Description

The NHS Cancer Plan (2000) gave a commitment that all patients with cancer have the right to have their care and treatment discussed at a multidisciplinary team meeting. It is important that the MDT operates effectively. The Cancer Reform Strategy (2007) emphasises that MDT working, as specified by NICE guidance, will remain the core model for cancer service delivery in the future. This metric assesses the position of each local and speciality MDTs based on the latest peer review against measures contained within the Manual for Cancer Services 2004.
