Dominic Hughes reports - there are also wider questions

about NHS resources - and funding. When Paul went to see his GP, he

knew that something was not right. At his worries were ignored. Three

years later, he was admitted to hospital with testicular cancer

leading to surgery and months of treatment. He believes that had he

been referred to a cancer specialist in time, the impact on his life

would have been reduced. There has been an opportunity lost and

clearly, medical professionals that I came into contact with influenced

me. The oncologist was furious that I was non-preferred because I have

ended up costing the NHS tens of thousands of pounds. A survey for

the NHS last year suggested that a quarter of people

the NHS last year suggested that a quarter of people eventually

diagnosed with cancer had seen their GP at least three times before being

sent to a specialist. One in four, 80,000 people, were diagnosed by

staff in A after patients or their GPs missed symptoms.

But the doctors union argues that GPs may end up preferring

unnecessary cases, so clogged up specialist services. If cancer was

so simple and easy to diagnose right on the first attempt, we would not

have it as a killer disease. It is difficult to diagnose often and it

is important not just to blame doctors unnecessarily. And the new

chairman of the influential Commons health Select Committee agrees and

says that there is a wider question about the future funding of the

health service. We know that over the next few years we will run into

a crunch time with funding. What is necessary now is for NHS England to

set out clearly what can be achieved within various funding limits. In

other words, will we be able to increase funding will something have

to give? Others argue that the health service already takes a big

enough cut of our taxes and it must live within its means. We need a

serious debate across the political spectrum on what kind of health care

system we want in Britain over the next five, ten, 15 years. Until we

see more bravery from the political leaders, that debate will not happen

and the NHS will continue to be a bottomless pit. The length of time

it takes for patients to be referred to specialist cancer care centres

like this one in Manchester tells us something about the sort of pressure

that the NHS is under innings went. Facing a growing, ageing population

with complicated health needs, budgets are being squeezed. Now the

government is being warned that more money will be needed to keep the NHS

on track. Live now to our political

correspondent Chris Mason who's at The government is talking about

cancer patients but what about the serious debate called for about the

NHS that we can afford? That is the big question that this government

and labour are now wrestling with. Jeremy Hunt sees himself as a

champion of patients, the idea being that if we could check whether the

hotel we are staying in next weekend is any good, why can we not check

whether our doctors surgery is any good? The idea of transparency is

something the government is key on -- keen on because it they think it

is a good idea and it does not cost much money. And there's not money

about. But the government and labour have to wrestle with that. The

coalition is saying that it has ring fenced health funding during this

parliament and labour say that the reforms have been a big mistake and

have cost a lot of money. But there is a bigger question to be asked in

the long term. Can the NHS continue to do all of the things that it

currently does? Can pretty much everything provided by the health

service continued to be provided free at the point of use? A hugely

contentious political question that and one that the politicians are

reluctant to get publicly involved in.

There's been more heavy fighting in Iraq - where government forces

There are reports of heavy casualties on both sides.

Further north, Iraqi Christians have been fleeing in their thousands

from areas attacked by ISIS - including the town of Qaraquosh.

From there, our correspondent Quentin Somerville

It was an ecstatic moment after a week from hell for Iraq's

Christians. The leader of Catholics here came to bring comfort and to

tell them that it was safe to go home. As many as 40,000 Christians

It is, this is our land and we will fight for it. We will stay here.

We're not leaving. This is sending a message that Qaraquosh is back in

Christian hands. It is safe for people to return. ISIS has not gone

away. They are just five kilometres from here. And neither has the

threats to Christians in Iraq. Without peace, the future is bleak.

That is what the Archbishop says. We cannot convince them to stay. You

cannot ensure their safety? No. We have nothing. We have only prayers.

If the decision is to divide the country, into regions or states,

please, do it. But peacefully. They celebrated Mass here today as they

have for hundreds of years. But with another war raging in Iraq, many

wonder how long Christians can remain here.

Our Royal Correspondent Peter Hunt is here.

Peter, what do we know about these conversations?

Well, this is a reasonably rare insight into how Prince Charles of

the price is time while he waits to fulfil his destiny. It has added

resonance because the British monarchy is meant to be in a period

of transition with Charles taking on more of the Queen's workload. What

these ministers have said to this documentary is that when Tony Blair

was in power, and the air to the throne lobbied the Labour government

to try to change course on genetically modified food and

climate change, to introduce componentry medicine on the NHS, and

to increase the number of grammar schools in the country. This,

Charles supporters say, shows him as a mobilising Britons, championing

causes. His critics can arise him as a meddlesome Britons who will become

a metal something. And those who seek to elect him -- seek an elected

state say that the Prince and politics should not mix. The future

King has tried to help and support people and communities here and

abroad, say his spokespeople. Time for some sport now including

After five decades in the music business,

Dolly Parton has made her debut at the world's biggest music festival.

She was the big attraction at Glastonbury today, telling the

audience she was just a country girl - but now felt like a rock star.

Lizo Mzimba reports from Glastonbury.

# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Julian. The crowd was expecting an afternoon

of her best-known hits and they were not disappointed.

# Islands in the stream, that is what we are... This was Dolly's

first Glastonbury, something she has been trying to arrange for years. A

cannibal Levi have not done this before. It is just not worked out

that we have been in this part of the country during the festival. I'd

have done several shows but nothing this big. She has been one of the

most popular acts of the festival even though it is usually different

kinds of artists who encourage people to buy tickets here. Her

appearance is part of Glastonbury's strategy of enabling audiences to

enjoy acts they might never usually choose to see. # Working 9-to-5, or

the way to make a living... And judging by one of the biggest crowds

of the festival, it has been a resounding success.
