Provide funding to reduce waiting times for cancer patients to start treatment

Closed 40 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to put funding in place to increase resources so that all patients who have been diagnosed with cancer, including those who have been told the cancer has spread, can start treatment more quickly.
I am concerned about the long waits cancer patients can experience to access treatment. I do not want this to be the case for cancer patients any more.
