Lung Cancer Awareness Month 2010
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the designation of November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month; notes that lung cancer remains Scotland’s leading cause of cancer death with just over 4,000 deaths each year; considers that, in order to decrease lung cancer mortality, increased investment in lung cancer research is needed, including research into improving early detection; commends the work of the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation in raising awareness and researching earlier diagnosis, and calls on the Scottish Government to continue to support work raising awareness about the early detection and prevention of Scotland’s biggest killer cancer.
