    We could need double the number of #NHS staff who diagnose & treat cancer by 2027, just to meet increased demand. Will @MattHancock stand #ShouldertoShoulder against cancer?

    1/ Concerning report. Smoking is biggest cause of cancer & premature death.🚬is an addiction not a choice & Govt has a duty to help. They must publish a full Tobacco Control Plan with action to reach #SmokefreeUK, which would reduce impact on NHS & economy.

    Cancer doesn’t stop due to a pandemic, and neither do cancer campaigners. On 4 February, we’re looking forward to uniting with cancer campaigners from @ActionRTherapy, @macmillancancer and @PancreaticCanUK for our #WorldCancerDay #CampaignerConnections virtual event
