Sickle Cell Disorders

EDM number 450 in 1996-97, proposed by Kate Hoey on 28/01/1997.

That this House welcomes the recently published report Sickle Cell Disorders in Greater London - A Needs Assessment of Screening and Care Services undertaken by the Department of Public Health Medicine, United Medical and Dental Schools, St. Thomas's Hospital; notes that although the report relates to Greater London the issues are also of concern to other major conurbations in the United Kingdom; is concerned that the estimated size of the affected population, 9,000 in 1996, is larger than previously estimated, that this group is very unevenly distributed amongst the five health authorities and that there has been no recognition of the subsequent need for resource allocation; further welcomes the report's call for more emphasis on community services and community education initiatives for health professionals, teachers, local authority staff and others to address the alarming lack of knowledge about sickle cell disorders; and calls on the Government to respond to this report and to seriously consider the important recommendations made.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
