Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to:
• introduce mandatory clinical standards to ensure that urgent paediatric cancer referrals are subject to the same maximum wait times as adult referrals
• require clear accountability and follow-up where a paediatric cancer referral is downgraded or delayed
• fund training and update guidelines to enable GPs and clinicians to recognise and escalate signs of cancer in children as promptly as they would in adult cases
• undertake a formal review into paediatric diagnostic delays in Scotland, to identify systemic failures and implement change.
