The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the launch of the integrated cancer support service across Forth Valley that is being delivered by Macmillan Cancer Support in partnership with NHS Forth Valley and Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership; recognises that the service combines clinical care with practical, emotional and financial support through the Improving the Cancer Journey approach; understands that around 100 people are diagnosed with cancer each day in Scotland and that many experience significant non-medical impacts following diagnosis; acknowledges the importance of early holistic needs assessment and personalised care planning in supporting wellbeing, independence and recovery, and calls on continued efforts to ensure that all people diagnosed with cancer across Scotland are able to access such holistic support alongside treatment, regardless of where they live.
