INTERNATIONAL CHILDHOOD CANCER DAY

Early day motion 713, tabled 11 February 2003 by Liam Fox (Conservative). Signed by 61 members.

That this House notes the importance of International Childhood Cancer Day and praises Cancer Research UK for raising awareness of this significant health problem in children; is concerned that an estimated quarter of a million children worldwide are diagnosed with cancer each year but that four out of five are either not diagnosed or are denied the life-saving treatment they need; wholeheartedly supports International Childhood Cancer Day on Saturday 15th February; and hopes that, through this day and the efforts and treatment of Cancer Research UK, world-wide public awareness regarding the urgent need for research into this disease will be raised, so that survival rates will improve.
