5-year survival for breast cancer is 98% if diagnosed at Stage 1 and 89.5% at Stage 2 (out of 4 stages). Early diagnosis through screening means treatment is less invasive and more effective. Please take up your screening invitation; it makes a major difference to outcomes.

By giving patients care in their own homes the Hospital at Home service helps reduce long A&E stays and frees up beds for people who need them most. Shifting care from hospital to community is a core pillar of our Plan for Change. Stephen Kinnock saw this approach in action East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust.
