Submission Documents: By Bailie Elizabeth Cameron:- "Each year, more than 7000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer across the United Kingdom. Due to a widespread lack of knowledge of the warning signs, the similarity of symptoms to more common conditions and the inability of any screening tests to identify it, ovarian cancer has become known as the 'silent killer' of women. Council notes the success of previous work in raising awareness of the incidence and symptoms of cancer through bodies such as the Council's former Women's Health Working Group. Consequently, Council recognises the positive contribution that it can make in helping to address the devastating impact ovarian cancer has on women. Council calls upon the Chief Executive to investigate methods of improving the awareness of staff in the Council family of the symptoms and prevalence of ovarian cancer. Furthermore, it resolves to initiate discussions on the formation of a city-wide health education project in partnership with the Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board and existing ovarian cancer action groups."
