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 implications for his policies of variations in the uptake of the bowel cancer screening programme in (a) Enfield North constituency and (b) the London Borough of Enfield.

Using the National Health Service ‘Help Us Help You’ campaign local materials have been developed to support outreach with groups in Enfield who experience inequalities around cancer, with a focus on bowel cancer screening.

Online events have been organised, such as webinars and presentations, including to Enfield Borough Partnership Black Health Forum. Enfield’s Learning Disabilities team have also supported outreach with service user groups to inform and participate in the co-production and distribution of easy read resources.
