In Cumbria and across the country, we have a cancer crisis, with patients waiting months to receive their first treatment. In the House of Commons I asked the Health Minister if she would back our radiotherapy campaign with Daily Express for £1bn investment to improve treatment

Lynsey Rice is repping us today as we join 60+ cancer charities to hand in the #onecancervoice petition calling on Rishi Sunak to take action on cancer. Nearly 1 in 2 patients are now waiting over the 62 days target time for cancer treatment. Cancer patients deserve better!

This afternoon at Health Questions I challenged the Heath Secretary to ensure new cutting edge radiotherapy equipment is getting to the front line, alongside a fully staffed radiotherapy workforce, in order to cut waiting times between diagnosis and treatment and save lives.

Happy #WorldRadiographyDay to the amazing UK workforce (and global colleagues too!). It takes a team of special people to make cancer treatment bearable and your skills and compassion are wide-ranging and immense. Thank you for all that you do.

A national tragedy that some cancer patients face 3-4h rounds trips to receive life saving radiotherapy care. Thank you Tim Farron for shedding light on our depleted radiotherapy services. Cancer waiting times will keep rising as long as these severe shortages remain unaddressed
