United Kingdom (UK) healthcare system is quite successful for achieving the goals of good health outcomes, risk protection, and public satisfaction. Based on the Commonwealth Fund study in 2014, UK healthcare system ranks first regarding quality, access, efficiency, equity, and healthy lives among 11 developed nations with even a fair cost. However, when it comes to cancer outcomes, UK lags behind many developed countries. Cancer survival is a good example of an area in which both health outcomes and public satisfaction, key determinants of quality, are strikingly lacking. Therefore, this paper, to analyze and formulate reforms to address deficient quality in the English health system, will look at the particular example of cancer survival rates. The key factors leading to deficient outcomes in cancer survival are delays in diagnosis and access to appropriate care. Policy recommendations to improve cancer survival rates are to timely screening and early diagnostic opportunities within the primary care system, utilize available treatment capacity and quick approval and workforce training for utilization of new treatments and drugs, and continue prioritizing cancer care coordination and integration through improved referral services, and increase provider decision support
