The National Cancer Plan explains how we will make cancer care better. Our goal is that 3 out of 4 people who get cancer will still be alive 5 years later. We want to reach this goal by 2035.
We asked people to share their ideas and experiences to help us write the plan. From 4 February to 29 April 2025, more than 11,000 people shared their views. Their views helped us to make this plan.
