Gynaecological cancers: Panel 4
From your answers, you seem, and quite rightly so in some cases, to be putting a lot of emphasis on the patient here, but, obviously, patients aren't medically trained, are they? And, like I say again, we're a glass half full generally, naturally; we like to…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 3
I think, essentially, what I'm asking is if somebody's in north Wales, mid Wales, west Wales, south Wales, wherever they live, is that same access to treatment there, broadly of the same level across Wales, or are there higher rates and more successful rates…
