Health Minister Andrew Little hints at more funding for cancer, but makes no promises

Cancer Society s chief medical officer Chris Jackson says more help is still needed. Māori are approximately 20 per cent more likely to develop cancer than non-Māori and twice as likely to die from cancer This disparity is seen in all the “common” cancers, and is particularly prevalent with breast, liver, lung, pancreatic and stomach cancers. Little conceded that, in general, the cancer care available in New Zealand lagged behind what was available in Australia. “We are behind Australia, we know that, the report says that,” Little said. Health advocates said the report showed the need for continued Government support for cancer care, particularly since addressing cancer was put on hold while the health system focused on the Covid-19 pandemic.
