<p>The McNeil Review into Public Health England’s (PHE) data collection and data management
functions considered whether, how and when these should be transferred to NHS Digital.
It identified four tranches of data, based on the complexity of the processes involved
in the collection and quality assurance of the data and recommended that cancer registration
be considered within tranche three and only after the earlier tranches had been completed;
this is expected to take at least three years. PHE and NHS Digital are currently scoping
the work programme to implement the review’s recommendations. PHE will continue to
process cancer data in line with current legal gateways and the National Health Service
rules on consent, taking into account any changes that may arise with emerging legislative
and policy frameworks.</p>
