The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right—indeed, I am just going on to make that very point. It is not just cancer patients who will be affected; there are many other people in exactly the same position.

The National Aids Trust makes the point:"““Many people living with HIV who are found eligible will face significant barriers to work that cannot be overcome within 12 months.””"
