Breast Cancer: Screening
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when NHS England will publish the delayed breast screening uptake improvement plan.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
NHS England will publish a Breast Screening Programme Uptake Improvement Review this year, to help improve uptake and address inequalities.
The review supports breast screening service providers with national solutions such as:
- introducing digital options for sending out invitations and managing appointments;
- raising awareness of the importance of screening through the media; and
- facilitating learning and gathering evidence to inform programme policy, pathway changes, and guidance.
