Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 February 2026

Debate

National Cancer Plan

Contribution

I thank the Minister for this excellent plan. In 1989, my wonderful mother Margaret passed away from bowel cancer. She died about six weeks after she was diagnosed. She had not wanted to go to her GP because she did not want to be a burden on the already overstretched NHS. Will the Minister join me in encouraging anyone who fears that they might have bowel cancer to see their GP, and will she provide assurances to those people regarding screening and early diagnosis for bowel cancer?
