My most recent motion which is marked for debate: Motion Number: S4M-09302 Lodged By: Fiona McLeod Date Lodged: 11/03/2014 Title: ♦ UV Radiation Awareness to Prevent Melanoma and Non–Melanoma Skin Cancer Motion Text: That the Parliament notes the increase in the prevalence of skin cancers between 1987 and 2011 as published in the NHS Information Services Division report, Cancer Incidence in Scotland (2011); notes that the report highlights morbidity and mortality from UV radiation induced cancers; is concerned that there is a continuing increase in the number of people with melanoma in the 15 to 34 age range, including in Strathkelvin and Bearsden; notes the potentially significant human, personal, financial and societal costs of what it understands is Scotland’s most common form of cancer, and believes that sun protection is an important part of decreasing the prevalence of skin cancers.
