Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 March 2012. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I applaud the generosity of Sir Robert Ogden in making those funds available. It is right that the building should be named after him. My hon. Friend will have read ““Improving Outcomes: A Strategy for Cancer””, which was published in January last year. It outlines our commitment to improve outcomes for cancer patients and to save 5,000 additional lives every year by 2014-15. I understand that the new centre to which my hon. Friend referred is being funded jointly by Macmillan Cancer Support, the local NHS foundation trust and the donation. That is exactly the sort of progress that we want to see to enable us to hit our cancer targets.
