MP for Manchester Withington, John Leech, has been named 'Parliamentary Champion' by Cancer Research UK in their latest campaign, Screening Matters, which endeavours to actively promote the issue of cancer screening and cancer care.

As Parliamentary Champion for the charity, John Leech MP will continue to raise the profile and emphasise the importance of cancer screening in the battle to save lives.

John recently met with Cancer Research UK to discuss bowel cancer screening in south Manchester, and in particular where the local screening centre features in the Midlands and North West Programme Hub which has been rolling out since 2006.

The Screening Matters campaign is particularly poignant as 2008 marks the twentieth anniversary of the introduction of NHS breast and cervical screening programmes.

    If you are a resident of the Manchester, Withington constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
