The Presiding Officer:

The result of the division is: For 93, Against 0, Abstentions 16.

Motion agreed to.

That the Parliament acknowledges the progress made and the remaining challenges in implementing the cancer strategy; recognises that the £60 million investment is leading to many improvements to patient care; welcomes the development of managed clinical networks and the redesign of cancer services under way across the three regional cancer networks; supports an increased focus on patient experience and patient involvement, and looks forward to continuing change and innovation in order to reduce waiting times and improve the quality of care.

The Presiding Officer:

That concludes decision time. Members leaving the chamber should, as usual, do so with discretion, quickly and quietly.
