The motion

That this House notes Lung Cancer Awareness Month taking place from 1 November to 30 November offering a month of activities and initiatives to promote lung health and cancer awareness; highlights that anyone with lungs can get lung cancer and notes that approximately 10% to 20% of people who develop lung cancer have never smoked; further notes that treatments for lung cancer are improving all the time and many people go on to live a normal life after treatment; and urges the general public to contact their GP should there be concern about coughing, breathlessness and unexplained weight loss understanding that finding it early can make all the difference.
