Experts have said that delays in treating cancer patients must be tackled now
Cancer care in the NHS is at a"watershed moment" and the crisis must be tackled with the same urgency as the search for a COVID vaccine, experts have warned.
They said the NHS and frontline staff need the same urgency and leadership that was given to the COVID-19 Vaccine Taskforce.Latest NHS figures show a decline in the number of people starting their first cancer treatment within two months. A new NHS workforce plan should"lead to major improvements in cancer care" but"short-term action is needed to save lives now".
It states:"Inefficient practices have emerged: secretarial support has been suspended so consultants are less productive than they should be, obsolete IT slowing everyday work, workflow tools not being purchased, and antiquated equipment, such as radiotherapy machines, so out of date they take twice as long as modern machines to treat patients less well than is possible".
