NHS rolls out plans for cancer verdicts in just four weeks

NHS rolls out plans for cancer verdicts in just four weeks Patients will be told that they have cancer or given the all-clear four weeks after seeing their GP, under NHS plans.

Simon Stevens, the head of the health service in England, will roll out a 28-day target next year to speed up diagnosis times.
