EXCLUSIVE: Amy Callaghan has written to Rishi Sunak to urge the Prime Minister to help save lives from skin cancer.
An SNP MP who survived skin cancer as a teenager has called on Rishi Sunak to scrap VAT on sunscreen to help save more lives.
She was diagnosed with melanoma at the age of 19, which later required surgery, but is now cancer free. Callaghan has now shared an open letter on the issue which will be handed in to 10 Downing Street in the coming weeks. The letter states: "Research shows that reducing the price of high-factor sunscreen by removing VAT will encourage more sunscreen use thus preventing melanoma skin cancer cases, saving lives and reducing pressure on the NHS.
