Make Childhood Cancer Research and Awareness a National Priority

I urge the Prime Minister and Government to take leadership roles by making childhood cancer research a national priority in the budget. In addition, I ask the Prime Minister to require the Secretary of State for Health to develop and implement a national plan for the advancement of childhood cancer research across all appropriate functions of the Department. I also want priority given to those cancer types which have poor survival rates and least amount of progress made over the last 20 years. I also want the government to work with charities to run public awareness campaigns for all cancer types starting by the inclusion into the National Awareness & Early Diagnosis Initiative (NAEDI) Public Symptoms Awareness Campaign.
