Campaign reply - ‘Can you help us get faster treatment for pancreatic cancer?’


A number of constituents have contacted me as part of the campaign ‘Can you help us get faster treatment for pancreatic cancer?’

As someone who lost my own mum to cancer I am fully aware of the impact this terrible disease has on millions of people and their families.

I support Pancreatic Cancer UK’s demand for faster treatment, so that by 2024 all pancreatic cancer patients are treated within 20 days of diagnosis.

I will be raising this with Ministerial colleagues in Parliament and asking them to commit to a 20-day treatment goal.
