Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he expects the interim findings of the NIHR-commissioned evaluation of the community liver health check programme to be published; and what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of the programme on the diagnosis time of hepatocellular carcinoma.

The Community Liver Health Check programme has an evaluation underway, with interim results expected in early 2028. The results of the evaluation will be considered by the Government and the National Health Service in England.
