This document informs the direction of survivorship work in England to 2015 and is intended to support commissioners, providers and others to take the actions necessary to drive improved survivorship outcomes. It sets out what we have learnt about survivorship, including people\u2019s needs, their experience of care, and the impact cancer and treatment has upon their lives. It describes interventions that have been tested, and are already spreading across England to improve survivors\u2019 outcomes.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>Finally, we have enshrined in law the equal importance of mental health, alongside physical health.
