First Minister, Pancreatic Cancer UK has said it's

'disappointing to see the Welsh Government refusing to acknowledge the fact that pancreatic cancer is a cancer emergency when other UK Governments have accepted the need to act faster when there is a clinical need'.

Now, I do welcome what you've just said, because it does seem quite a change in emphasis in terms of rapid access to surgery, but it's a general approach that we need, because this is a relatively common cancer and the prognosis remains really very disappointing, whereas, in the last 40 years, many other common cancers have increased the survival time and the chance, indeed, of going into permanent remission. That's what we need, and I do hope that this is the first step you're making to really focus on pancreatic cancer so that it is brought to the same sort of level that we have, in fairness, achieved for other common cancers.
