Early Treatment Of Cancer Patients

EDM number 771 in 1993-94, proposed by Gwyneth Dunwoody on 08/03/1994.

That this House, convinced that immediate treatment frequently means the difference between life and death for patients suffering from cancer, calls upon the Secretary of State for Health to implement as a matter of urgency the guidelines laid down by the Joint Council for Clinical Oncology on the waiting times for treatment; further demands that no closures or amalgamations of specialist hospitals like the Royal Marsden, or the Oncology Department of Saint Bartholomew's Hospital, should go ahead until patient need has been fully met; and insists that the Department of Health should investigate hospital waiting times for oncology departments and make that information available to Parliament immediately.

This motion has been signed by a total of 170 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
