There’s still time to have your say on the proposed future location of specialist cancer services for children.

There are two weeks left to have your say about the future location of very specialist cancer treatment services for children living in Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, Kent, Medway, south London, and most of Surrey.

NHS England (London and South East regions) is urging parents, patients, professionals and the public: "Don’t delay - have your say," ahead of the planned closure of its consultation at midnight on Monday 18 December 2023.

These services are currently provided in partnership between The Royal Marsden in Sutton and St George’s Hospital in Tooting. The consultation will help NHS England decide where they should be in the future.

You can complete the questionnaire online and print it out and post it back by Freepost (no need for a stamp). You can also get in touch by email or phone. To read the proposals and give your views, visit www.transformationpartners.nhs.uk/childrenscancercentre.

Improving the health assessment process for children in care

We spoke to social care staff about the health assessment process of children who are in the care of Lambeth Council. The aim was to identify how the service could be improved and reduce delays in assessments.
This project was carried out in partnership with the London Borough of Lambeth and Children’s Commissioning for Looked after Children, to assess the service delivered by Lambeth Children’s Social Care.
