Getting it right for people with cancer: what the voluntary sector wants from the cancer reform strategy from the Cancer Campaigning Group outlines the vision of the coalition, working together to improve and save lives. It sets out ambitious yet realistic proposals for how to significantly reduce mortality rates and current inequities in cancer care, and create a service designed around the person throughout their cancer journey.

Proposals include speeding up drug approval, more money for radiotherapy services and a possible clampdown on sunbeds and cigarette vending machines. Breast and bowel cancer screening programmes will also be extended as well as a greater focus on prevention.
