Service guidance for improving outcomes in children and young people with cancer - first consultation
Cancer service guidance on children and young people with cancer is being developed for use in the NHS in England and Wales. Registered stakeholders for the children and young people with cancer guidance are invited to comment on the provisional guidance recommendations via this website.
Although individuals and organisations not registered as stakeholders are able to comment, we recommend that you contact the registered stakeholder organisation that most closely represents your interests and pass your comments to them. We work closely with stakeholder organisations and take their views very seriously.
