Jowell’s battle for better care to be broadcast
Tessa jowell’ s battle to improve care for cancer patients in her final days as she was dying from a brain tumour is to be shown on television.
Behind the scenes footage recorded in April and early May with the former culture secretary, a driving force behind the 2012 Olympics, will be included in a Panorama episode to be broadcast on Monday.
Baroness Jowell, who served as a minister under Tony Blair, died at the age of 70 on 12 May after being diagnosed with the brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme a year previously.
Panorama was given behind the scenes access to the peer’s family as she used the House of Lords as a platform to discuss her condition.
