Ovarian Cancer

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the timetable is for a decision on the next round of cancer audits; and whether ovarian cancer will be included within those audits.

Answer

NHS England, the Welsh Government and the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership are currently recommissioning the cancer audits that sit within the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme portfolio and have been charged with achieving greater alignment to produce a more sustainable delivery model. Discussions will take place over the next year on potential new topics, such as ovarian cancer and any new audits will draw on data that is already available and routinely collected, wherever possible.
