ALMOST 35,000 more patients a month are waiting longer than two weeks for a cancer hospital appointment since the Conservatives came to power, according to Labour.
Compared to when they were last in government in 2010, Labour said that close to 420,000 extra people this year will wait more than two weeks for a follow-up after having been told by their GP that they might have cancer.
Labour said the longer waits cannot be blamed on Covid pandemic backlogs.
