That this House is concerned that a new report by the Prostate Cancer Charter for Action has revealed significant geographical inequalities in the provision of clinical nurse specialists; notes that the average caseload for prostate cancer clinical nurse specialists is more than double that for breast nurses; further notes that men with prostate cancer report a significantly worse experience of their treatment and care than patients with other cancers; believes that increasing the provision of clinical nurse specialists will make a major contribution to improving the quality of experience reported by men with prostate cancer; and urges the Government to implement the Charter's 18 point action plan on clinical nurse specialists as a priority.

This motion has been signed by a total of 64 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
