Cancer sector information
A review of all cancer advisory groups that report to the Scottish Government was completed in early 2021 recommending that six new cancer governance groups be convened. The Scottish Government Cancer Policy team then engaged with representatives from across Scotland’s cancer community to gather their views on the reconfiguration of the groups. The refreshed structure is set out in the organogram below, with dark coloured boxes denoting those groups which were a focus of the review and engagement exercises. Implementation has begun and will be complete by 2023. There may therefore be further adjustment to the structure over this period.
