Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have for a national campaign to ensure men at increased risk of prostate cancer are aware of this risk and of their right to request a free prostate-specific antigen test.

On 28 November, the UK National Screening Committee opened a 12-week public consultation on a draft recommendation on screening for prostate cancer. We anticipate a final recommendation in early 2026. After which, my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, will make a decision on whether to accept the recommendation, and what next steps are needed, including whether a public health campaign would be appropriate.
