Lords ChamberRead Full debate Read Hansard Text Read Debate Ministerial Extracts
Lord Kamall (Con)
The method for booking screenings has now changed, so people can book online on demand, rather than waiting for a referral.
Baroness Bryan of Partick (Lab)
Does the Minister agree that it is beyond doubt now that screening is beneficial? Can he assure us that no credence is given to those arguing that screening leads to overtreatment? Can we say that that is scotched?
Lord Kamall (Con)
The Government completely agree with the sentiments expressed by the noble Baroness.
