Cancer: Ashfield
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to reduce delays in cancer treatment for patients in Ashfield.
- Answer
-
Cancer patients are waiting too long for a diagnosis and treatment. We are determined to change that.
The National Cancer Plan, published in February 2026, sets a clear ambition to meet all cancer waiting time standards, including in the Ashfield constituency, by the end of this Parliament, ensuring patients get faster diagnosis and treatment. We will achieve this through a modernised, more productive cancer pathway, expanding diagnostic capacity, harnessing technology, and giving the most challenged trusts intensive support to deliver the improvements patients rightly expect.
