Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Liam Fox (Conservative), on Thursday, 30 January 2003, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 63 members in total.
PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS
That this House notes that prostate cancer causes around 10,000 deaths annually in the United Kingdom and believes that the number of deaths could be reduced if men knew more about the disease and sought help at an early stage; welcomes the initiative of the major prostate cancer charities and organisations in launching its Prostate Cancer Charter for Action; recognises that much more could be done by the Government to increase research when it comes to this most common form of male cancer; and calls on the Government to honour its commitment made in the NHS prostate cancer programme of 2000 to instigate a public awareness programme as soon as possible.
