§ Lord Northfieldasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether, since cancer of the prostate is second only to lung cancer as the most common form of cancer in men, they will indicate how many urologists (and, if any, who they are) have been involved in the drawing up of priorities for the research and development programme in cancer of the National Health Service.
§ Baroness CumberlegeThe priorities for the National Health service research and development programme in cancer were drawn up by an advisory group whose findings and recommendations were published inR and D Priorities in Cancer, Report to the Central Research and Development Committee, 1994, copies of which are available in the Library. It gives details of the advisory group's membership, its sub-groups and the organisations consulted. While it is not possible to identify individual urologists who contributed to this exercise, urologists with an interest in cancer are represented by professional bodies that responded to the consultation.
