Follow-up

The Ministry of Health and Care Services has assigned operational responsibility for following up the strategy to the Norwegian Directorate of Health. The work will be coordinated by the Partnership against Cancer, which consists of the Norwegian Cancer Society, the Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities (KS), the four regional health authorities, cancer patient organisations, the Cancer Registry of Norway and the Norwegian Directorate of Health. The Norwegian Directorate of Health will lead this partnership.

In addition, a strategic partnership will be established between the Ministry of Health and Care Services and the Norwegian Cancer Society. The plan is to hold annual meetings where a selected focus area from the strategy will be raised and goal achievement in this area discussed in each meeting. The strategic partnership will discuss objectives for the year ahead and consider adjusting the work if obstacles to achieving the ten-year goals arise or if any of the goals are achieved early on in the strategy period. The Norwegian Cancer Society will involve the Cancer Mission Hub Norway both before and after meetings in order to involve a broad alliance of business and industry players, health and care services, scientists etc. in the work of following up the strategy. The Norwegian Directorate of Health will contribute to the preparations, attend meetings and contribute in the follow-up.
