I CANNOT believe that cancer patients may have to go on a long waiting list for treatment at one of the most renowned hospitals in the country because of lack of funds.
We have just spent billions of pounds on a war in Iraq, money that we will not see again, and yet people who need treatment urgently in order to be given a chance at life are having to wait because our government would rather spend money on wars than on the healthcare that we need.
It's about time Tony and his merry men took a good look at home instead of abroad.
