PROSTATE CANCER COUNTDOWN TO EQUALITY

That this House notes that prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in men and that its incidence is set to rise still further; further notes that the deaths from prostate cancer have remained relatively stable at approximately 10,000 per year; recognises that progress has been made in improving prostate cancer services but that significant inequalities remain in awareness, quality of services, patient experience and patient outcomes; welcomes the Prostate Cancer Charter for Action's new policy calls which are intended to tackle these inequalities; and urges the Government to take immediate action to implement them.
