A national tragedy that some cancer patients face 3-4h rounds trips to receive life saving radiotherapy care.
Thank you @timfarron for shedding light on our depleted radiotherapy services. Cancer waiting times will keep rising as long as these severe shortages remain unaddressed

ALT Official portrait of Selaine Saxby MP on the right. Black text on green background on the right which says: “Radiotherapy, plays a crucial role in fighting cancer yet many patients in the UK face significant barriers when it comes to accessing this treatment. Considering the urgency of addressing backlogs and reducing wait times for cancer treatment, a debate on this topic is vital.” Selaine Saxby MP

This afternoon at Health Questions I challenged the Heath Secretary to ensure new cutting edge radiotherapy equipment is getting to the front line, alongside a fully staffed radiotherapy workforce, in order to cut waiting times between diagnosis and treatment and save lives. – at London, England

Good to see co-founder of the #CatchUpWithCancer campaign @prof_price quoted in the @DailyMailUK on the failing war on cancer.
"the targets to reduce these numbers have been pushed back – yet again – proving that cancer has slipped down the agenda."

In Cumbria and across the country, we have a cancer crisis, with patients waiting months to receive their first treatment.
In the House of Commons I asked the Health Minister if she would back our radiotherapy campaign with @Daily_Express for £1bn investment to improve treatment
