title: Give cancer service framework time to work.
abstract: It is fairly obvious that cancer initiatives in the NHS cancer plan will have an impact on other services, but this doesn't have to be a negative one. Some are concerned that the two-week wait from GP to consultation could lead to longer waiting times for those without a malignancy. But could the funding for this and similar initiatives enhance the speed of diagnosis for everyone?
