I joined local residents Panda and Alexandra, local Councillors and London Assembly Member Tony Devenish for a Macmillan Coffee Morning last Friday. I am proud to support this fantastic charity, which provides services for people living with cancer at every stage of their journey.
The Government is investing £8 billion by 2025 to help deliver nine million checks, scans, and operations by 2025, and expand the number of surgical hubs across the country. As part of the 2021 Spending Review, £2.3 billion was committed to expand Community Diagnostic Centres, which will offer rapid access to clinical tests and lifesaving checks closer to home. These centres have already delivered over 3.8 million additional checks and tests and are playing an important role in helping to reduce waiting times.
