Moves for the Government to publish an assessment of incidences of bowel conditions and diseases, highlighting a hidden epidemic in Newcastle Central and the north-east. Emphasises that bowel disease has significant socioeconomic disparities, particularly high rates of ulcerative colitis, colorectal cancer, smoking, obesity, and economic deprivation. Proposes legislation to collect and report statistics by region and socio-economic indices for better understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and addressing inequalities.
