(asked on 8th May 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which cancer screening programmes have been run in part or entirely by private companies since 2010.
This question was answered on 11th May 2018
NHS England contracts at a local level for cancer screening programmes and therefore related information is held by NHS England local teams.
In relation to the breast screening programme, NHS England has contracted with one independent sector provider – InHealth – which delivers screening services in three areas which are North and East Devon, Outer North East London, and Surrey and North East Hampshire.
