Our policy activity

These policy reports concern the issues we have prioritised. They allow us to take a wider perspective - to examine the current evidence and insight; to better understand how a problem is being addressed from across Wales and to propose better ways of working.

When Government has an idea for something they normally ask the public what they think about it. As the voice of people affected by cancer in Wales, we respond to these consultations by telling Government what we think and by doing so help to shape the policies affecting people with cancer.

We will aim to ask the All-Wales Cancer Community to inform our responses to Government consultations to ensure the views of people affected by cancer inform Government policy.
