FEMALE cancer sufferers said today they were disappointed by the Welsh government’s response to a Senedd health committee’s report on gynaecological cancer concerns.

The Welsh government’s response claimed that “the vast majority of those receiving cancer care for gynaecological cancer consistently report high levels of patient satisfaction with NHS services.”

Many of the women who had given evidence to the health and social care committee said they were surprised and disappointed with the response and said it did not represent their experience after their cancer concerns were repeatedly dismissed by professionals.
