Motion Text

That this House notes that ovarian cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women, with low survival rates that have changed little in 20 years; welcomes the efforts of Ovarian Cancer Action to ensure that the voices of women with ovarian cancer are heard as the Cancer Reform Strategy is drafted; urges further efforts to be made to increase awareness of risk factors and persistent and frequent symptoms, particularly amongst high risk groups; and wishes Ovarian Cancer Action well for the Turning up the Volume parliamentary reception on 16th July.
