Summary
The government’s new 10-year National Cancer Plan for England aims to bring cancer care squarely into the 21st century.

Full of promises to ‘end the treatment postcode lottery’ that too often means some but not all patients access the latest innovations, the key question is one of credibility. The plan is bold, but does the NHS have the resources to deliver the myriad commitments quickly, while fixing the basics?
