Working with the Scottish Parliament
Cancer Research UK is the largest funder of cancer research in Scotland, spending nearly £27 million in basic, clinical, tobacco control and health behavioural research. In this section you can find out more about our work in Scotland.
We believe that cancer must remain one of the main health priorities for the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Executive.
We work with the 129 MSPs in the Parliament, advising them on cancer and research issues and their importance to the health and education agendas.

We run a programme of events with MSPs, in Holyrood and in their constituencies. MSPs have supported our fringe events at the party conferences, taken part in Race for Life and other local fundraising events, and volunteered in our shops.
In addition, we provide the Secretariat to the Cross Party Group on Cancer in the Scottish Parliament. The Group meets regularly to hear from experts on cancer research and services in Scotland.
Since responsibility for health is devolved to the Scottish Parliament, their legislative programme is different. Find out about how we are campaigning to ensure legislation in Scotland benefits public health and cancer patients.
