Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 February 2026

Debate

National Cancer Plan

Contribution

Our plan also gives pride of place to children and young people. We will improve their experience of care at every level, from hospital food to youth worker support and play support. I pay tribute to my honourable friend the Member for Leyton and Wanstead (Mr Bailey) for his campaigning on that point. Our children and young people cancer taskforce asked for support with travel costs, because when someone’s child has cancer, the last thing they should worry about is how they will pay for their train ticket. Today, I can announce that we will fund those travel costs.
