Cancer Registration

EDM number 18 in 2000-01, proposed by Ian Gibson on 06/12/2000.

That this House shares the Cancer Research Campaign's concern that, as a result of the newly adopted Charter of Human Rights, doctors have been issued guidance by the General Medical Council not to report incidences of cancer and other diseases amongst their patients as a matter of course to their regional cancer registries unless they have first checked with the patient; is worried that this will result in an erosion of the Office of National Statistics registry of cancer; is very concerned that such an erosion of data about the incidence of cancer in the UK will undermine efforts of governments to target cancer black-spots, the ability to understand the causes and effects of cancer and ultimately undermine the crusade to find a cure for cancer; and calls upon the GMC to reissue guidelines to doctors which emphasise the need to collect cancer statistics as a matter of course.

This motion has been signed by a total of 59 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
