Residents may recall that earlier in the year, I attended the launch of the Brain Tumour Research 2024 manifesto in Parliament, marking a significant step forward in this long-standing campaign. Sadly, I know there are families in the constituency who have been affected by this, and so I recognise the need for more to be done to improve survival and quality of life for those impacted. It is important to continue the conversation about what action can be taken to effect meaningful change and progression in this area.
This morning, I met with the team at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre in Northwood to discuss the complex treatment of brain tumours and cancer, and to hear some really important and strong suggestions for improvement, which I have promised to raise with my colleagues in the Government.
