PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(26 January 2026)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether any additional evidence published since the UK National Screening Committee’s draft recommendation in November will be considered before a final decision is made on prostate cancer screening.

Asked by:
Mr Calvin Bailey (Labour)

Answer

We have full confidence in the UK National Screening Committee's evidence-based approach, which includes a 12 week public consultation to inform the findings even further. If new peer reviewed published evidence is submitted to the consultation it will be considered before a final decision is made on prostate cancer screening.
