Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NHS White Paper.

NHS White Paper

I am pleased to be able to tell my hon. Friend that as part of the coalition programme we have said that we will implement a cancer drugs fund from April 2011. Indeed, my ministerial colleagues—not least the Minister of State, Department of Health, the hon. Member for Sutton and Cheam (Mr Burstow)—and I are looking urgently at what we can do in the meantime to try to ensure that we no longer continue with a situation where patients do not have access to cancer drugs that are routinely available in other countries.
