Cancer: Surrey Heath
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to improve cancer screening methodologies in Surrey Heath constituency.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
Cancer screening methodology is the same across England and adheres to national specifications and standards.
A range of improvements are being made nationally, including the introduction of the new ‘ping and book’ service via the NHS App; the provision of screening appointments at more convenient times and locations; and developments to screening IT systems as part of the Digital Transformation of Screening programme of work. These improvements will also benefit people in Surrey Heath constituency.
