Debate

Cancer Services: North-west London

Contribution

Thanks to our investment and modernisation of the NHS, the Government are putting cancer services on the road to recovery by opening up community diagnostic centres on evenings and weekends, building new surgical hubs and investing in new radiotherapy machines. We are diagnosing cancer faster and treating it sooner. This year, an extra 193,000 patients received a timely diagnosis or the all-clear compared with the previous year.[Official Report, 4 December 2025; Vol. 776, c. 12WC.] (Correction) I am pleased to report that cancer services in north-west London rank among the best performing in England, and we are committed to further improvement.
