Liberal Democrat — Bath

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2024

Debate

Breast Cancer: Younger Women

Contribution

I will come to that later in my speech, but I absolutely agree with the hon. Gentleman. We are here to make the case for earlier screening programmes for younger women, because it is becoming such an issue—the rates are increasing. It is because of Lucy’s struggle to get a diagnosis that she felt the need to speak up on behalf of the countless young people who would not question decisions made by medical professionals.
