INTERNATIONAL CHILDHOOD CANCER DAY 15TH FEBRUARY 2004

That this House supports International Childhood Cancer Day and its aims of raising global awareness for cancers that affect children while also raising money for research; notes that in developed countries more than 70 per cent. of children with cancer survive after diagnosis, but that only one in five of the world's children have access to the best medical care; further notes that the world's overall survival rate for children's cancer is as low as 20 per cent.; and calls on the Government fully to support this important initiative.
