Dr Patrick Soon-Shiong, a physician, medical researcher and businessman, says the healthcare system in the US is an "uncoordinated system of care".

He urges the UK not to fall into the mistake of electronic paper records which are merely "large filing cabinets".

He talks about cancer and outlines that by 2030, the number of cancer patients will have increased from 2 million to 4 million in the UK. He says the five-year survival rate is the lowest in all of Europe. Meanwhile in the US, 65% of pancreatic cancer patients got the wrong treatment from 2001-6. He asks: how are we going to address this?
