The motion
That this House commends the tireless work of the Durham District Prostate Cancer Group in their mission to raise awareness of prostate cancer and provide vital support to men and their families across County Durham; welcomes their pioneering partnership with the Cancer Screening Trust, which has moved beyond awareness-raising into the provision of life-saving clinical interventions; highlights the success of their recent events at Brandon Community Hall, where local men were provided with access to PSA blood tests and essential follow-up support; acknowledges that this initiative represents a significant milestone, being a first for both the Brandon community and County Durham; recognises that such grassroots, community-based screening models are essential for reaching men who may otherwise face barriers to early detection; thanks the Durham District Prostate Cancer Group for their dedication to public health; and wishes the group every success as they seek to expand this vital screening programme across the region in the future.
