Lodged by Pam Gosal Standard Motion 26 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Golden Jubilee National Hospital, in Clydebank, on successfully diagnosing 2,000 patients with pioneering Pillcam Colon Capsule Endoscopy (CCE); understands that, once swallowed, the pill-like camera can take 50,000 photos, is painless and non-invasive, and that the photos are then transmitted to a waist belt for review; commends consultant colorectal surgeon, Professor Angus Watson, and his team for creating what it sees as a cutting-edge, fast and effective diagnostic procedure, and acknowledges that bowel cancer is Scotland’s third most common cancer and is treatable and curable if diagnosed early.
