Improving the quality of our cancer services is a priority in the National Priorities Guidance for 2000/01 to 2002/3. This Circular announces consultation on a manual of national standards and performance indicators to provide the framework for assessment of the quality of cancer care with an additional £3 million funding being made available to support regional and local action on cancer. The Circular also publishes information on four further strands of work which will support the NHS at all levels to make the best use of resources and facilities to improve cancer services.
