period of 8 weeks and is
open to everyone aged 16 and over. You can respond as an
individual, or on behalf of an organisation.
The easiest way to participate in the call for evidence is by
completing the online survey.
