Three new NHS policies part of move away from targets, says Brown
The Prime Minister and the Health Secretary announced three new policies for the NHS at the Prime Minister's monthly press conference.
Gordon Brown and Andy Burnham announced a free health check to all those over 45, the right to see a cancer specialist within two weeks of diagnosis, and the right to treatment of cancer within eighteen weeks.
"It is part of a move away from a target-led approach", said Mr Brown.
Mr Burnham pledged that that "patients will receive a standard of care, regardless of who they are and where they live".
He added: "We're seeking views for a legal right for people to choose to die at home".
