Andrea Leadsom MP and Cllr Diana Dallyn attend Ovarian Cancer Reception at Westminster

Monday, 27 June, 2011

'Target Ovarian Cancer' held a 'Let's Talk' reception at Westminster on 27th June. 

The aim of the reception which was attended by Cllr Diana Dallyn - who has ovarian cancer - and her MP Andrea Leadsom was to persuade the Government to take on board the organisation's priorities. 

These are:

1.  A national awareness campaign for ovarian cancer.

2.  A reduction in inequalities in ovarian cancer survival across the UK caused by post-code and age lotteries.

3.  An increased take-up by GPs of the new access to diagnostic tests.
