Re: Crisis in the NHS
Lord Lansley, the former Conservative health secretary believes health cuts meant his cancer was missed.

He blamed the Treasury for “wrongly” thwarting a screening programme called Bowelscope that he introduced in 2010. Lord Lansley launched the programme for men from the age of 55 in 2010, while health secretary in David Cameron’s government. It was due to run nationwide by 2016.

As health secretary, the 61-year-old helped launch the “bowelscope” screening programme for people over 54, but governments cuts, a lack of endoscopists and problems with IT systems have hampered the system’s delivery, currently only available to around half of the population, Lansley told the Daily Telegraph.
