One of the Secretary of State’s first acts as Minister was to meet with clinicians to discuss what more we can do to diagnose and treat patients with brain tumours including glioblastoma.

In September 2024, my Department announced new funding opportunities for brain tumour research to make sure promising treatments are made available to patients.
