Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it will publish data on cancer surgery outcomes, broken down by specialist unit and hospital.

Answer

I refer the member to the answer to question S4W-28587 on 2 December 2015, which is available on the Parliament’s website, the search facility for which can be found at http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/parliamentarybusiness/28877.aspx.

In addition in Scotland we have developed a range of Quality Performance Indicators (QPIs), overseen by the National Cancer Quality Programme, for a wide range of tumour types. This programme of work will drive and support continuous quality improvement in cancer care across NHS Scotland.

All cancer QPIs can be found at the following link:
