Ensuring breast cancer stays high on the political agenda
Breakthrough works hard to ensure elected representatives and policy makers in the UK hear patient's voices on issues affecting breast cancer services, treatments and research. Below are some of the ways in which we achieve this.
Keeping parliamentarians informed
We brief MPs and Peers on Breakthrough's campaigns and breast cancer related issues. Our parliamentary briefings ensure that they are armed with the facts about key issues and the experience of their constituents. Read our latest parliamentary briefings:Giving evidence
A key route of influence for Breakthrough is through parliamentary and assembly Committees, a group of elected representatives from across the parties, who are responsible for reviewing the Government policy. Breakthrough submits evidence to these committees, enabling the members to get a clear insight into the experience of people affected by breast cancer. Below are some examples of these submissions.Health Select Committee, Westminster
