Behind every statistic are people facing cancer. 💙

The next Welsh Government has a chance to fix the foundations and create cancer services that are timely, compassionate, and world-class.

We stand ready to work together to make it happen. 🌼

5. 📊 Without good data, we can’t improve care.

We’re calling for robust, routine cancer data — on waiting times, experiences, outcomes, and inequalities — to drive real improvement across Wales. 📈

Patients and the third sector are too often brought in late to decisions.

We believe patient voices and third sector expertise must be at the heart of designing cancer services from the very start. 🤝

Cancer care is complex. From workforce shortages to rising diagnoses, leadership matters.

👥 We’re calling for strong, consistent leadership with clear accountability for cancer services in Wales — so progress is driven, not delayed.

❌ Wales is the only UK nation without a dedicated cancer strategy.

✅ We need a new, long-term cancer strategy that covers prevention, early diagnosis, treatment, living beyond cancer, and end of life.

🗺️ Patients deserve a roadmap for better outcomes, not patchwork plans.
