Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department has taken to improve access to screening services for gynaecological cancers since the publication of the Women’s Health Strategy.
The UK National Screening Committee has considered evidence to screen for gynaecological cancers and there is currently a national screening programme for cervical cancer. The ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign focusing on abdominal and urological symptoms launched on 31 October 2022 and aims to raise awareness of ovarian cancer.
