Scottish Parliament Written Question
S6W-26443
Friday 5th April 2024

Asked by: White, Tess (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party - North East Scotland)

Question

To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to reduce the waiting time for a colonoscopy once a patient is notified that further investigation is required after returning a bowel screening test.

Answered by Gray, Neil - Cabinet Secretary for NHS Recovery, Health and Social Care

Our priority is to ensure those people referred for suspected cancer or via screening programmes receive the appropriate diagnosis and treatment safely, based on their clinical urgency. To specifically support scope-based diagnostics, we have published a £70m Endoscopy and Urology Diagnostic Recovery and Renewal Plan, including provision of additional endoscopy training places via the NHS Academy to future-proof the workforce and provide additional diagnostic capacity to reduce waiting times.
