£10 million boost to cancer services in Scotland

The money will be distributed in a bit to reduce waiting times

Cancer services in Scotland will receive £10 million to help improve waiting times for patients.

The money will be shared among the health boards and will be used to boost the number of operations available, create extra clinics, and upskill new staff.

It comes as the latest figures show people being referred with urgent suspicion of cancer are waiting longer than the 62 day target for their first treatment.
