Delighted to be relected as Vice-Chair of @APPGRT for Radiotherapy
UK Cancer patients waiting more than 62 days desperately need a National Plan for RT.
World class RT is achievable in the UK within 10 years, but action is needed now. @ARC_NetUK

A national tragedy that some cancer patients face 3-4h rounds trips to receive life saving radiotherapy care.
Thank you @timfarron for shedding light on our depleted radiotherapy services. Cancer waiting times will keep rising as long as these severe shortages remain unaddressed

Delighted to be re-elected Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Radiotherapy this afternoon.
Investing in radiotherapy and improving access to it (especially for rural communities like Cumbria) is absolutely vital to us tackling the cancer backlog and saving lives.

Good to see co-founder of the #CatchUpWithCancer campaign @prof_price quoted in the @DailyMailUK on the failing war on cancer.
"the targets to reduce these numbers have been pushed back – yet again – proving that cancer has slipped down the agenda."

In Cumbria and across the country, we have a cancer crisis, with patients waiting months to receive their first treatment.
In the House of Commons I asked the Health Minister if she would back our radiotherapy campaign with @Daily_Express for £1bn investment to improve treatment
