NHS Reform

Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Hunt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 July 2015. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NHS Reform.

Absolutely. May I say how pleased I am to welcome my hon. Friend’s experience on the Conservative Benches? It makes a big difference. She is absolutely right. NHS England will be saying more about how we

intend to deal with the problem of late diagnosis of cancer, which is critical if we are to improve our cancer survival rates. One point that links to the announcements I have made today is better collaboration between senior cancer consultants and GPs. If GPs are to be able to spot cancers earlier, they will need to link into the learning they can receive through closer contact with consultants and hospitals. That is something we need to think about.
