Fund a screening program for men to detect Prostate Cancer

Closed 766 signatures

What the petition asks

In the UK, about 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime, and about 1 in 4 Black men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime. It affects a large proportion of men so we think the Government should provide funding for a national screening programme.
