Cancer society calls for sunbed consent forms

EVERYONE using a sunbed must sign a consent form under planned legislation on the use of the tanning machines, the Irish Cancer Society has urged.

The society advises people to avoid sunbed use believes there should be an outright ban on their use.

Nevertheless, it has welcomed the start of a six-week public consultation process by Health Minister, Mary Harney, on proposed legislation that will prohibit sunbed use by under 18s.
