Speaking about the launch of the Cancer Strategy Neil said,
“We warmly welcome this launch. Over the last number of years, we have worked with children, young people and families impacted by cancer, ensuring they have had a meaningful opportunity to input into the cancer strategy. This lived experience has helped to shape how cancer will be diagnosed, treated, prevented and supported in the future.
Working alongside charity and healthcare colleagues, the Department of Health, and the Public Health Agency this co-production process has brought us to this point.
We would like to thank everyone who has participated in this this process, helping to develop a collective vision that will transform outcomes for people impacted by cancer. Now comes the next step, implementation and investment to make this happen.”
