  • Progress made in reducing the inequalities gap in cancer incidence and mortality rates;
  • The effectiveness of cancer screening services and the level of take-up across the population of Wales, particularly the harder to reach groups;
  • Whether patients across Wales can access the care required (for example, access to diagnostic testing or out-of-hours care) in an appropriate setting and in a timely manner;
  • The level of collaborative working across sectors, especially between the NHS and third sector, to ensure patients receive effective person-centred care from multi-disciplinary teams.
