(a) take action to improve five year lung cancer
survival rates in Wales;
(b) improve diagnostic services and speed up access to
diagnostic tests;
(c) deliver improvements to end of life care;

and preferences for end of life case can be identified, documented, reviewed,
respected and acted upon; and

palliative care services.
