Consultant attacks NHS over Jade Goody cancer treatment ‘delay’

A HARLEY Street consultant who treated Jade Goody has attacked the NHS for allegedly failing to spot her cancer earlier, it was revealed.

Max Clifford, her friend and publicist, said Dr Ann Coxon, a doctor he introduced Goody to last year, had been “very angry” over an alleged failure to spot her illness earlier.

“Her doctor was very upset and very angry with the way the NHS looked after her and failed to diagnose the cancer that was growing for such a long time,” he said.

Dr Coxon will speak in the E4 documentary Jade: As Seen On TV to be broadcast tonight.

Goody, who died on Mother’s Day earlier this year, was given a diagnosis of cervical cancer while taking part in the Indian version of Celebrity Big Brother last August.
