Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jonathan Edwards (Independent (affiliation)), on Monday, 16 October 2023, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 7 members in total.


Breast cancer screening and entitlement to paid leave

That this House notes that all four UK governments offer breast cancer screening to women aged 50 to 70 every three years; supports the policy as an important preventative health care strategy; calls for employment law to be amended to remove barriers to women undertaking appointments by ensuring that women attending screening appointments do not lose pay and entitlements for doing so; and commends the work of the JG HR Pledge campaign for raising awareness and for encouraging employers to pledge to support their employees in attending regular screening appointments.
