Simeon Brown: Health Minister on the new reports indicating cancer diagnosis numbers set to skyrocket

View descriptionShare

The Health Minister says predictions cancer diagnoses will increase isn't cause for panic. 

A new report has found the number's likely to double in the next two decades. 

Simeon Brown says much of that will be down to the ageing population and general population growth.

He says that should still prompt Government action. 

"We have to continue to invest, to ensure that we have more access to cancer treatments, cancer medicines, diagnoses - all of the things that this report has highlighted."
