Human Papillomavirus: Screening
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the rollout of HPV self-testing kits via the NHS App, text, email and post, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that digitally excluded individuals and non-English speakers in diverse communities, such as Leicester East, are proactively identified and supported to request and complete these kits.
Answered by Department of Health and Social Care
I refer the Hon Member to the press release issued by NHS England setting out the objectives of the self-testing rollout, and to the impact assessments carried out to inform the development of this policy, all of which are available at the following links:
