Details
The National Cancer Plan sets out how we will improve cancer care so that 3 out of 4 people diagnosed with cancer survive for 5 years or more by 2035.
The plan has been shaped by an extensive call for evidence exercise, held from 4 February to 29 April 2025. The more than 11,000 responses received have played an essential role in developing the plan.
