Screening division inequities in uptake Report 2020-21
- All Wales/National
- Annual
This report is a summary of information on equity of uptake in four adult screening programmes delivered by Public Health Wales for the year from April 2020 to the end of March 2021.
Across the national screening programmes in Wales, it is our aim that everyone eligible for screening has equitable access and opportunity to take up their screening offer using reliable information to make a personal informed choice. Screening saves lives, reduces complications and enables choice through early identification and treatment of health conditions. However, screening is not taken up equally across population groups resulting in disparities in outcomes and health inequities. Addressing inequity in uptake in the national screening programmes is a key objective for the Screening Division of Public Health Wales.
