(asked on 16th July 2015) - View Source

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they are taking to improve early diagnosis rates for prostate cancer.
This question was answered on 24th July 2015
Through the Prostate Cancer Risk Management Programme (PCRMP), Public Health England (PHE) is working to raise awareness of prostate cancer in men.
The Programme is in place to ensure that men over 50 without symptoms of prostate cancer can have a prostate specific antigen test free on the National Health Service after a discussion with a general practitioner and consideration of an evidence based leaflet.
PHE is currently reviewing the PCRMP.
