That this House welcomes the Prime Minister's statement that preventing ill health is a priority for the Government and notes the opportunity that now exists to prevent future generations suffering from a range of conditions, in addition to cervical cancer, caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV); further notes that genital warts is caused by HPV types six and 11 and is a significant burden on sexual health services costing the NHS an estimated £22.5 million per year and causing misery for over 80,000 men and women per annum who receive a new diagnosis, and many others who require repeat treatment; and calls for support for the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV, the Terrence Higgins Trust, the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare and the Family Planning Association's request that the Government does not miss the opportunity that now exists and acts to prevent both genital warts and cervical cancer by HPV immunisation.
This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
