Earlier this month I wrote about how a new report from the Teenage Cancer Trust highlighted that Surrey and Sussex is one of five Cancer Alliance areas where five- year cancer survival of 13-24 year olds improved significantly from 2001-05 to 2007-11.

While this is a step in the right direction there is no room for complacency.

This week I will be meeting with the charity to discuss what more can be done on a local and national level to improve patient outcomes further.
