title: Cancer services. Left to chance.
abstract: Most primary care groups/trusts have cancer lead posts and have some involvement in planning and commissioning cancer services. Cancer is not a high priority in comparison to other national service frameworks and the transition to PCT status. PCG/Ts want help and information about developing cancer services but not all want this now. Most PCG/Ts have some involvement in cancer networks but information needs exist about their role and potential.
