My Lords, the National Cancer Action Team is working with cancer networks and cancer charities to develop an electronic delivery system that can be used by professionals to deliver information prescriptions to patients at any point during their cancer journey. Eleven tumour-specific information pathways have been developed and are being piloted across 71 sites in England. It is planned that the full system will be available and that all cancer patients will receive an information prescription as part of their consultation from 2010.

The department is currently implementing a national patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) programme. PROMs will provide information on patients' perception of the effectiveness of care they receive. After extensive piloting and research, PROMs is currently being implemented for four elective procedures (hip and knee replacement, groin hernia and varicose veins). Patients will receive a pre-operative questionnaire before the procedure and a post-operative questionnaire is then sent out between three and six months after the procedure. The questionnaires are then compared to assess patients perspective of effectiveness. Patient participation is voluntary; however, a high level of participation was recorded in the pilots.
