Launch Of The United Kingdom Lung Cancer Coalition

EDM number 937 in 2005-06, proposed by Ian Gibson on 02/11/2005.

That this House notes that lung cancer is the UK's largest cancer killer, resulting in over 36,000 deaths every year; further notes that the disease affects non-smokers as well as smokers; is concerned that a patient's chances of survival can vary by up to four times depending on where they live and the treatment that they are given; congratulates the United Kingdom Lung Cancer Coalition on the launch of its challenge to double five-year patient survival by 2015; and calls on the Government to prioritise improvements in lung cancer awareness, research and treatment so that this achievable challenge can be met.

This motion has been signed by a total of 100 MPs.
