Labour — Edinburgh South West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 October 2026

Debate

Prostate Cancer Screening

Contribution

I agree and we have to be honest that this is not an issue unique to prostate cancer. With so many cancers, members of the black and ethnic minority community are much more likely to be diagnosed in accident and emergency, and that never leads to a good outcome. Screening will not end deaths from prostate cancer completely, but it is the right way forward to minimise deaths from prostate cancer, and I think that that is something we are all agreed on today.
