Petition Fund cold capping for all chemotherapy patients where clinically appropriate
Access to cold capping during weekly chemotherapy should not depend on postcode, and whether or not a particular hospital can offer that treatment. All patients should be offered the choice where clinically suitable, ensuring fairness, dignity, and equal cancer care for all.
More details
The government should end the postcode lottery by making cold capping available to all patients undergoing weekly chemotherapy where clinically appropriate. This requires national guidance, guaranteed funding, and consistent implementation across all NHS trusts, so access is based on patient choice and medical suitability—not on their postcode.
