Sickle Cell Awareness Month (No. 2)

EDM number 2570 in 2005-06, proposed by Diane Abbott on 13/07/2006.

That this House applauds the start of Sickle Cell Awareness Month and congratulates the Sickle Cell Society and the NHS Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia Screening programme on the variety of events they are running across the UK; notes that despite sickle cell being one of the most common inherited genetic disorders, awareness of the problem remains low; further notes that the highest frequency is among those of African Caribbean descent but that all people are susceptible; and calls on the Government to ensure that 100 per cent. of babies are offered screening as soon as possible, rigorously to raise awareness amongst the public, and to provide adequate support for those seeking a cure.

This motion has been signed by a total of 54 MPs.
