DON'T postpone life dependent cancer appointments for Covid Booster target
Boris Johnson said today that in order to hit the new target for Covid Booster jabs, some appointments such as those for Cancer patients would need to be postponed.
A delay in treatment can massively affect the prognosis for those with aggressive/rare forms of Cancer. They need to be prioritised.
Do not undo the incredible work that the NHS have done to get up to date with Cancer appointments and treatment. Even a couple of weeks delay can have a devastating affect on someone's chances.

Changes to NHS operations to increase capacity to deliver the Covid-19 booster programme are an operational matter for the NHS, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament.
