Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to encourage breast screening units to work with their communities to (1) design, and (2) deliver, an equitable recovery of the programme.
Breast cancer screening providers are being encouraged to work with Cancer Alliances, Primary Care Networks and National Health Service regional teams to promote the uptake of breast screening services and ensure local populations can access services. NHS England and NHS Improvement have allocated £22 million for replacement mobile breast screening units and £50 million to increase capacity and activity in England.
