Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andrew Selous and Victoria Atkins

Tuesday 5th March 2024 Commons Chamber

[Victoria Atkins]

Again, I thank the hon. Lady for sharing her experience, and of course we are doing all we can. I know that the SNP Scottish Government share our determination to ensure that cancer treatment continues to improve. England is diagnosing earlier and treating more. We have seen cancer survival rates improve by almost 10 percentage points since 2005, but we also know that four in 10 cancers could be prevented, which is exactly why we are bringing forward the smoke-free generation work. Of course, if the Scottish Government would like us to help with some of their waiting lists, we genuinely stand ready to do so.

[Andrew Selous (South West Bedfordshire) (Con)]
