Tuesday, August 27, 2002Alan Milburn, the Health Secretary, made cancer his priority along with tackling heart disease yet some clinicians said they had received little or none of £255 million earmarked for cancer last year and feared that this year’s £76 million could also disappear. Professor Mike Richards, the National Cancer Director (also known as the cancer czar), admitted that the Health Department did not know if the £255 million earmarked for cancer care last year had reached the front line. “We think in the end it has not,” he said, “which is why we are now trying to find out what actually reached the front line.” They "think" it might have gone to paying off hospital debts instead of treating cancer patients. posted by Sydney on 8/27/2002 07:00:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
