Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to increase the uptake of breast screenings in Hornsey and Wood Green constituency.

Hornsey & Wood Green constituency falls within the London Borough of Haringey, which is served by the North London Breast Screening Service. Local partners in North London have implemented, and continue to lead, initiatives to raise awareness of breast cancer screening and to encourage eligible women to participate in screening, specifically working to improve screening for clients with disabilities and people experiencing homelessness, improving language support offered during screening appointments by making available tablets with translation applications, recruiting 10 community champions, working 10 paid hours a week, in Haringey & Enfield to support improvements in breast screening uptake, and recruiting a health promotion team to deliver targeted uptake improvement work.
