MHK to query bowel cancer figures

Bowel cancer diagnoses on Island will be a subject of questioning in the House of Keys this week.

In a written question for Health Minister, David Ashford MHK, Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper will ask how many have been diagnosed with the condition each year since data recording on it started in 2018, broken down by age quartile.

Furthermore, Mr Hooper also wants to know if those figures show any emerging trends and if so what action is being taken.

The next Keys session will get underway tomorrow at 10am in Douglas.
