MHK to question cancer patient waiting times

An MHK is set to bring up the issue of waiting times for cancer patients in the House of Keys next week.

Onchan MHK Julie Edge will quiz Health and Social Care Minister, David Ashford MHK, on the matter when politicians meet again next week.

In a query for written reponse, Ms Edge will ask Mr Ashford what the waiting times were for cancer patient referrals in each of the last three years measured from the date of the initial referral from their GP.

The next Keys session will take place in Douglas next Tuesday, November 3, from 10am.
