Prime Minister Recognises Cancer As A National Health Priority: Cancerbackup Welcomes Cuts On Waiting Times, UK

In response to Prime Minister Gordon Brown's speech, Cancerbackup issues the following statement:


"The Prime Minister has shown today that cancer is one of his absolute priorities," says Joanne Rule Cancerbackup Chief Executive. "It is vital that treatment for cancer is started as soon as possible to ensure the best chance of survival, which is why we welcome today's announcements to reduce cancer waiting times and particularly treat all breast cancer cases as urgent.


"We know from a MORI poll carried out for Cancerbackup last year, that 76 per cent of the public believe that cancer is a national health priority, placing it way ahead of other illnesses. What we need now is for the Cancer Reform Strategy to be published soon and for it to include real targets."


Results of Cancerbackup's Ipsos MORI poll on cancer priorities

2. All Cancerbackup services are free to cancer patients, their relatives and friends.
