A new fund to pay for innovative cancer drugs, surgery and radiotherapy would be set up if Labour comes to power.

It would replace the Cancer Drugs Fund in England - a key part of David Cameron's 2010 election campaign - when it runs out in 2016.

Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said he wanted "the best health service in the world" for cancer.

The Conservatives said it was an "unfunded promise" giving "false hope" to patients.

A Conservative source said that as long as David Cameron remained PM the cancer drug fund would continue to be funded.
