Delays in diagnoses - please sign our petition

Please sign our petition for the government to sort out the crisis which is causing so many of us to be diagnosed later than we should be! I believe we're hoping to get all candidates in the general election to sign this to emphasise that this isn't a party political issue.

    Just signed. Thanks for posting link.

    I just want to add that it is a scandal that the UK, the wealthiest country of Europe with the highest GDP, spends less per person in healthcare than some of the smaller and poorer countries. And it is even more shocking that not many politicians seem to be bothered with the situation.

    The only way to put presure and get a change in healthcare policy, is if patients took the NHS to court every time they get a late diagnosis.

    If France and Germany can afford to have decent health services with no waiting times for cancer treatment and plenty of screening to enable early diagnosis, why can't the UK?
