Prime Minister David Cameron announces £400m of funding to keep the Cancer Drugs Fund in England running until 2016.

Ministers should do more to prepare for the impact of an ageing population while the public should plan for their old age, a group of charities warns.

Failing GP surgeries in England have been warned they face closure by the NHS's first chief inspector of GPs, Professor Steve Field.

Cancer patient Steve Evans told the BBC he welcomed a move to extend the Cancer Drugs Fund in England, saying "second-line" drugs had improved his quality of life, as well as helping him to live longer.
