They claim patients are waiting too long
Labour is promising an extra 40,000 appointments, tests and scans a week at evenings and weekends if it wins the General Election , as part of a plan to 'catch cancer' earlier.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey, who lost both his parents to cancer, said he wanted to “end the tragedy of people losing their lives because cancer treatment took too long to start." “Thankfully, survival rates and treatments have improved since I lost both my parents to cancer growing up. But there is so much more we must do to improve cancer care and spare families the heartbreak of losing a loved one to this terrible disease.
Labour has claimed 700,000 cancer patients will wait too long for treatment if the Conservatives are given another five years” in Government.
