Manuela Pertegella MP. with Doug Badger head of SWaPS.
After a very informative and broad-reaching meeting with members of the South Warwickshire Prostate Support Group (SWaPS) Manuela has raised the following early-day motion in the House of Commons further widening the awareness of early detection of prostate cancer. We thank her wholeheartedly for this support.
Early Day Motion: “Prostate Cancer Screening and Men’s Health Support”
“That this House acknowledges the vital work of the South Warwickshire Prostate Cancer Support Group (SWaPS) in raising awareness of prostate cancer and supporting those affected; recognises the urgent need for a National Prostate Cancer Screening Programme to improve early detection and save lives; calls for enhanced GP training on PSA testing to ensure timely and accurate diagnoses; stresses the importance of greater mental health resources for men and their families coping with a prostate cancer diagnosis; further supports the “Boys Need Bins” campaign, advocating for sanitary bins in male toilets across public and private venues to improve hygiene and dignity for those managing medical and personal needs; and urges the Government to take immediate action to implement these crucial reforms to improve men’s health and well-being across the UK.”
