[Grahame Morris MP @grahamemorris]

Delighted to be relected as Vice-Chair of @APPGRT for Radiotherapy

UK Cancer patients waiting more than 62 days desperately need a National Plan for RT.

World class RT is achievable in the UK within 10 years, but action is needed now. @ARC_NetUK

[APPG Radiotherapy @APPGRT]

Great to support our world class radiographers who do such fantastic work 👏👏

[CatchUpWithCancer @RTherapy4Life]

A national tragedy that some cancer patients face 3-4h rounds trips to receive life saving radiotherapy care.

Thank you @timfarron for shedding light on our depleted radiotherapy services. Cancer waiting times will keep rising as long as these severe shortages remain unaddressed

[Greg Smith MP @gregsmith_uk]

This afternoon at Health Questions I challenged the Heath Secretary to ensure new cutting edge radiotherapy equipment is getting to the front line, alongside a fully staffed radiotherapy workforce, in order to cut waiting times between diagnosis and treatment and save lives.

[CatchUpWithCancer @RTherapy4Life]

Good to see co-founder of the #CatchUpWithCancer campaign @prof_price quoted in the @DailyMailUK on the failing war on cancer.

"the targets to reduce these numbers have been pushed back – yet again – proving that cancer has slipped down the agenda."

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

In Cumbria and across the country, we have a cancer crisis, with patients waiting months to receive their first treatment.

In the House of Commons I asked the Health Minister if she would back our radiotherapy campaign with @Daily_Express for £1bn investment to improve treatment

[The ICR @ICR_London]

We're supporting @radiotherapy_uk's campaign to increase investment in #Radiotherapy.

Investing in research is also crucial to improve radiotherapy treatment for patients. Find out why in the thread below⬇️🧵(1/5)
