40,000 jobs under threat in the NHS: Axe fails despite 'ring-fence' vow

Cancer services face shake-up under coalition
Cancer services are to be shaken up to improve survival rates, reorganise how drugs are paid for and ensure cases are picked up earlier, ministers have announced. A review is to be carried out of the Cancer Reform Strategy to focus on bringing survival rates up to match the best in the world, Paul Burstow, Care Minister, has said. Cancer 'tsar' Sir Mike Richards will lead the review with objectives set out by the coalition government in a White Paper due out next week.
