EDM 1351: Support for families affected by childhood cancer

That this House recognises the unimaginable pain experienced by families receiving a childhood cancer diagnosis; pays heartfelt tribute to David and Sara Watson, who, following the devastating loss of their much loved son Adam, have channelled their grief into tireless campaigning to support other families on this harrowing journey; notes with deep concern the current delay of up to three months in accessing Child Disability Living Allowance (DLA) following a cancer diagnosis, despite the immediate and overwhelming needs of the child and their family; supports the call for urgent legislative reform through Adam’s Law, which would ensure automatic and immediate access to Child DLA upon diagnosis of childhood cancer; commends the work of the charity B Positive in advocating for improved wraparound support services; and urges the Government to act without delay to deliver compassionate, timely, and effective support to families facing the trauma of childhood cancer.
