Our Response to the NHS Long Term Plan

In January 2019, the NHS published its Long Term Plan – a ten year forward-plan detailing its strategy across the healthcare system, including cancer services and survival.

Greater Manchester Cancer has considered the plan in full and in turn produced a detailed response for its cancer targets and recommendations. Our Long Term Plan response is able to view and download below.

Taking Charge 2017 - 2021

In 2015, the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership published its 5 year plan Taking Charge, which included a plan on tackling cancer in the region.

The plan was developed through consultation and engagement with the whole Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership, including people affected by cancer. The plan was also ratified at the Strategic Partnership Board.
