Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust welcomes the fact that Andrew Lansley MP, Secretary of State for Health, will lead a discussion about the future of brain tumour care when he attends a meeting of the All Party Parliamentary Brain Tumour Group on Monday 30th January.
Sarah Lindsell, Chief Executive, said: “I am delighted that the Secretary of State has confirmed that he will be attending the All Party Brain Tumour Group. This is an opportunity for members of the Brain Tumour Consortium, our member charities and clinicians at the sharp-end to get involved in a discussion around the issues raised in our manifesto such as the importance of early diagnosis, the importance of sharing best practice and the need for more research into brain tumours. When it comes to the fight against brain and CNS tumours there is always more to be done because the issue has such an impact on so many lives but it is encouraging the Secretary of State is committed to listening to the people who know most about it.”
