Milestones

The government should provide more funding to ensure faster cancer diagnosis and treatment by reducing waiting times for biopsies, scans and chemotherapy. Guarantee patients timely access to life-saving care through increased investment, staffing and resources, so delays do not cost lives.

Reform cancer care to ensure faster access to diagnosis and treatment by providing increased funding. Quicker referrals from GP's when there are concerns. Waiting times for biopsies, scans and chemotherapy must be reduced through greater investment, improved capacity and workforce support. And better end of life care, with collaboration from local contracts, pharmacies and GP's, even in rural areas. Patients deserve timely and effective care that meets urgent clinical need.
