Bowel Cancer: Screening
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with his counterpart in the Northern Ireland Executive on lowering the threshold for bowel screening to 50.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) advises ministers and the National Health Service in the four United Kingdom nations about all aspects of screening. As screening is a devolved matter, it is then for each individual Government to decide on how and whether to implement the UK NSC’s recommendations.
