Cancer care. Still no sign of winning tickets in cancer care lottery.

Postcode prescribing is still a reality in cancer services, says a public accounts committee report.

The report calls for a deadline to be imposed for stopping variations in drug prescribing as well as a timetable for implementing NICE guidelines.
