Answer
NHS England is currently reviewing the national peer review programme for cancer with a view to considering how its success might be extended into other new areas of specialised commissioning. The Chief Executive of NHS England has confirmed that the programme will continue, playing a critical part of any broader peer review programme NHS England may look to introduce. NHS England is in the process of allocating funding for all of its programme funded activity, and as part of this the national peer review programme for cancer will be funded to enable it to continue.
