Great another thing for the govt to not fund. We can't even get proper ED wait times sorted.

lung cancer screening would save lives but instead we spend millions on cycle lanes nobody uses 🚴

Alex Rivera2026-07-22T21:07:19.000Z

here mate. Lost my dad to it. Needs to be done.

Taylor Wright2026-07-22T20:58:19.000Z

My uncle died of lung cancer because it was caught too late. Please fund this.

River Cole2026-07-22T21:12:19.000Z

Yeah nah get stuffed. More tax money down the drain. Let people make their own choices.

Morgan Lee2026-07-22T21:29:19.000Z

mate you're part of the problem. Prevention is cheaper than treatment.

Heartbreaking that we have to beg for this. Should be a no-brainer.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-22T22:56:19.000Z

Exactly. National or Labour won't give a toss as usual.

Aria Wilson2026-07-22T22:26:19.000Z

ffs we spend billions on tax cuts for landlords but can't fund something that actually saves lives

Hayden Kelly2026-07-22T23:13:19.000Z
