The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of cervical screening services in Surrey Heath constituency.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

NHS England’s data for 2023/24 shows that cervical screening coverage in the Surrey Heath primary care network was 71.6% in the 25 to 49 year old age group, and 76.8% in the 50 to 64 year old age group. These figures are above the England average, 67.5% and 74.9% respectively, but below the acceptable threshold of 80%.
