Dad dies days after getting delayed scan results

Available for over a year

A Shrewsbury family has called for faster NHS test results, after a father waited three months for the outcome of a cancer scan which finally arrived five days before he died. Pete Vagg was receiving chemotherapy at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, unaware his treatment wasn't working and that palliative care might have been an option.
