Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, what steps he is taking to raise awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer.

We encourage people to get in touch with their general practitioner if they notice or are worried about symptoms that could be cancer. NHS England is running the ‘Help Us, Help You’ (HUHY) campaigns, which seeks to address the barriers that are deterring patients from accessing the National Health Service. A campaign on abdominal and urological symptoms launched on 31 October 2022 and ran through to December 2022, addressing symptoms of ovarian cancer. NHS England is in the process of planning HUHY activity for 2023/24.
