The government is urged to invest more in the NHS as a report points to treatment being rationed, patients being reluctant to come forward and late diagnosis meaning lives are lost prematurely.

Meanwhile, the report also pointed to the damaging impact that the pandemic"has had and is continuing to have on cancer services".

The report said:"Disappointingly, even the recent omicron wave of COVID-19 has seen more cancellations of vital cancer treatments indicating the NHS is still not able to access sufficient COVID-free treatment capacity to safeguard treatments and address the backlog. "We do not believe that the NHS is on track to meet the government's target on early cancer diagnosis by 2028.

The report called on the government to develop a plan to address key diagnostic staffing gaps and investment levels as well as publishing a detailed analysis of its cancer backlog and an estimate of how much extra capacity is needed in the health service to address it.
