Categorised under the topic of Health services.

That this House congratulates The Prostate Cancer Charity on launching the Hampered by hormones campaign which aims to address the needs of men with prostate cancer receiving hormone therapy; notes that the side effects of hormone therapy can have a significant impact on men's lives; expresses concern that research undertaken by the charity shows that over half of men are receiving too little information and support to help them manage the side effects of hormone therapy and are not receiving the standard of care and support they are entitled to; calls on the Government to ensure the full implementation of guidance from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence relating to the care of men with prostate cancer; and further calls on the Government and the National Cancer Survivorship Initiative to review the charity's research findings and campaign recommendations and take action to improve the care of men living on hormone therapy.
