<p>NHS England is responsible for the running of the Targeted Lung Health Check (TLHC)
Programme, and the roll out of the NHS Targeted Lung Cancer Screening Programme. NHS
England does not hold the number of TLHC sites that will be in operation in each financial
year until 2027/28. This is because the TLHC programme has moved away from the initial
pilot sites, and towards a national rollout of a targeted lung cancer screening programme.
The focus is therefore on overall population coverage, rather than the number of sites.</p><p>Plans
for 2024/25 are currently being finalised by NHS England, including trajectories for
expected population coverage. Plans from 2025/26 and beyond will be subject to the
outcome of a future Spending Review. The programme is expected to have invited approximately
25% of the currently eligible population by the end of March 2024.</p>
