That this House isconcerned that half of the 38,600 people diagnosed with bowel cancer every year in the UK will die from the condition but that bowel cancer is curable if detected early enough; welcomes the Government's announcements on bowel cancer, including the introduction of flexible sigmoidoscopy screening and local campaigns in England to improve public awareness of the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer; further welcomes the contribution made by the previous Government to improving earlier diagnosis but highlights the need for wider participation in bowel cancer screening to improve outcomes; and supports Beating Bowel Cancer's 1,2,3 campaign that seeks to increase the number of people taking part in the bowel cancer screening programme, which could save up to 1,279 lives every year in England.
This motion has been signed by a total of 79 MPs.
