Scottish Parliament Elections 2026
In May 2026 people across Scotland will go to the polls to elect 129 Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) to form the next Scottish Government.
Delivering a revolution in cancer care
Cancer care in Scotland is at a critical moment. We are three years into a ten-year cancer strategy but have seen little change and even less delivery.
At Macmillan, we believe these elections must be a turning point.
The next Scottish Government must take urgent action to deliver on the Cancer Strategy. They must be bolder and move faster to ensure everyone can access the best treatment and care.
Macmillan's manifesto and four urgent priorities
Working in partnership with people affected by cancer across Scotland, our manifesto for the 2026 elections sets our four urgent priorities for building a fairer, sustainable future for cancer care in Scotland.
Bold action to tackle inequities in cancer care
Clear steps to address unwarranted variation in treatment and care
A revolution in cancer data and digital infrastructure
Renewed commitment to delivering person-centred care
Our manifesto
Our manifesto was developed with people affected by cancer from across Scotland.
