2010 General Election: promises, promises…
Dear Colleagues,
As the country gears itself up for a General Election in May, what are the implications for health, and in particular cancer?
The public media has already started using health issues, and cancer in particular, to tease out debate, and though the three main parties have openly named health as a key election priority, only two have specific plans for cancer. One thing is for sure, we will have heard much during their campaign as the footballs of health and cancer are kicked around the political playing field.
In this issue of Cancer Services Forum we hope to give you a brief summary of the political parties’ dressing room talks on healthcare and cancer care—and how they would fund their plans—before the big match on the 6th May.
