Motion Text

That this House notes the statistics contained in the Northern Ireland Cancer Registry showing that in the last 10 years the number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer has increased by almost 50 per cent.; recognises that hospitals and clinics dealing with this type of cancer are doing so against a traditional reluctance among males to use their services; and calls upon all hon. Members to offer assistance in promotional activities that demonstrate the utter folly of such attitudes regarding male health.
