PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CERVICAL CANCER (11 October 2005)
Motion Details
That this House congratulates the research scientists who discovered the first vaccine proven to prevent the development of cervical cancer in women; notes that cervical cancer claims the lives of 1,000 women each year in the UK and leads to early hysterectomies, thus ending women's hopes of having children; recognises that the vaccine has the potential over time to end the burden of cervical smears, colposcopies and related treatment; and looks forward to the early availability of the first vaccine against the causes of cancer.
