New Vision For Cancer Document
EDM number 1903 in 2005-06, proposed by Ian Gibson on 27/03/2006.
That this House supports the launch of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cancer's New Vision for Cancer which can be seen at www.appg-cancer.org.uk; notes that improvements in cancer care have been realised thanks to recent increases in funding and to the dedicated work of NHS staff; nevertheless regrets that postcode prescribing remains a concern and that the UK lags behind other European countries when it comes to access to new cancer treatments; believes that a new, comprehensive, cross-departmental cancer strategy is urgently needed to bridge the gap between health and social care, and which will set enforceable national standards and entitlements to cover the entire patient journey; further believes that a New Vision for Cancer should educate professionals and the public, improve prevention diagnosis and treatment, and facilitate research into genetics, and the causes of, and treatments for cancer; and urges the Government to advance health policy to ensure this Vision becomes a reality.
This motion has been signed by a total of 96 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
