All cancer patients should receive a 'recovery package' at the end of their treatment offering ongoing support, the government has announced.

Currently as many as three in four patients do not receive any information on coping with the long-term effects of their illness, figures suggest.

The care plans will identify patients' financial, mental and physical needs.

Ministers called on the NHS to take "urgent action" to help cancer survivors in England.
