Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest type of common cancer, killing more than half of those diagnosed in England within three months.

Under this Government we have seen NHS waiting lists go up, not down. What is the Minister doing to ensure that people with pancreatic cancer are seen, diagnosed and treated quickly?
