What the petition asks
The NHS has pulled funding for cancer treatments affecting 5,500 patients claiming that the drugs involved are not cost effective. However, the £100m overspend is the same as Mr Cameron has now pledged to donate to Syria, on top of the £920,000 million already handed to that country since 2011.
