Cancer

A NEW stage in the British

Government's campaign against cancer will be reached shortly with the issue by the Ministry of Health of instruc. tions to Singapore authorities on the preparation of local schemes for treatment.........

It is estimated that the cam- paign will cost £700,000 a year in England, Scotland and Wales, of which local authorities will receive about half from the Treasury.

Within the next 11 months every

county council and county borough must submit to the Ministry schemes providing appropriate treatment for ull persons suffering from the disease. Since the passing of the Cancer Act, which m mokes such

provision compul sory, Ministry of

of Health experts have been drawing up a a guide for local authorities to ensure prompt action being taken on the legislation.

The new

service will involve 12 additional treatment centres, 1.000 more beds and about 350 consultation centres for

for diagnosis.
