Respiratory Diseases: Screening
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if the Government will publish the date for the planned full rollout targeted lung screening as recommended by the UK National Screening Committee.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The National Health Service is taking crucial steps to improve cancer outcomes for patients across England, including for lung cancer. The NHS is currently rolling out the National Lung Cancer Screening Programme to people with a history of smoking.
The timescale for full implementation of the lung cancer screening programme, alongside further 10-Year Health Plan initiatives, will be specified in due course.
