Set up by the cross-party Health and Social Care Committee, Dame Jane has been Chair of the politically impartial Expert Panel since August 2020, with the aim of assessing government pledges in different areas of healthcare policy.

The panel gives Care Quality Commission-style ratings on the government鈥檚 performance in meeting policy commitments, grading them from 鈥渋nadequate鈥� to 鈥渙utstanding鈥�. The independent and objective evaluation is designed to enhance the select committee鈥檚 core task of holding the government and ministers to account.

For the latest evaluation, five specialists from different areas of cancer services have been appointed, bringing their subject specific expertise and experience. The specialist members have been working alongside the core members of the Expert Panel to identify听a set of government commitments made in cancer services and evaluate the UK Government鈥檚 progress against them.听

The panel has issued an open call for written submissions specifically addressing the question of the extent to which the chosen targets have been met. The government will be invited to provide its own evidence of achievement or progress towards the targets.

Dame Jane, who is Professor of Medical Education at 香港六合彩中特网, said: 鈥淕overnment pledges are often made in a blaze of publicity. This process, based on collecting and evaluating evidence helps us to make a judgment on how well a selection of pledges have been met.

"Expert Panel members are all independent of government and are known for their skills and experience, and also for 鈥榮peaking truth to power鈥�. It is challenging, but also intellectually stimulating and rewarding to lead the evaluations.鈥�

The panel will produce a report with a rating against each chosen target, using the scale used by the Care Quality Commission - Outstanding/Good/Requires Improvement/Inadequate. It will also make an overall rating of the government's progress towards its commitments in the chosen policy area. 听

The Expert Panel鈥檚 first report, published in July 2021, evaluated Government progress against its policy commitments in the area of听听in England.

In December 2021, the second听听was published, an Evaluation of the Government鈥檚 progress against its policy commitments in the area of mental health services in England. Both the reports concluded the UK Government鈥檚 overall progress in meeting its commitments 鈥榬equires improvement鈥�.
