The National Cancer Programme Work Plan 2015-2016 outlines selected activities for 2015-2016 that will contribute to the vision of ensuring all people have timely access to excellent cancer services that will enable them to live better and longer.
The work plan should be read alongside the New Zealand Cancer Plan 2015-2018. District health board annual plans, the regional cancer networks’ annual work plans and the Ministry’s business plans also provide more specific detail on the work that each of these groups is leading.
