Leukaemia

Thank you for contacting me about support for people living with leukaemia/lymphoma.

The Government recognises that tackling major conditions that cause ill-health - including blood cancers - provides an opportunity to improve the lives of millions of people.  That is why a Major Conditions Strategy will be developed and published over the next year to outline how outcomes in six major condition areas will be improved, including all cancers. I encourage you to contribute to the call for evidence by completing this survey on priorities for cancer care: https://consultations.dhsc.gov.uk/645cb4b614fbee6d990990c9

This will build on the commitment in the NHS Long Term Plan to reach the goal of 75 per cent of people being diagnosed with cancer at an early stage by 2028.  In the meantime, the Government has allocated £2.3 billion to increase the volume of diagnostic activity and the number of community diagnostic centres to increase capacity for clinical tests, including phlebotomy for the diagnosis of suspected blood cancers.

Thank you for contacting me about this campaign.
