1 May – Health and Social Care Committee launch inquiry into delivering NHS services in England
The inquiry will cover issues such as balancing coronavirus and ‘ordinary’ health and care demand as well as addressing the potential backlog of tests and treatments that have been delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic. The committee held an oral evidence session on 1 May, where cancer care was one of the areas of focus. We’ve submitted our initial response to the inquiry to ensure that cancer services are prioritised.
Nobody knows the full impact yet of COVID-19 on people affected by cancer. But with over 350,000 people hearing the words “you have cancer” annually, it’s clear that continuing cancer diagnosis and treatment must be a government priority. pic.twitter.com/QGdCYExVhQ
