'No safe level of exposure': Commercial sunbeds should be banned, says expert-led group

Existing modelling shows a ban on commercial sunbeds would lead to a reduction in the number of deaths from skin cancer, the working group report said.

The Government should introduce an outright ban on the use of commercial sunbeds as there is “no safe level of exposure” to ultraviolet radiation, a report has recommended.

The Sunbed Working Group has formally called on the Government to ban the use of commercial sunbeds, saying existing modelling shows it would lead to a reduction in the number of deaths from skin cancer.
