MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR IRFON WILLIAMS

That this House supports the campaign to ensure that Irfon Williams of Bangor is given the most appropriate treatment for his illness; notes that he has now moved from Wales to England and that subsequently an application has been submitted by his doctors to the Cancer Drugs Fund; regrets that his family, friends and supporters have had to conduct a campaign on his behalf, as have others in a similar position; and is grateful to the medical staff at Ysybyty Gwynedd Bangor for the treatment and care that he has received, but believes that there should be a proper system and process in Wales to ensure that the best treatments are available to cancer patients and others, and that families, friends and supporters should not have to wage case by case campaigns.
