Labour has vowed to meet all NHS cancer waiting time targets – which have not been met for over a decade – within just three years and pledged that more people will survive cancer, as part of its flagship 10-year plan to tackle the disease.
Under the long-awaited National Cancer Plan, set to be unveiled on Wednesday, the government promised to meet all NHS waiting time targets for cancer by 2029, by accelerating diagnosis and speeding up treatment times across the country.
