Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2025

Debate

National Cancer Plan

Contribution

To support that work, we will relaunch the children and young people’s cancer task force, co-chaired by the honourable Member for Gosport, Dame Caroline Dinenage, and Professor Darren Hargrave, with Dr Sharna Shanmugavadivel as vice-chair. I’ve put my teeth in—apologies if I pronounced that wrong. The task force will bring together the country’s top experts to set out plans to improve treatment, detection and research for cancer in children, which will feed into the plan. At every stage, we will ensure that patient voices are heard. I look forward to updating the House on the progress of the plan, the task force and the trial throughout the year.
