Mouth Cancer Awareness Week

EDM number 1883 in 2002-03, proposed by Doug Naysmith on 06/11/2003.

That this House notes that Mouth Cancer Awareness Week 2003, Watch Your Mouth, is from 9th to 15th November; congratulates the British Dental Health Foundation, the British Dental Association and other leading health organisations in publicising and hosting the Week; expresses deep concern that mouth cancer is now the fastest growing type of cancer, with the number of incidences rising by 17 per cent. in four years and with 1,700 deaths every year attributable to the disease; notes that smoking, chewing tobacco and drinking are the major risk factors associated with mouth cancer; further notes that early detection by a dentist is crucial in improving survival chances from 50 per cent. to nearer 90 per cent; calls on the Government to ensure that mouth cancer has a bigger priority in tobacco cessation and alcohol abuse public awareness programmes; and urges the Government to offer primary care trusts, local health boards and individual dentists increased provision for mouth cancer screening services, which is properly funded and not allowed to be used to pay off NHS debts.

This motion has been signed by a total of 84 MPs.
