New figures have identified huge variations in cancer survival rates

variations in cancer surviv`l rates around London. MacMillan Cancer

Support claim there is a postcode lottery when it comes to thd

lottery when it comes to the treatment received.

If you live in Barking and Dagenham, or new, and you get cancer, you are

more likely to die within one year than elsewhere in London. In fact,

12 of London's boroughs underperform 12 of London's boroughs underperform

the rest of England for one year cancer survival rates. 38% of cancer

patients in Barking and Dagdnham die patients in Barking and Dagenham die

within 12 months, compared with just 27% in Westminster. New, Waltham

Forest, Redbridge and Hackndy are Forest, Redbridge and Hackney are

also among the worst for ond year also among the worst for ond year

cancer survival. To the west, as well as in Westminster, people in

Richmond, Barnett, Harrow and Kensington and Chelsea tend to fare

better. Why the disparity? GP David Lloyd practices in one of the better

performing boroughs, Harrow. He puts the differences down to deprivation,

the languages spoken in the local population, and the ability of

medical staff to pick up thd subtle medical staff to pick up thd subtle

signs of cancer. But the main issue signs of cancer. But the main issue

is awareness. As doctors, wd signs of cancer. But the mahn issue

is awareness. As doctors, wd can't do anything about people sitting on

their symptoms. So getting those important symptoms of cancer out

into the public so they are aware of what to look for is a vital part.

One of the things we have noticed in the last year is two very prominent

campaigns, one for a persistent cough, and the other for blood in

your stools. Both of those have been very big campaigns with lots of

advertising, and there was ` advertising, and there was a

noticeable increase in patidnts noticeable increase in patidnts

coming to see us with those symptoms. Here in Barking, people

had questions as to why the borough was performing so badly. If the NHS

is uniform, if we are all getting is uniform, if we are all gdtting

the same level of service, that statistic is way to beat. I'm

surprised because we have some good hospitals. It has become quite a

pollution. I think there is quite a lot of good care, but I do think it

is overcrowded. I think it is unacceptable but not surprising It

unacceptable but not surprising. It is a combination of education,

diversity, lack of funding hnto is a combination of education,

diversity, lack of funding into the services by local and centr`l

of Health had to say? They have released a statement in response,

saying that more than ?750 million saying that more than ?750 lillion

is being invested to improve saying that more than ?750 million

care. It says it is unacceptable that where you live can have

major influence over whether and it concludes that survival ratds in

England are improving overall but that we must do more.

combined with those of her late husband on their electronic system.

At no time, they claim, was there any risk that she might havd

any risk that she might have received inappropriate treatment as
