Good Morning Everyone,

Today a report is being published that highlights the fact that in Scotland there are serious regional disparties in the provision of healthcare support for patients diagnosed with lung cancer.I have'nt yet read the report,but I gather Scotlands 5 year survivability record is amongst the worst in Europe.I was interviewed yesterday by a reporter from one of our major quality newspapers The Scotsman which is published today.I have attached the link below.
