Maggie Alexander, Director of Policy at Breakthrough Breast Cancer, stated: “We welcome the commitment within the NHS Constitution that by April 2010 patients will have the legal right to see a cancer specialist inside two weeks of being referred by their GP.
“We hope this won’t further delay the Government’s prior commitment for a maximum two week wait for all breast cancer patients by the end of the year. Females tell us waiting for a diagnosis is extremely distressing regardless of the outcome and Breakthrough would like up-to-date information on how long all breast cancer patients are currently waiting.”
