Recommencing normal hospital treatment for cancer patients
That as soon as is safely possible the NHS should allow those patients already being under investigation, where their treatment had been suspended due to the Covid-19 outbreak, to be seen again as soon as possible.
We are repeatedly told that the NHS is open for business, but for those already in the system it is effectively closed.

Why the contribution is important
In most cases it is quite simply a matter of life and death if the treatment is not started up again soon.

This can happen if the newly available antibody test is used wisely to enable conventional NHS services to be initially staffed by those who are confirmed to have had COVID-19 and, therefore, unlikely to spread or catch the disease, with priority given to those in most clinical need such as cancer patients and anyone needing urgent operations.
I have made a wider posting about using the antibody test for other categories of worker once the NHS is up and running again.
