Together Against Cancer – a Delivery Plan for NHS Wales

A consultation exercise is currently underway on the Welsh Government’s draft Cancer Delivery Plan – Together Against Cancer.

The draft Plan sets out the Welsh Government’s vision for tackling cancer and its consequences; ambitions for what NHS services will look like by 2016; the themes for action up to 2016 through local cancer services delivery plans and how success will be measured. The delivery plan is supported by a shorter more ‘public facing’ publication, which sets out what everyone can expect of cancer care in NHS Wales by 2016.

The consultation seeks comments and views from key stakeholders on the content of the draft Cancer Delivery Plan including the shorter public facing publication. The consultation response form and the draft guidance can be found on the Welsh Government’s website via the following link –

Shared Purpose Shared Delivery

The Welsh Government are consulting on new statutory guidance which is intended to integrate local service planning, streamline partnership working, and strengthen the strategic role and accountability of the local service board.

The Guidance is intended to replace existing statutory guidance deriving from a number of pieces of legislation: Community Strategies (Local Government (Wales) Measure 2009), Children and Young People’s Plans (Children Act 2004, Children and Families Measure 2010), and Health Social Care and Well-being Strategies (NHS Wales act 2006).

Community Safety planning is non-devolved (Crime and Disorder Act 1998) so the guidance is advisory only for Community Safety planning in Wales.

Further information is available from the WG website - here.

Michelle Copeman will be co-ordinating a response on behalf of 3rd Sector organisations in Pembrokeshire - if you wish to be included in this response please submit your comments to Michelle by Friday 16th March.

This consultation closes on 31st March 2012.
