Written Answers
Breast Cancer: Screening
Asked by: Amanda Hack (Labour - North West Leicestershire)
Wednesday 14th January 2026

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of targeted interventions to improve breast cancer screening uptake among underserved groups.

Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The NHS Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) has returned to normal operation following disruption from COVID-19 and subsequent recovery measures.

NHSBSP is seeing improvement in uptake nationally with annual data for 2023/24 showing the number of women who are up to date with their screening has increased to the highest on record, to 4.61 million.

Breast screening uptake among those invited in 2023/24 improved to 70%, an increase from 64.6% in 2022/23, which is the first time the NHSBSP has hit its acceptable target for breast screening uptake since before the pandemic.

In February 2025, NHS England launched the first ever National Health Service breast screening campaign nationally to widespread media attention. It ran across television, radio, social media, and outdoor advertising during February and March, targeting women of breast screening age, with a focus on those least likely to attend, including younger women, those in deprived areas, ethnic minorities, and disabled women.

Specifically, regarding North West Leicestershire, measures to improve uptake include implementation of a timed appointment system which gives patients a specific date and time for their screening appointment, rather than asking them to contact the service to arrange one themselves. Evidence has shown that timed appointments improve participation and help reduce health inequalities. In addition, workforce structure is being reviewed to ensure a resilient staffing establishment capable of managing the higher demand from the timed appointment system.

More broadly, the integrated care board works with NHS England to support an increase in breast screening across Leicester, Leicestershire, Rugby. This includes:

  • video shared via a link in a text message outlining the benefits of breast screening, targeted at women who have not attended their previous screening appointment
  • a multidisciplinary project to address the requirements of women with a serious mental illness to attend for their breast screening
  • working with primary care liaison nurses to support women with learning disabilities to attend for their breast screening

Breast Cancer: North West Leicestershire
Asked by: Amanda Hack (Labour - North West Leicestershire)
Wednesday 14th January 2026

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how he plans to support areas with lower than national average attendance to breast cancer screening appointments, such as North West Leicestershire.

Select Committee Inquiry
29 Jan 2026
Realising potential: Delivering the Child Poverty Strategy
Work and Pensions Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

Members of the Education and Work and Pensions Select Committees have decided to undertake an inquiry that will consider how the Government can ensure it will deliver a successful Child Poverty Strategy.

On 5 December 2025, the Government published its  Child Poverty Strategy, which it estimates will lift 550,000 children out of poverty by the final year of this Parliament. The Strategy sets out measures across three different areas:

(i) boosting family incomes;

(ii) driving down the cost of essentials; and

(iii) strengthening local support.

Whilst the Strategy signals a positive step in the right direction, the Committees are seeking to explore if the Government is being sufficiently ambitious. The Committees will also consider how accountability, outcomes, and the longevity of the Strategy could be strengthened through targets, monitoring and evaluation, to ensure sustained work and progress to reduce child poverty.

Please read Parliament's guidance on giving evidence to select committees before writing your submission. For safeguarding reasons and to avoid identification, please refrain from naming specific people, educational settings or children in your submission. We are unable to publish personal testimony evidence that is submitted anonymously or contains this information. Personal testimony evidence that cannot be published will be read and summarised into an anonymised thematic note.

Your submission should be no more than 3,000 words.

You can submit evidence until 23:59 on 6 March 2026.

Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry
