Motion text
That this House notes that over 240,000 people in the UK are living with lymphoedema; recognises lymphoedema as a serious and debilitating illness which has a huge impact on patients' lives, which if not properly treated can lead to traumatic complications such as limb amputations; congratulates the specially trained staff at the Kendal Lymphology Centre for the excellent support they give to patients in the area who are diagnosed with lymphoedema; further notes that the centre in Kendal is a nationally-renowned centre of excellence; thanks Morecambe Bay CCG for recommitting to funding the centre for another year; and calls on the Government to fund such clinics directly under the NHS and to open more clinics like the one at Kendal in additional locations to help more sufferers around the country.
