In 2006 the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence issued guidance that laparoscopic resection is recommended as an alternative to open resection for individuals with colorectal cancer in whom both laparoscopic and open surgery are considered suitable. Due to the lack of trained colorectal surgeons a waiver was issued, which is due to be reviewed in September 2009. In 2007 the Cancer Action Team (CAT) at the Department of Health (DH) instituted the national training programme (NTP) for laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS) for colorectal consultants in England. The intention is to provide all suitable patients with bowel cancer in need of resection, access to a trained surgeon for laparoscopic resection. The programme is funded by the CAT.
