Cancer patients in UK have 40% less spent on medication
NHS cancer patients have 40 per cent less spent on their medicines than those in other European countries, a report reveals. It is one of the reasons the UK death rate is above the European average.

Babies who can't sit up at 9 months 'struggle at school'

The researchers, who tracked 15,000 children over the first five years of their lives, said a simple screening test before a child reaches their first birthday could prove crucial in preventing youngsters falling behind.
