Ms Averil Power:

We feel really sad to have to make that statement. We are very conscious of what it means for people who are affected by cancer for us to say that people are not being given the best possible chance right now for surviving vis-à-vis what they would get if they were in a leading country, such as Spain or Finland. We are also conscious of what it means for an organisation like ours to say we do not have hope, we do not have faith and we do not have the basis for faith to believe that things have improved under this strategy, as they did under the previous ones-----
