Opposition parties say claimed new pledges are not new but an attempt to distract from record NHS backlog
Boris Johnson has been accused of a “shameful spinning” of key pledges on cancer care in an attempt to distract from the NHS’s record 6 million-strong backlog of people on waiting lists.
The prime minister used a visit to a cancer centre in Kent to unveil plans for what were portrayed as two new care standards that would ensure people in England with the disease get diagnosed more quickly.
