Charities call on Health Sec to commit to 10-Year Cancer Plan

Young Lives vs Cancer has joined a coalition of 50+ charities and One Cancer Voice to call on the new Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Thérèse Coffey to commit to the 10-Year Cancer Plan.

We are currently in an acute cancer crisis with missed cancer waiting times, a growing cancer backlog and a worsening cancer patient experience. It has never been more important to have strong political leadership on cancer than it is now.

We ask that Thérèse Coffey reaffirms the Prime Minister’s commitment to publishing a 10-Year Cancer Plan by setting out a clear date for publication and your commitment to an ambitious and fully funded plan that delivers for the 1 in 2 people who will get cancer in their lifetime.
