This is the best summary I could come up with:


An estimated 1,857 cancer patients in the most deprived communities were diagnosed late in March of this year, and more than 9,800 across England.

Labour has said clearing cancer backlogs and improving survival rates through early diagnosis was a core part of its mission.

Andrew Gwynne MP, the shadow public health minister, said: “Receiving fast and quality cancer care should not depend on your postcode.

“Thirteen years of Conservative mismanagement of the NHS has left the health service unable to be there for too many people when they need it.

Daisy Cooper, the Lib Dem health and social care spokesperson, called on the government to “provide the funding that our emergency services need to keep ambulances on the road”.

She said: “Patients with life-threatening injuries risk being left stranded waiting in pain for an ambulance due to the Conservatives’ mismanagement and neglect of our health services.”
