title: Cancer care. Still no sign of winning tickets in cancer care lottery.
abstract: Postcode prescribing is still a reality in cancer services, says a public accounts committee report. Critics claim the large number of small primary care trusts is not a good model for commissioning and that money should be 'fast-tracked' through cancer networks. The report calls for a deadline to be imposed for stopping variations in drug prescribing as well as a timetable for implementing NICE guidelines.
