<p>Professor Sir Mike Richards published his interim findings of his Independent Review
of Adult Health Screening in May. The Government is considering Professor Sir Mike’s
interim recommendations carefully, alongside the recent report on screening published
by the Public Accounts Committee, the recommendations made in the Independent Breast
Screening Review and the commitments made in the NHS Long Term Plan.</p><p>Workforce
requirements to support delivery of our national screening programmes are included
in scope of Professor Sir Mike’s review, with specific reference to diagnostic capacity
and the need to improve uptake and address inequalities. Whilst we await publication
of Professor Sir Mike’s final report, Ministers and officials in the Department are
continuing to engage with Professor Sir Mike on how to improve effective delivery
of our national screening programmes, which includes addressing the workforce requirements.</p><p>
