The Government says it has tonight declared a "war on cancer" as it unveils what it claims are ambitious plans to make the country's cancer care system the "best in Europe" within 10 years.
Cancer is still the biggest cause of death from disease in the UK and Covid placed an extra strain on an NHS already crippled by years of underfunding under Tory rule.
In a statement from the Department of Health and Social Care tonight, a spokesperson said Health Secretary Sajid Javid will today “declare a war on cancer” and launch a "call for evidence to underpin" what he will call a '10-Year Cancer Plan' for England.
