Cancer Treatment Services: Statements.

 

The key goal of the 1996 national cancer strategy was to achieve a 50% decrease in cancer mortality in the under-65 age group in the ten-year period from 1994. That figure was achieved in 2001, three years ahead of target. At this stage – and I do not wish to be or sound flippant – much has been done, but we have a great deal more to do. Anyone who thinks differently is simply not in contact with the real world. We fully recognise the huge amount of work to be done.
