That this House recognises the ongoing campaign by St Neots resident Dave Young to encourage hundreds of local men to take a PSA test to screen for prostate cancer; celebrates his recent record-breaking event which saw 122 men being tested in one day; supports him in his determination to persuade the Government to widen routine screening for at-risk men; calls on the Government to ensure greater, independent scrutiny of the modelling undertaken when deciding to reject wider screening earlier this year, and to provide a timetable for potential reconsideration; and wishes those men diagnosed with prostate cancer as a result of Dave’s screening events the very best in their treatment journey.
This this House celebrates the 35th anniversary of the foundation of Disability Information Services Hub, known as DISH; recognises the outstanding work it does across Huntingdonshire, Fenland and South Cambridgeshire providing support and advice to disabled and older people and their carers to access the benefits and support to which they are entitled; wishes DISH the very best for the coming years in the important work it does; and calls on the Government and councils to recognise the importance of smaller charities in relieving the pressure on local services and ensure they receive the funding they need.
That this House welcomes the opening of the Bayeux Tapestry to the public at the British Museum, one of the world's most famous and celebrated works of art; notes that it was created by English women, whose individual names and identities were never recorded; further notes that despite its fame, popular and historical attention has repeatedly returned to its male patrons rather than to the women whose skill and artistry produced it; celebrates those unknown women, whose work has endured for almost a thousand years and continues to delight and inspire all who see it; and calls on the Government to consider what more can be done to ensure that women's historic contributions to art, culture and history are properly recognised, researched and celebrated.
