Answer
I know that treatment for all cancers is a difficult time for patients and their families.
This government will shift more healthcare out of hospitals and into the community, to support patients and their families with more personalised care in the most appropriate setting.
We will also get the NHS diagnosing and treating cancer earlier, including through investment in MRI and CT scanners, and improve patients’ and families’ experience.
