The overall aims of the cancer recovery phase are to:
- Restore urgent cancer referrals at least to pre-pandemic levels
- Reduce the backlog at least to pre-pandemic levels (on both 62 and 31 day pathways)
- Ensure sufficient capacity to manage increased demand moving forwards
We will support these aims by:
- Supporting a system-first model for recovery through Cancer Alliances
- Tackling inequalities, including where they may have been further impacted by COVID-19 pandemic
- Ensuring that patients and staff have confidence that services are COVID-protected
- Locking in innovations prompted by the pandemic or which support recovery
- Ensuring we have the right workforce in place
- Re-starting LTP activity which supports recovery
- Ensuring effective communications across the wider cancer community
