Julie Marson MP spoke with compassion and clarity on Wednesday.8th June. We are deeply grateful to her, once again, for her time and dedication to Jess. We know Jess would have been grateful too. Simon and I were there as she delivered her speech. Her concluding words were deeply touching

“To conclude, I will repeat a detail of Jess’s story that I think illustrates the high regard in which she was held. On the day of her funeral, a satellite that she helped to design was launched into space from Cape Canaveral. It was inscribed with the words, “Thank you, Jess!” In honour of Jessica Brady, let us implement Jess’s law, so that other young adults who face the trauma of cancer in future can also say, “Thank you, Jess.”

Again, I would ask you to please share this post and the premise of Jess’ Law. It should be spoken about and backed. It may save the life of someone you love one day. Many of you may feel it may have saved the life of someone you have already lost, had it been implemented sooner.

Jess’ Law is legislation requesting that a case should be elevated for review after the third contact with a GP surgery about a condition/symptom. After 5 it should be red-flagged and set procedures and guidelines followed, including a referral to a specialist. This should not be a tokenistic exercise i.e., a simple, inconclusive blood test and the patient given an all-clear. The investigations need to be thorough and conclusive.

In my next update, I will share details of the discussion we had with Julie Marson and the responding minister Maria Caulfield.

Thank you, as always, for all your continuing support with this campaign
