The NHS Long Term Plan was launched in January 2019 by the National Health Service, and thanks to the Government\u2019s investment of £33.9 billion in cash terms by 2023-24, will transform patient care and make sure every penny of taxpayers\u2019 money is spent wisely.<\/p>

The future of budgets outside of the NHS England resource settlement will be confirmed later this year at the Spending Review.<\/p>

Cancer is a priority for this Government and impetus has been given to ensuring that more patients are seen and treated for cancer. The drive to improve survival rates through earlier diagnosis, therefore, has meant that demand and activity have been rising for a number of years. This has resulted in more people being referred and diagnosed than ever before.<\/p>

Improving diagnosis and ensuring better outcomes for patients diagnosed with cancer is a priority for Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), and County Durham is consistently better in terms of coverage than the national average for all three cancer screening programmes. The CCG is working collaboratively with colleagues from public health, primary care and secondary care on a strategic piece of work, with a view that a multi-disciplinary approach is necessary in order to address inequalities in cancer.<\/p>

<\/p>

The CCG has developed the Action Plan \u2018County Durham Reducing Health Inequalities in Cancer Action Plan for 2018-19\u2019.<\/p>
