That the Parliament believes that increasing rates of mouth and throat cancers in Scotland are a matter of serious concern; considers that the wide variations in oral cancer incidence and survival rates between different areas and social groups in Scotland are unacceptable, with, it understands, someone in Glasgow being twice more likely to be diagnosed with oral cancer than someone in Fife; welcomes the long overdue decision to vaccinate boys in Scotland against HPV and hopes that a gender-neutral vaccination programme can be rolled out without any further delay; applauds the Scottish Government’s commitment in its Oral Health Improvement Plan to ensure that the oral cancer clinical pathway across Scotland is safe, consistent, clear and effective, but is concerned regarding the potential impact that the proposed extension of dental recall intervals to 24 months might have on dentists’ ability to detect symptoms of oral cancers early; commends the British Dental Association Scotland and the wider dental profession on their work to raise awareness of oral cancer, and urges the Scottish Government, NHS Scotland and other stakeholders to develop sustainable and innovative approaches to oral cancer care and work effectively to improve the prevention, detection and treatment of this condition.
