We are keen to work with the hon. Member, Cancer Research UK and the charities representing some of the other cancers not currently included in the PHOF metric on how we best measure progress towards the ambition moving forwards. To that end NHS England is hosting a session on Monday 25 February to discuss progress towards the new early diagnosis ambition.<\/p>"}
