Screening

Background

Following the transition of responsibilities from Public Health England (now UKHSA) to NHS England (NHSE) in October 2021, publication of screening data for the 11 NHS screening programmes is now predominantly carried out by NHS England. Some reports continue to be published on the former NHS Digital or the GOV.UK website. The sections below provide links to all relevant screening publications.
