Dr Arthur, who has served as Labour MP for Edinburgh South West since 2024, has since weighed in on the discussion, as he promoted the Rare Cancers Bill at Westminster as a Private Members Bill.
On this, Dr Arthur said: “I do hope that ultimately it will drive the change that we need.
One of the things the Act did was it forces the government to appoint someone to oversee research in the rare cancer space, and rare cancers include brain tumours.
On the communication between himself, Goodburn and Prime Minister Burnham so far, Dr Arthur added: “We’re in the process.
“The Act asks that all cancer trials go in a single database and that all rare cancer patients go in a separate database.
