The independent Cancer Taskforce recommended 96 changes and improvements.
Recommendation 78 states:
“Establish a new model for integrated Cancer Alliances at
sub-regional level as owners of local metrics and the main vehicles for local service improvement and accountability in cancer (pg66)”
This means that:

The sub-regional level is the Humber Coast & Vale area
Metrics are the measurements of what matters

The approach to funding for 2017/18
has also been agreed

5. National Geography of the Cancer Alliance

6. Humber Coast & Vale The Humber Coast and Vale area covers:
6 NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups
6 six local authority boundaries
These represent communities in Hull, East
Riding, York, Scarborough and Ryedale,
North Lincolnshire and North East
Lincolnshire - we call this our planning
footprint.
This scale creates opportunities:
to share resource in areas where we are
currently stretched
providing a better service
to patients and a better experience for the
staff who work within those services.
Support services such as finance can also be
shared to reduce costs and improve
Efficiency
Most of the things we do, however,
will aim to deliver the best care we can
locally, shaped around local need.
