Prostate Cancer Awareness Week

EDM number 840 in 2004-05, proposed by Howard Stoate on 07/03/2005.

That this House congratulates the Prostate Cancer Charity, the largest voluntary organisation focused on prostate health, for organising Prostate Cancer Awareness Week which is running from 21st to 27th March; welcomes the Charity's collaborative approach, involving many prostate cancer support groups, health care professionals, NHS units, schools and companies from across the UK; notes the Prostate Cancer Charity's innovative `beer mat' campaign aiming to raise awareness of prostate cancer issues through public houses in Liverpool, Bristol, Bradford, Birmingham and Glasgow; further notes the importance of this work given that nearly 90 per cent. of men do not know what the prostate gland does; and welcomes the Prostate Cancer Charity's range of high quality website, printed and helpline information resources.

This motion has been signed by a total of 102 MPs.
