In 2015, an independent cancer taskforce strategy set out an ambitious vision for improving services, care and outcomes for everyone with cancer.
Fewer people getting cancer, more people surviving cancer, more people having a good experience of their treatment and care, whoever they are and wherever they live, and more people being supported.
The NHS Long Term Plan, published in January 2019, also made a huge commitment to improving cancer care, diagnosis and survival rates by 2028.
Cancer alliances were set up across England to drive the change needed to achieve these aims.
