Scottish Cancer Taskforce
The Scottish Cancer Taskforce (SCT) oversees the actions outlined within Better Cancer Care, An Action Plan, which was published in October 2008. The SCT supersedes the Scottish Cancer Group which had its final meeting on 5 December, 2008.
Membership
The Taskforce is chaired by Dr Aileen Keel, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Scottish Government and includes representatives from the Cancer Area Networks, NHS Chief Executives' Group, NHS Directors of Nursing Group, NHS Information Services Division and from the voluntary sector. To ensure other relevant Scottish Government work streams are reported into the SCT, policy officials from other Health Directorates form part of the standing Taskforce membership.
Representatives from other organisations are invited to meetings on an ad hoc basis according to the agenda.
