This week on the podcast the HSJ team discuss government plans to invest a reported £100bn to expand covid testing, amid thousands of people being denied potentially life-saving cancer screening during the pandemic’s peak - according to new statistics. We ask: Could the £100bn be better spent working through the cancer backlog?
We also discuss confidential documents - accidentally published - which reveal one clinical commissioning group’s modelling for a second peak and the results of the latest ‘HSJ100’ power-list.
