WORLD KIDNEY DAY 2006

That this House supports World Kidney Day on 9th March 2006, held to raise awareness of the significant increase in the incidence of kidney disease; recognises the importance of early detection and prevention in tackling chronic kidney disease, particularly among at risk groups such as those with diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and those from ethnic minorities; congratulates the Peterborough-based Kidney Research UK's ABLE programme, which targets South Asian and Afro-Caribbean communities by working with them to identify and prevent kidney disease through better awareness and education; notes that more funding is required for renal research; and calls on the Government to make sure effective assessment, education and treatment programmes are in place to promote early detection and prevention, as set out in the markers of good practice for Part II of the Renal National Service Framework, which could reduce kidney failure by up to 50 per cent.
