Professor M. John Kennedy:

The key thing for us in curing as many patients as possible today is that they have access to GPs, access from GPs to rapid diagnostics, and access from diagnostics indicating cancer to rapid treatment. That requires infrastructure, particularly in the form of staff. Our biggest problems are the recruitment and retention of staff. Facilities, including scanning, operation-room and day-treatment facilities, are also required. If we work on prevention today, we will have an impact in 15 years on the incidence of cancer. If we want to fix the Deputy's young constituents today, we need access to GPs, diagnostics, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It is all about access. Access is about infrastructure, and infrastructure is about people and facilities.
