Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:22 pm on 16 May 2018.
Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer, and I thank everyone who has contributed to this debate this afternoon. I am very pleased that we have had the opportunity to put this on the Assembly’s agenda this afternoon. A series of contributors from across the political parties have described very clearly the need to ensure an early diagnosis and the importance of raising awareness, the need to recognise and celebrate the excellence of our staff, who do everything they can within the NHS in this field, and have emphasised, of course, the key role that screening can play in tackling this cancer, one of the most cruel kinds of cancer, which takes more lives in Wales than almost any other cancer. But we all believe—and you have heard us today, Cabinet Secretary—that it is possible to do more.
