Motion · S5M-21071 · 28 Feb 2020
Glasgow's Leading International Mesothelioma Research
The motion
That the Parliament notes the £5 million that Cancer Research UK has provided to the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Mesothelioma Team, which works in partnership with the University of Glasgow; notes that the condition is mainly caused by the inhalation of asbestos and usually appears decades later; understands that it is terminal and that most people survive no longer than one year after diagnosis; believes that Glasgow has the highest incidence of mesothelioma in the world; understands that this is due to the previous widespread use of asbestos in the city, notably in the shipbuilding industry, and sends its best wishes to the researchers with their work in aiming to achieve better outcomes for people with mesothelioma.
