Campaigners say there is a significant divide between England and Wales in access to new cancer medicines.

The Rarer Cancers Foundation (RCF) is claiming patients in Wales are four times less likely to receive new treatment than those in England.

Health ministers in England set up a special fund worth ?200m a year in 2010, to help pay for expensive new cancer drugs.

The Welsh Government has defended its record on spending for cancer patients.
