answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2017 answer text <p>The initial focus of the cancer dashboard was to report on tumours with the highest incidence rates. NHS England intends to explore other tumour types in the dashboard over time. However, it is important to note that it will not be possible to include detailed data on some rarer cancers at clinical commissioning group level due to the low number of cases. It may be possible to include data on these cancers by larger geographical areas, such as Cancer Alliances or Sustainability and Transformation Partnership areas.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 13/12/2017 14:02:10 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
