Better sunbed standards

Liverpool City Council is calling on the Government to amend legislation to enable it, and other councils across England, to licence sunbed salons.

Why is this important?

The campaign follows new research revealing that more than 80% of young women who use sunbeds in Liverpool are unaware it can lead to an increased risk of skin cancer. Since 2000 the number of new cases of skin cancer in Liverpool has increased by 129%, more than double the increase seen nationally. Public health experts say lives will be saved if councils have more powers to regulate sunbed salons.
