Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the results of the evaluation into The Help Us Help You- Cervical Screening Saves Lives will be published, as referenced on page 94 of the Women’s Health Strategy.
The Cervical Screening Saves Lives campaign concluded on 31 March 2022. The Cervical Screening Programme, England, has published the latest coverage and uptake data up to March 2022 and is available at the following link:
The report is published annually and it is expected that data from April 2022 onwards will be available by the end of 2023. The responsibility for the Help Us Help You campaign has since transferred to NHS England and the Department do not currently have any plans to deliver any further cervical screening campaigns at this point.
The evaluation for a previous Cervical Screening Saves Lives campaign delivered by Public Health England in 2019 is available at the following link:
