ADPH responds to Welsh Government consultation on developing a National Cancer Strategy

We have responded to a call for evidence from the Welsh Government on its National Cancer Strategy. In our response, we highlight:

• The importance of preventing the harms of tobacco, obesity, alcohol, and the commercial determinants of health.
• The role of screening and associated risks.
• How data can be used to improve outcomes.
• The role of health promotion and the NHS as an anchor institution.
• The need for well-funded, evidence-based preventative strategies.
