Michelle Mitchell, Chief Executive at Cancer Research UK (CRUK), shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Every month, thousands of patients are waiting longer than they should to start their cancer treatment.
It’s a time where every day can feel like forever. The UK Government made a welcome commitment in its National Cancer Plan for England to hit cancer wait time targets by the end of this parliament, but it’s currently not on track to achieve this.
Urgent action is needed now, including investing in staff and equipment, otherwise people affected by cancer will continue to be let down.”
