New cancer waiting times show 1 in 2 cancer patients face dangerous treatment delays – Please use this link to email your MP and ask them to speak up on behalf of cancer patients and their families. There is an opportunity next week for your MP to raise this issue at a debate in Parliament. Every 4 weeks of delay to treatment can increase risk of death by 10% and according to NHS data nearly half of cancer patients are waiting more than 2 months to start their treatment.
This is a cancer emergency, every MP should know about it and be calling for change.
Using this easy link only takes 2 minutes and can quickly send an email to your local MP using just your postcode. Every email that is sent increases the number of MPs who will attend this important debate to call on the Government to act. So please also get your friends and family to use it too.
We started the #CatchUpWithCancer Campaign to stop other families from losing loved ones prematurely and needlessly to cancer. In January 2023, 7,000 people faced unacceptable treatment delays – this is not OK. We need to shout louder. Please consider using your voice so the Government hears our message loud and clear!
