That this House supports Breast Cancer Care and the Royal College of Nursing's Time to Care report and campaign to improve access to breast care nurses for people affected by breast cancer; agrees that breast care nurses represent best practice in cancer care and provide an invaluable service; is concerned at the report's findings that there is a growing shortage of breast care nurses in the UK; is further concerned that increasing demands on time and the growth in the number of breast cancer patients are making it progressively more difficult for breast care nurses to give patients the information and support that they need; and calls on the Government urgently to review the current number of breast care nurses and to establish a recruitment and retention strategy to ensure that there are sufficient breast care nurses for the future.

That this House notes the severe illness and deaths of haemophiliacs and some partners from HIV and hepatitis C, caused by the use of contaminated blood products and the potential for future deaths from vCJD; and supports the Haemophilia Society in its calls for an independent public inquiry into the contamination of haemophilia treatment since the 1970s, in particular the failure to make the UK self-sufficient in blood products, the failure in some parts of the UK to make a timely switch to virally inactivated treatment when this became available from 1985 and the failure to make timely provision of genetically-engineered recombinant Factor VIII and IX for all haemophiliacs.

That this House agrees with the Minister of State for Trade and Investment that 'business is not just about jobs, wealth creation and delivering the goods and services ... it is also critical to achieving our environmental and social objectives' (Official Report, 30th January, column 498); believes that for business to play this role major companies need to measure, manage and report on their environmental and social impacts; notes with concern that, despite the Prime Minister's challenge to the top 350 UK companies that they should produce social and environmental reports by the end of 2001, less than half are doing so; believes this demonstrates that the voluntary approach has failed; regrets that the Performance of Companies and Government Departments (Reporting) Bill, introduced to this House by the honourable Member for Rugby and Kenilworth with cross-party support, did not receive a Second Reading; and urges Ministers either to support this Bill when it returns to the House or to bring forward the regulations promised during the debate on the Bill before the end of this session.

That this House is concerned at the growing evidence of obesity and poor diet amongst young people; recognises the important role school meals can play in encouraging healthy eating and providing vital nutrients; believes that the current nutritional guidelines, together with the pricing policies adopted by many schools and the low value of school meals vouchers, do not encourage students to eat healthily; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to carry out an urgent review of school meals provision with a view to introducing policies which recognise that good school meals play a vital role both in health and educational attainment.

That this House notes that approximately one in 25,000 births to parents of average heights is of a baby of restricted growth; that such babies are sometimes rejected by their parents because of the stigma associated with the disability; that children and adults of restricted growth and their families are subjected to a constant media barrage of thoughtless discrimination, comment and misplaced jokes via the media, the wider public and some professionals; notes the excellent work of the Restricted Growth Association and the Dwarf Athletics Association UK; and calls on those with influence in the media, in education and in the medical profession to present positive images of those with restricted growth, and to challenge the stereotypes associated with the conditions.

That this House welcomes the recommendation of the Chief Medical Officer for England that an action plan should be in place within three months of completion of the National Audit of Epilepsy-related death to cut the level of preventable epilepsy-related death; notes that every year 1,000 people, mostly young adults, due because of epilepsy, that most deaths are seizure-related, and that while 70 per cent. of people with epilepsy have the potential to become seizure-free, five government reports since 1953 show that epilepsy management in the UK is sub-optimal; and calls on the Government to debate this issue and take necessary action.
