Dr Al Pinkerton

Liberal Democrat — Surrey Heath

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 October 2026

Debate

Prostate Cancer Screening

Contribution

Prostate Cancer UK has identified that men from deprived areas are 29% more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer only at a point after the cancer has already spread, which touches exactly on the point that the hon. Member is making. Does he agree that as well as having more sensitive diagnostic tests, we must make sure that the people who are most at risk can access those tests?
