Wendy Chamberlain

Liberal Democrat — North East Fife

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 November 2026

Debate

Cancer (Reporting and Strategy) Bill

Contribution

My hon. Friend is making a powerful speech, which is bringing out some of the emotional impacts of cancer, but does he agree that there is also an economic argument to be made? If people are diagnosed and get treatment more quickly, they are more likely to be able to return to the workplace more quickly. We sometimes debate issues such as welfare in this Chamber, but surely getting things right in the NHS as quickly as possible has a wider economic benefit, too. All hon. Members should welcome that.
