  • Submitted by: Alex Rowley, Mid Scotland and Fife, Scottish Labour.
  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 10 December 2019
  • Motion reference: S5M-20136

That the Parliament commends Barbara Boyd for the work that she does to raise awareness of mouth cancer; notes that Barbara, who has the condition, raises money for the charity, Let’s Talk About Mouth Cancer, which campaigns to get people to check their mouths for danger signs, including by encouraging everyone to examine the inside of their mouth regularly to check for any irregularities or any unusual changes, swelling or ulcers and, as time is of the essence, recommending that anyone who finds something unusual should get it checked as soon as possible by a medical professional; congratulates Barbara on her fundraising in her home town of Kelty and the surrounding communities, which has resulted in the most money that the charity has ever received from one event, £1,916.25, and applauds Barbara and Let’s Talk About Mouth Cancer for raising awareness to help improve the prognosis of people diagnosed with mouth cancer through early detection.
