Thank you @ClaireJW_MS for highlighting the experiences of leukaemia patients in the Senedd yesterday.
We're ready to work with @WGHealthandCare to ensure all leukaemia patients can access timely and effective diagnosis, treatment and care, and improve leukaemia outcomes. ๐งก
Yesterday in Parliament, we launched our new report to end the delays in leukaemia diagnosis.
Huge thanks to our event sponsor @pauljholmes, to @Labour_Douglas, @StuartAndrew and our incredible Community Champion, Jade, for their powerful speeches, and to the 26 MPs & Peers who attended. (1/2)
โ ๏ธ Right now, 1 in 4 people with leukaemia face avoidable delays in diagnosis. Delays that cost lives.
Add your name and tell the Government to end the delays in leukaemia diagnosis: https://t.co/ajST79y7Oj
No one should have to fight to be heard. But like Jade, 1 in 4 people with leukaemia face avoidable delays in their diagnosis. Itโs time to end the delays.
