NHS Failing Cancer Patients

More than 10,000 people die needlessly in the UK each year because their cancers are not diagnosed in time, a study says.

Only 53 per cent of women and 42 per cent of men with cancer survive for more than five years.

... The failure of GPs comes despite their pay soaring by more than 50 per cent - to over £100,000 - since a new contract was agreed in 2004.
