We all should get care fit for a king

LABOUR is pledging cancer treatment "fit for a king" for everybody.

Wes Streeting vowed to get the NHS meeting its targets for the disease by the end of the party's first term of office.

The NHS aims to treat cancer patients within two months of an urgent referral.

But the target has not been met since 2015 and around a third wait longer - a total of 102,000 people last year.

And Labour estimates that over 730,000 cancer patients will be waiting too long for ops if the Tories stay in power for another five years.

That is based on a Cancer Research prediction that 2.2 million people will be diagnosed over that period - and the current situation of a third having to wait longer than two months.
