Charlotte Fairall criticized the government's decision to pause the Children and Young People's Cancer Taskforce, emphasizing the urgent need to advocate for children's cancer care and treatment.
Fairall expressed her frustration, stating, 'I think it's a complete let-down to these children who don't get a voice and don't get a say in any of this work.' This shows her concern for children affected by cancer.
She mentioned the emotional timing of the announcement, expressing that September, being the month of her daughter's diagnosis and subsequent death, was particularly painful for her family.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting stated the taskforce's pause was to reassess the best ways to proceed, stressing he aimed to avoid creating ineffective taskforces that don't lead to action.
