<p>By the end of March 2024, 48% of the eligible population of West Yorkshire will
have been reached by targeted lung health checks. This figure includes the impact
of the national programme overseen by NHS England and the Yorkshire Lung Screening
Trial, which operates in the City of Leeds and has been funded by Yorkshire Cancer
Research.</p><p> </p><p>The national requirement is that a full population rollout
programme should be in place by 2028/29 and a local programme of expansion has already
been developed to cover the remaining population within this timescale. This will
include populations who will have aged into eligibility for targeted lung health checks
whilst the initial programme has been developed across West Yorkshire. The rollout
strategy for targeted lung health checks has been based around managing health inequalities
and improving clinical outcomes.</p>
