<p>Following the Independent Breast Screening Review, the Government has committed
to making sure that the breast screening offer to women is clear, reflected in public-facing
materials, and implemented consistently across all breast screening services, including
in the policy and related programme guidance and training.</p><p>The breast screening
service specification 2019/20 will set out the national standards for every breast
screening provider service for the whole of England. This service specification is
based on recommendations from the UK National Screening Committee and reflect clinical
advice from Public Health England. The standards are used in contracts that are held
locally between NHS England regions and breast screening providers.</p><p>Further,
NHS England asked Professor Sir Mike Richards to lead a review of the current screening
programmes, including breast cancer screening. The review will provide recommendations
to improve uptake of screening, improve delivery, learn lessons from recent screening
incidents, and modernise and expand diagnostic capacity. This review will report shortly.</p>
