Reducing Breast Cancer Referral Waiting Times (EDM726)

Reducing Breast Cancer Referral Waiting Times

EDM number 726 in 2003-04, proposed by Anne Campbell on 01/03/2004.

That this House notes that breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK with over 40,000 women and around 300 men diagnosed with the disease every year; welcomes the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Left in the Dark report and campaign focusing on the referral system for women and men with breast cancer; is delighted that 98 per cent. of those referred urgently now see a specialist within two weeks; is concerned that every year 10,000 women are subsequently diagnosed with breast cancer after being routinely referred and wait up to 17 weeks for an appointment with a specialist; acknowledges Breakthrough's research which reveals that women want to be seen by a breast specialist as soon as possible and certainly no longer than two weeks after referral; and urges Ministers to consider a flexible approach to targets which reward progress towards shorter waiting times for everyone referred with breast problems.

This motion has been signed by a total of 89 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
