Abstract

Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister of UK, will promise and assure that patients will be provided with the results of their diagnostic tests for cancer within a week of their visiting their GP or consultant by 2014. The move will give nurses a more proactive role as it will be their job to conduct many of the diagnostic tests.
