An early visit to a general practice can make a cancer more treatable, and thereby improve cancer survival rates. These campaigns are delivered by PHE in partnership with the Department and NHS England. There are a number of cancers, including those where symptoms can be non-specific, which are not covered by ‘Be Clear on Cancer’ explicitly.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 17/10/2016 15:58:38 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat
