CLOCK'S TICKING ON CANCER BACKLOG TIMEBOMB

BEHIND the SNP's tired slogans and spin, the truth is brutal - cancer patients are being left to wait, worry and suffer.

- 

One Scot waited 419 days just to start investigations for suspected prostate cancer.

Another waited 352 days with possible bowel cancer. That's not a backlog - that's abandonment.

While ministers boast, families count the days, the weeks, the months, praying the disease hasn't spread as the clock ticks on.
