Cancer Outcomes and Services Data Set Overview
Due to the rapidly changing situation with Covid-19, the implementation date of the Cancer Outcomes and Services Data Set (COSDS) has been deferred until 1 July 2020.
This will be reviewed and continued to be moved forward 3 months until there is a stable position nationally to resume the upgrade process.
For further information please contact: COSD@phe.gov.uk.
