Gosport MP and Charlotte Fairall push for Childhood Cancer Mission to save other families from 'tragedy'
GOSPORT MP renews calls for Health Minister to put a ‘childhood cancer mission’ at the heart of the government’s cancer strategy.
Dame Caroline Dinenage, MP for Gosport, has been working alongside her constituent, Charlotte Fairall, from Stubbington, to campaign for a Childhood Cancer Mission. Speaking in Oral Questions to the Secretary of State for Health, Caroline said: ‘I’m really grateful to the Minister for earlier this year meeting with my constituent, Charlotte Fairall, who tragically lost her daughter Sophie.
‘Does she agree with me that we need a Childhood Cancer Mission embedded in the heart of any cancer strategy if we are serious about saving other families from that tragedy?’
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Mental Health and Women’s Health Strategy, Maria Caulfield said: ‘I did promise her that we would look at a Childhood Cancer Mission, and we will be updating the House on this shortly on our progress.’
