Robotic Surgery For Kidney Cancer Or Bladder Cancer Patients
EDM number 552 in 2014-15, proposed by Neil Carmichael on 26/11/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases and Health services.
That this House believes that all cancer patients deserve the most appropriate treatment through the NHS; expresses concern about the proposed clinical commissioning policy for kidney and bladder cancer from NHS England which proposes to stop altogether robotic-assisted surgical treatments for patients with bladder and kidney cancer; notes that awareness of bladder and kidney cancer is low and that the conditions need more research; recognises that a proven treatment operation has been available for some time and is concerned that the cessation of these services will limit treatment options for patients; and calls on NHS England to look again at its draft commissioning policies and listen carefully to responses received through a public consultation.
This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
