The Government have failed cancer patients

Responding to BBC analysis which shows there has been a sharp rise in long waits for cancer therapy in the past four years, Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:

“The Conservatives have taken our health service for granted and have left thousands of waiting cancer patients in the dark.

"This Government needs to act now to get a grip on these devastating cancer waiting times, so cancer patients get the urgent care they need to give them the best chance of survival.

“Millions of patients are being failed by this Government which has driven our health services into the ground for far too long.”
