Closed Reassign the £100m pledged for Syrian refugees to fund NHS cancer treatments.

Closed on

The NHS has pulled funding for cancer treatments affecting 5,500 patients claiming that the drugs involved are not cost effective. However, the £100m overspend is the same as Mr Cameron has now pledged to donate to Syria, on top of the £920,000 million already handed to that country since 2011.
