<p>Improving early diagnosis of cancer, including breast cancer, remains a priority.
We are working towards the NHS Long Term Plan ambition of diagnosing 75% of stageable
cancers at stage 1 and 2 by 2028. The latest published data shows this was 52% from
January to December 2020. Achieving this will mean that, from 2028, 55,000 more people
each year will survive their cancer for at least five years after diagnosis.</p><p>The
Government has also expanded the Breast Screening programme, with an additional £10
million funding for 28 new breast screening units and nearly 60 life-saving upgrades
to services in the areas where they are most needed.</p>
