Call You & Yours: What's your experience of cancer treatment on the NHS?
You and YoursAvailable for over a year
On our phone in today we're asking "What's your experience of cancer treatment on the NHS?" The BBC's health team has been analysing which hospital trusts are the fastest and slowest for diagnosing and treating cancer in England. Over the past few years, pressure on NHS cancer services have been mounting. All countries in the UK are not meeting their targets that patients should wait no more than 62 days from their cancer referral being recieved to start treatment. The number of people surviving cancer has improved hugely in the past 50 years but speed is often crucial to a good prognosis. "What's your experience of cancer treatment on the NHS?"
