Right now, 1 in 4 people with leukaemia face avoidable delays in diagnosis. Delays that cost lives.
For the first time, leukaemia is recognised in the National Cancer Plan. That recognition matters. But recognition is only the first step. Action is what saves lives.
Now we must turn progress into practice. By adding your name, you strengthen the call for the Government to deliver earlier diagnosis of leukaemia.
Earlier diagnosis means:
-
Faster referral for full blood counts when symptoms appear.
-
Fewer people are diagnosed through emergency setting.
-
Access to specialist haematology care at the right time.
These are the changes that save lives. And when thousands of us come together, we can help make that happen. On the 2nd of June we will deliver these signatures to the Prime Minister.
