Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 11 December 2020.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to provide additional support to the families of children and young adults with brain tumours.
Clinical support is ongoing linked to individual treatment plans and children will be seen regularly by specialists. This is to check their progress and how well they are recovering from treatment. It is also to check that they don’t have any long-term problems from treatment.
By 2021, where appropriate every person diagnosed with cancer, including children and young adults, will have access to personalised care, including needs assessment, a care plan and health and wellbeing information and support. This will be delivered in line with the National Health Service Comprehensive Model for Personalised Care. This will empower people and their families to manage their care and the impact of their cancer and maximise the potential of digital and community-based support.
