Manifesto for the 2019 General Election
Last modified: 24 May 2025, 14:14
We want to see the Government to commit to reducing the impact of cancer. With a new Government in place, there is an opportunity to drive up the UK’s survival rates to be among the best in the world. With 1 in 2 people in the UK diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime, this could improve millions of lives and touch every family in the country.
#OneCancerVoice
We have joined forces with 28 other cancer charities to launch #OneCancerVoice. A manifesto that has been developed on behalf of people with cancer, providing solutions for some of the biggest issues that the next Government will face. We’re calling on the Government to drive up the UK’s cancer survival to be among the best in the world and act to provide the best possible prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care for cancer.
To achieve this ambition, we need to:
- Put the right staff in place
- Diagnose cancer earlier
- Ensure people living with cancer have access to the appropriate treatment and psychological support
- Support people living with cancer beyond their treatment
- Preserve the UK’s status as a world-leader in cancer research
- Prevent people from developing cancer
Our manifesto for cervical cancer
To further focus on the specific needs of those affected by cervical cancer, and to help us reach the day where it is a disease of the past, we have also released a manifesto for cervical cancer.
We are calling on the Government to:
- Develop an action plan to eliminate cervical cancer
- Implement the recommendations set out in the Mike Richards Review of National Adult Screening Programmes
- Improve outcomes for those living with the long term effects of cervical cancer treatment
- Commit to ensuring the cancer workforce is equipped to meet the needs of the current and future cancer population
