Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the EDITH trial of AI in breast screening will report; and whether national procurement of AI screening tools will await its results.

The EDITH trial is due to report in 2030. In all screening-related matters, the Government is guided by the UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC). The UK NSC will review the publication of the EDITH trial when it reports.
