On the treatment and ailment of Cancer, MP Robert shared that the National Health Service has treated a record number of cancer patients over the last two years, with cancer being diagnosed at an earlier stage more often and survival rates improving across almost all types of cancer. Therefore the Government still wants to take some practical step against the cause and rightly want to go further.
