The push to improve cancer services in England has "lost momentum" in the past two years and the NHS must adapt to cope with demand, says a report by a group of MPs.

The Public Accounts Committee said the NHS was struggling to meet waiting time standards and had reduced resources.

UK cancer survival rates, while improving, were poor compared with the rest of Europe, the report said.

NHS England said it was already working on a new five-year strategy.
