There was no specific assessment of the needs of people with lymphoma as part of the "Our Health, Our Care, Our Say" White Paper. The White Paper's broad focus meant it did not deal with specific illnesses, but focussed instead on principles that would improve care for all patients such as greater integration between health and social care, more treatment in the community and better preventative and early intervention services.
