Fund an information campaign for GPs on the 2 prostate cancer referral routes

Background

We want the Government to fund an NHS information campaign that raises awareness amongst GPs and instructs them to tell patients of suspected prostate cancer about the two referral routes (NICE & PCRMP routes).

Additional details

We believe that there have been some instances where GPs are not informed about the PCRMP referral route because only the NICE standards are being advised, leading to a lack of awareness amongst GPs about the two routes. We believe the lack of information being given to some GPs is leading to some men not being properly assessed or referred, which may lead to late diagnosis and limits possible treatment.
