Prostate Cancer: Health Education
(asked on 4th July 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding his Department has allocated to prostate cancer awareness campaigns since 2010.
The Be Clear on Cancer spend on prostate cancer is available in the following table.
Public Health England (PHE) ran a Be Clear on Cancer prostate cancer local pilot campaign from October to November 2014, specifically targeting Black African-Caribbean men, because of their significantly increased risk of developing prostate cancer compared to the general male population. The campaign included posters, print, community radio messaging, street ambassadors and public relations. All campaign materials have been made available to Prostate Cancer UK so that they can be used in any future activity.
