PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Ovarian Cancer (2 February 2015)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will meet bodies representing cancer sufferers to discuss the evaluation of the Be Clear on Cancer regional pilot for ovarian cancer.

Asked by:
Stuart Andrew (Conservative)

Answer

For each Be Clear on Cancer campaign there is a comprehensive evaluation process. Data is collected on a number of metrics to reflect the possible campaign impact on key elements of the patient pathway.

The National Cancer Intelligence Network (part of Public Health England) have confirmed that they will publish a full and final evaluation report for the regional ovarian cancer pilot campaign as soon as possible, when analysis of all metrics is complete. However, in advance of a final evaluation report, they aim to publish an interim report containing the cancer awareness levels and the results from the analysis of Cancer Waiting Times data before the end of February 2015, at which time we will arrange a meeting with Public Health England and ovarian cancer charities to discuss these results.
