ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

Early day motion 199, tabled 15 January 2001 by Howard Stoate (Labour). Signed by 31 members.

That this House notes with concern that one in 10 men are affected by erectile dysfunction, a condition which often causes low self-esteem, depression and serious relationship problems and can be symptomatic of an underlying but undetected health problem such as heart disease or diabetes; congratulates the Men's Health Forum and the Impotence Association on their campaign to increase awareness of this condition and their efforts to provide information and support to sufferers; and calls on the Government to support the work of the Men's Health Forum and the Impotence Association and take steps to encourage more suffers to visit their general practitioner.
