The National Health Service is grateful for Macmillan Cancer Support’s help to support and reassure patients during this unprecedented time and we continue to work closely with the charity at a national level.
Macmillan Cancer Support has representation on the new Cancer Recovery Taskforce along with the National Cancer Board, and the Chief Executive of Macmillan chairs the NHS England and NHS Improvement Cancer Charity Forum. The new Cancer Recovery Taskforce brings together members of the cancer community to coordinate and share expertise and ultimately enable progress towards the successful recovery of cancer services during 2020/21.

The right hon. Lady is absolutely right: we should of course have a cup of coffee tomorrow to help Macmillan, which I know is trying to raise a larger amount of money than it raised last year. My coffee of choice is Alta Rica, which I strongly recommend to anybody...

The Department and its Ministers work in partnership with a variety of stakeholders, including local authorities, charities and employer groups, and listens directly to their feedback about Universal Credit. At its core, Universal Credit is about ensuring we deliver a service which is tailored to individual claimant circumstances and abilities. Following the outbreak of COVID-19, we adapted many of our services to be delivered remotely, and we will consider if changes can be retained longer term. But, many claimants benefit from having face to face contact with Work Coaches to overcome barriers and we will ensure this method of contact continues to be used where appropriate.
Measures, such as identity verification, are key components of the Universal Credit claim process to confirm the accuracy of information supplied, allowing us to make timely and accurate decisions. In addition to our usual online verification, since early June we have been trialling the online identity service, Confirm Your Identity. This has enabled a higher number of claimants to verify their identity online, and we are continually monitoring and testing the impact this has on a claimant’s ability to verify remotely.

Following the Government announcement of a new financial settlement for the National Health Service, NHS England is consulting cancer stakeholders on their experiences and priorities for cancer care in England, including evidence of what has worked. This will feed into the wider NHS ten-year plan to improve services and care, build on the progress already made in implementing the recommendations of the independent Cancer Taskforce’s 2015 report (Achieving World-Class Cancer Outcomes: A strategy for England 2015-2020) and address the five points in Macmillan Cancer Support’s vision for the future of the NHS.

I am delighted to congratulate all those who took part and particularly our House, who won. I also pay tribute to the fund-raising effort. I understand that the tug-of-war has been taking place since 1987 and has raised more than £3 million for Macmillan, which is superb.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to ensure improvement in cancer treatment in those areas identified in the Macmillan Cancer Support survey, published in October 2016, as requiring such improvement.

The independent Cancer Taskforce published its report, Achieving World-Class Cancer Outcomes: A strategy for England 2015-2020, in July 2015 and its implementation plan in May 2016 to represent the consensus views of the whole cancer community.
The Government has accepted all 96 recommendations in the strategy, which will address the concerns raised in Macmillan Cancer Support’s survey around funding, prevention, diagnostics, workforce and support after treatment when implemented. Implementation is being led by NHS England’s National Cancer Transformation Board, which will publish its first annual progress report shortly.
In line with the recommendations to improve prevention, the Government has published a national childhood obesity strategy and new low risk drinking guidelines. We have also announced funding of up to £300 million a year by 2020 to increase diagnostic capacity to meet the new target that patients will be given a definitive cancer diagnosis, or the all clear, within 28 days of being referred by a general practitioner.
To meet the workforce challenges of the future, Health Education England (HEE), supported by Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support, has been leading on the independent Cancer Taskforce recommendation that it should develop a vision for the future shape and skills mix of the workforce required to deliver a modern, holistic patient-centred cancer service. HEE has completed an initial cancer workforce baseline review that has been shared and discussed with key stakeholders.
In September 2015, we also announced that by 2020, the 280,000 people diagnosed with cancer every year will benefit from a tailored recovery package. The packages will be individually designed to help each person live well beyond cancer. In April 2016, we published guidance for commissioners on commissioning and implementing the recovery package effectively.
