Gower Assembly Member, Rebecca Evans AM, has shown her support for NHS workers in Wales who diagnose, treat and care for people affected by cancer at a Cancer Research UK event in Cardiff Bay. 

The event marked the 70th birthday of the NHS and the contribution made by doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals across the field of cancer. 

Every year, over 19,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in Wales and as the population grows and ages, that number is only set to rise.

Rebecca Evans AM said: “Everyone will be affected by cancer in some way. Around half  of us will be diagnosed in our lifetimes. 
 
“We all want a world-class service where people are given every opportunity to survive this devastating disease, for it to be diagnosed early and for patients to receive the best treatment possible. That’s why I’m backing Cancer Research UK’s call to stand shoulder to shoulder with the NHS against cancer.”
 
Andy Glyde, public affairs manager for Wales at Cancer Research UK, said: “By 2034, our ambition is for 3 in 4 people to survive their cancer, but advances in technology and treatment mean nothing if we don’t have the NHS staff to deliver them.

“That’s why the support of AM’s like Mrs Evans is so vitally important to help make Wales’ cancer services the best in the world.”
