MACMILLAN CANCER RELIEF'S BETTER DEAL CAMPAIGN

EDM number 1877 in 2003-04, proposed by Ian Gibson on 04/11/2004.

That this House congratulates Macmillan Cancer Relief on the successful launch of its exciting new Better Deal campaign to get a better deal for people dealing with cancer, especially from the benefits system; notes that three-quarters of people surveyed by Macmillan who have had a cancer diagnosis say they suffered financially as a result; further notes that for some people affected by cancer, money worries are second only to pain as a cause of stress; welcomes Macmillan's resolve to champion these issues and campaign with people struggling to meet the unexpected extra costs resulting from the debilitating effects of treatment, including travel to hospital, hospital car parking and higher heating bills; supports Macmillan's calls for the Government to ensure every cancer patient is offered specialist benefits advice at diagnosis and to change the law to improve cancer patients' access to disability living allowance (DLA) and attendance allowance (AA); and calls on the Government to stop cancer affecting people's finances and to act urgently to ensure the DLA and AA schemes are fast, fit for purpose and fair for people dealing with cancer.

This motion has been signed by a total of 67 MPs.
