UK cancer suvival rates lower than in the 3rd world

[biotechpete 10]

Or how much goes to the NHS research and not to fund private companies who then charge the donors for the pills they produce.

 

I'm fairly sure that no charity money goes towards (big) private company research. Most NHS research is funded by pharma and the NIHR (direct from govt). The vast majority of charity money goes to universities and some univeristy hospitals in the form of research grants. CRUK have all the institutions they fund here:

let me know if you can see a pharma company there, I can't!

 

Most charities like CRUK, BHF etc spend at least 80% of what they raise directly on research.

UK cancer survival rates are lower than those in the third world. http://web.orange.co.uk/article/news/uk_cancer_survival_rates_below_third_world

 

I always suspected the NHS was being deliberately being run down by the tories ahead of privatisation, but things are going too far. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-30201023

 

What's your next ludicrous anti government rant going to be?

 

How about:

 

"UK no better at immortality than crappy slum countries"

 

:hihi:

Did you do any research on the actual report in the Lancet Mecky?

 

I may have, why did you?

Yes..I at least know the dates that the data for the research came from... do you?

[Mecky 10]

The information for the study comes the years between 1995—2009, I think Labour governed the country for most of that time.

 

Where does it say any date pre 2010 in both of the articles I quoted?

Just when you think he cannot stoop to a new low he comes up with bile like this...

 

Have you got any sources for these accusation? Any proof? Or are you content to sit there and accuses doctors and nurses of dereliction of duty in order to further your blind ideological hatred?

[Mecky 10]

ooo the big men are here .... I'm so scared

Come on that's like asking if the Pope wears a funny hat. Mecky doesn't research anything.

Hardly surprising with all the cash that's been given to third world countries.

I don't believe for a minute cancer survival rates are lower in the UK than in the '3rd world' - an antiquated expression, by the way that I'm surprised the BBC is still using.

 

A lot of people in less developed countries that get cancer aren't diagnosed at all. They just die. Also a lot of people have already died of something else before they get the chance to get cancer in the first place.

Lung cancer kills 25% of all cancer sufferers.

 

And yet smoking tobacco is still legal. Incredible, isn't it?

Not really. It's a choice that we all should be able to make.
