Local MP Andrew Percy has become one of Beating Bowel Cancer's Parliamentary Voices following a meeting with its Chief Executive Hilary Whittaker last Tuesday.
Beating Bowel Cancer is a leading charity working to raise awareness of symptoms, promote early diagnosis and encourage open access to treatment choice for those affected by bowel cancer.
Local MP Andrew Percy says, "Becoming a Parliamentary Voice will allow me to keep bowel cancer issues high on the political agenda. Together the Parliamentary Voice Group of MPs and Peers can table questions and raise issues for debate.
At times issues are raised by patients which warrant action at a higher level or even an intervention from their MP. Beating Bowel Cancer will communicate with me on any issues the people of Brigg and Goole are having so that I can act upon them.
I look forward to working with Beating Bowel Cancer on these issues that are important to me and my constituents."
