Cancer Treatment Services: Statements (Resumed).

 

We as a country must move on. If we are serious about providing the quality services we need, we have to ensure not only that those services are spread throughout many parts of the country but also that they are specialist services and that there are good transport links to get people to those services, particularly in the case of oncology and radiotherapy services for cancer. We must disconnect medical politics from politics generally. Too often we devote too much time to the issue of politics and its connection with the best possible spend from our money, and that is a real problem which we must confront.
